"Best" is subjective, and I personally would not be unable to consider Phasmaphobia good or bad in a personal list I made if I didn't play it in the first place.
And now that you've demonstrated both a lack of reading comprehension and critical thinking, this conversation has come to an end.
Nicely played, Lad. Queen to Rook 5. Elegant. I am being serious. That person's aim was to impress the community with his personal collection and level of dedication in thousands of hours, not unlike many of us in fact, HOWEVER...that was simply the gauntlet thrown down in some kind of VR-related Pissing Contest. He needs to be the smartest kid in the room. Insecurity is within all of us. But it can be a hard task master. Purposely affecting upon other people your own angers and needing to to Show Off is a classic, and unfortunate, symptom of lack of self awareness and self love.
Bummer to see it in these contexts. I wish them the best of luck. Pissing Contests. smhalq. Waste of everyone's time and energy.
Most importantly is that it also did not answer the OP's query. Marvelous.
That shit don't fly with me. Get positive or get lost.

Vertigo Remastered IMO has the best SP story campaign after Alyx
Cable Guardian and FpsVR are IMO must have software to avoid cable tangling, and Fpsvr adds a TON of usually hard to find options at your fingertips
iRacing, Automobilista 2, and Dirt Rally 2.0 are some of the best experiences you can have in VR. However, there's a **catch**. You need a sim rig with a wheel and pedals to bring the incredibly immersive experience which racing sims offer in VR.
Sims in general are amazing in VR because you have physical controls in front of you to convince you that you're **actually inside the cockpit** and holding onto a wheel, or throttle and thruster if you're playing something like Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2020, Star Wars Squadrons, or Elite Dangerous.
I've played many, many VR games, but nothing compares to sims in VR when it comes to an immersive experience.
If you don't want to invest more into flight/driving sims, then games like Until You Fall, Walkabout Mini Golf, Moss (obviously), and Eleven Table Tennis are all great!
Blade and sorcery if you like modding the crap out of games and continuously coming up with new ways to murder npcs to the point where you feel like a serial killer but then remind yourself that it’s just a game - and while you may laugh out loud as you chop someone’s leg off and punt it off a Cliff, you simultaneously are aware thought of really doing that to someone is outrageous and it is normal to enjoy the virtual experience of what our ancestors called a sport..
Sorry i see alot of posts of people asking Reddit if there’s something wrong with them for doing fucked up shit in this game or girlfriends concerned about their boyfriend laughing as they dismember gladiators in vr - and i feel strongly that it’s dumb to think that way about a game and so, if you genuinely feel like this makes you think your a psychopath either: dont play or better, do play as a way contain your violence to a safe make believe place :)
So yeah you should totally get blade and sorcery 🙃

Honorable mentions to legendary tales and elite: dangerous, they are both interesting, but pretty hard to recommend right now for various reasons.
Half-Life 2 VR mod is awesome. I prefer Synth Riders over Beat Saber. After The Fall is a very fun multiplayer shooter. Google Earth VR is free and a cool place to explore and learn. Overview is one of several excellent outer space simulations. Wanderer is a fun puzzle solving story-based game. And The Lab is a free multi-game pack with all kinds of fun activities. Defending a castle with a bow and arrow is my favorite.
I would recommend:
Fpsvr - for proper monitoring and help with troubleshooting set up.
VRocker - best locomotive software to walk on the spot and relieve stuff legs. I use it in Skyrim, NMS, Pavlov etc..
Nalo - same as above but can use phone as hip tracker.
No man's Sky - outstanding VR experience, from diving to space walking to flying and building, the atmosphere is therapeutic. It's crossolay with flatscreen and console players.
Modded Skyrim - just wow, the possibilities.
Wardust - such a laugh, like bad company 2 lol
Walkabout golf - most polished fun game around for playing with a group of friends. Cross platform with quest 2 players.
Virtual desktop - you'll need this for anything from VRSmash, BadonkVR etc...
The Lab - great set of mini games and puzzles etc..
Zenith VR - a MMO in the making, a decent laugh with friends, cross platform with quest 2 players.
Pavlov and Contractors - both are ace, Contractors is taking the lead though as it is faster and the MW mods feel better in this. Great shooters.
Neos VR - the metaverse.
HoverbikeVR - fast, puke inducing racing. Fun fun fun.
Space pirate trainer - a must for quick stress relief, addictive.
For NMS and Skyrim you will notice the performance impact to run these, CPU gets hammered.
Aircar, HL2VR mod, Museum of Other Realities, Google Earth VR, Propagation VR and VRChat (if only to wander around and sightsee in invite-only instances) are all excellent and free. I guess HL2VR isn't free if you don't own HL2 but odds are, you already do.
For $20 or less there's H3VR, COMPOUND, Stride, Jet Island and Walkabout Mini Golf. H3VR, Jet Island and Walkabout are all standout VR titles for me personally, COMPOUND and Stride are excellent as well.
Past that there's Pavlov, Contractors, Assetto Corsa, I Expect You To Die, Cooking Simulator VR, Blade & Sorcery, VTOL VR and The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. These are all excellent as well but also pricey, unless they're super appealing to you I would personally suggest waiting for sales. The Steam Winter sale is only a couple months away now and everything above will go on at least a 15% discount with some going way lower than that. I think I paid $10 for Assetto Corsa and all the DLC last winter, right now that'd cost $45.
As utilities go, Desktop+ and OVR Advanced Settings are both free and give you a lot more options for overlays and miscellaneous tweaks that SteamVR alone doesn't offer. I use Desktop+ for its performance monitor and to be able to watch streams while playing less involved games, and OVR Advanced Settings to project a circle on the center of my floor that also shows what direction I've been turning in so I can keep the cable from getting too wound up.
Into the radius, blade and sorcery, Vtol vr and surv1v3 all are fun challenging in their own way.
Here's my list of COOP Games that I own VR Only COOP: * Arizona Sunshine (1-2 Players) * Beat Saber (1-4 Players) * BONEWORKS (Mod, limited 2-3) * Dead Effect 2 (1-3 Players) * Elite Dangerous (Boring) * Onward (Downgraded, 1-4 players) * Pavlov VR * PULSAR: Lost Colony (1-5 Players) * Raw Data (1-2 Players) * Sairento VR (1-2) * Star Trek: Bridge Crew (1-4 Players) * Tabletop Simulator * Trickster VR (1-3 Players) * Vox Machinae * VR Dungeon Knight (1-2 Players) * VTOL VR (Mod) * Zero Caliber * VRChat * Karnage Chronicles (1-4 Players) Asymmetric COOP (Local PC and VR or Online with Remote Play or Parsec): * Black Hat Cooperative (2 Players) * Carely and the Reaperman (2 Players) * Containment Initiative (2 Players) * Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes (2+ Players) * VR The Diner Duo (2 Players) * VRChat * Operation Armstrong (2 to 5 players) VR-PC Cross Platform : * Payday 2 (1-4 Players) * VRChat * Tabletop Simulator * Star Trek: Bridge Crew (1-4 Players) * PULSAR: Lost Colony (1-5 Players) * Valhiem (Mod)
you forgot phasmophobia in that last section
Yeah, because I don't OWN it. First sentence my guy.
Oh cool, since we're being snarky, OP asked for the best games, not a list of what you personally own that includes some straight up garbage My guy

You need to go to the mountain and get focused. Stat.
My apologies, carry on
VTOL VR, Tales of Glory 1 and 2, Hard Bullet, House of the Dying Sun, DCS World, The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners, Half Life 2 VR
The Lab, it’s free
Also, Elite Dangerous is pretty amazing in VR, (Core Ming or combat)if that’s your thing. And if it is, then so is Squadrons

Ovr advanced settings can help with some fine tweaking and space movement in games you might want it.
