@toString has some good recomendations also

Oh and Arizona Sunshine 2! (AS: Remake, is also good). This is a nice fun zombie game. I really liked it and forgot to mention it!

If you like RPG then the GingasVR Overhaul for Fallout4 VR is very good, takes a while to setup but you've got 100hrs gameplay right there.

The Room VR and 7th Guest VR are good fun, Red Matter is decent too especially if you want easy puzzles and a bit more fps gameplay.

I've not played the Alien and Metro games yet but they are supposed to be good.

Don't forget simulations Elite, No Mans Sky, StarWars Squadrons, DCS, MSFS... DCS is a good start because you get a base plane for free and time limited free access to other modules at certain times so you can try it out see if you like sitting in a 3d cockpit before jumping in with HOTAS equipment etc...

In that case, pop into the VR Sim racing channel on discord. We'll be pleased to have a new member.

Skyrim might be ok. Perhaps wait for a sale and try it out. I seem to remember it was fine on my 2070 Super in my PC

dont forget theres always future deal, so dont feel like you have to spend loads, get say 5 titles you think you'll enjoy go from there.

Base Skyrim, with a few essential mods - Higgs VR, Plank VR, Sky UI, Skyrim Script Extender, and maybe a few others would probably work and offer a much better VR experience. I wouldn't try one of the huge modlists as they tend to be quite resource hungry.

most laptops seriously lack the grunt to drive PCVR unfortunately, if you can achieve equivalence of say an RTX3080 dGPU you'll be ok with compromises

Doesn't take much to install a few small mods, but you're probably right. Vanilla Skyrim VR isn't a very good VR experience though.

i tried playing a pc game using virtual desktop. i was using an Xbox control pad but the Quest kept tracking my hands and interfering with the controls. is there a way to disable the Quest controllers when playing a non vr game?

Disable hand tracking, on my pro I put the controllers on charge and they don't show could you take batteries out.

I think you might still get the head pointer though, which is less of an intrusion.
