POLYBIUS IS OUT ON STEAM.
Free your mind.
Moo.
MY MIND IS FREED. Thanks for the Xmas gift of POLYBIUS. It is very trippy.
The other VR game I've been spending a lot of time with lately (beside Beat Saber natch) is
Catch & Release!
[video=youtube;qYHBaJf-yHY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYHBaJf-yHY[/video]
It's very chill and both the fishing rod physics and rowboat physics are GOOD. Doing objectives, like catching a certain fish in a certain spot, unlocks better equipment and new tools and it's all very engrossing and I can't stop playing.
Also you get the same amount of points whether you keep the fish or release it back, in case you wanna do a pacifist playthrough. :)

I recently finished GNOG. The game was delightful and infuriating in equal measure; sometimes it is less than transparent in the clues it gives you, and sometimes things don't work when you're pretty certain they should. All in all, I'd say it's worth it for people who like games like Chuchel, games that are toy-like and charming, but I would only suggest getting it if it's below US$10 (or even US$5) and if you have a high tolerance level when it comes to VR jankiness that could've been reduced or even removed if the developers hadn't left it at 'good enough'.
I also played some more Beat Saber and I really enjoy the new song ("POP/STARS"). It's great fun to play and makes you feel like you're a rhythm master (when really you probably look like a bit of a knob). There's another seemingly new song just underneath it on the list; I can't remember the title, but it's boring to listen to and boring to play. It makes me wish you could just hide certain songs.
Finally, I've now committed to playing a couple of hours of Skyrim VR until I tire of the game. The VR implementation is janky, but it does make a huge difference to be immersed in that world, to look up at misty mountains and to be enveloped by the night. I've only just made it to Bleak Falls Barrow and the game has well and truly sucked me in (with some judicious mods, obviously). Also, the more I get used to Natural Locomotion, the better it is; for me, it makes a huge difference to be taking those steps myself, even if I'm just walking in place.

Oh, anyone looking for a good VR scare? Here's a... remake? riff? ... of that
P.T. demo, made in Unreal - and if you play it while your headset's hooked up, you can play it in VR. Neat, huh?

Disclaimer: I haven't played this and I never may, since I quite like having a heard that beats and a sphincter that does its job.

I was scrolling through (
https://uploadvr.com/vr-games-2019/) uploadVR's upcoming 2019 games list and spotted
yet another Thief-inspired VR game! In addition to the clunky-but-fun
Unknightly, and
Thorrows, which (
https://twitter.com/thorrows) hasn't show any signs of life since 2017, we now also have
Rogan: The Thief In The Castle.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but there's this thing called Cosmic Sugar and it's really something.

The (
https://store.steampowered.com/app/559010/Cosmic_Sugar_VR/) free version doesn't have all the fancy features in the above video, only basic attractor/repulsor tools, but even so I just spent half an hour in it just feeling the shape of the cosmos, maaaan. I swear I'm not even high.

Given my desire to play Thief (preferably Thief Gold) in VR with full hand and head tracking, I will have to keep my eye on Rogan: The Thief in the Castle.
Has Unknightly expanded beyond the one mission yet? I haven't played it in a while.

Unknightly is still the same 2 dungeon levels and a tutorial that it's been for a long time, tho they did update the core gameplay systems about a half year back and in October they showed this teaser of the next level, tho it's not out yet.

We already have VR rhythm games that are all about PUNCHING MUSIC and SLICING MUSIC with AudioShield and Beat Saber, now original Guitar Hero-devs Harmonix are getting in on the action the a game that's all about... wait for it... SHOOTING MUSIC!

I am very much looking forward to this.

They also did a Rock Band VR - a fun enough game, but it doesn't work nearly as well as regular, non-VR Rock Band. I thought they weren't doing great to begin with (unless that's just the Rock Band team), so I'm surprised that Harmonix puts this much of an effort into VR, seeing how relatively small the audience is.

What ever happened to good ol' dancing to music?
