Obduction looked great but didn't support my WMR, supports the rift however https://www.humblebundle.com/store/obduction It's from the creators of Myst.

I see a few shooters on your list, Onward is a great tactical FPS game, but I enjoy Pavlov more. Pavlov is maybe Counter Strike VR, good fun handling the weapons. Both on steam.

By Girlfriend really enjoys Beat Saber, I prefer Box VR, both rhythm type games.

If you enjoyed the climb, you might like climbey.

Some other games to consider.

Fallout 4 VR,
Skyrim VR,
Budget Cuts,
Arizona Sunshine,
The Wizards,
Sairento VR,
Serious Sam game,
I expect you to Die,

Games that you should try, short but really well done.

Batman Arkham VR,
Vader Immortal,

Games that need more movement :)

Creed,
Thrill of the Fight,
Gorn,
Eleven: Table Tennis,
Beat Saber,
Knockout League.

Mulitplayer games

Star Trek Bridge Crew. (can be played solo, but, is so much better with a few friends)
Rec Room,
War Dust, Contractors, Pavlov and Onward are some of the more popular FPS shooters

If you have Doom 3 BFG or Alien Isolation, there are VR mods for both of those games and they are great in VR. Alien Isolation is intense.

You might like Car racing sims, Project Cars 2 is way better than Project Cars.

Experiences
Since you have listed the Blu and Apollo 11 you might like the following

Google Earth VR,
Discovering Space II
Go For Launch Mercury and Mission:ISS

The games/experiences that I listed are all ones that I played enjoyed. Some are free.

The only exceptions are Project Cars2, Skyrim VR, Beat Saber, Onward, Contractors, Pavlov and Creed. I haven't played any of those games.

If you can tell me what games you like/liked most from your list I could probably make better recommendations instead of posting a generic list :)
 
You haven't played beat saber? Beat Saber is the main reason I have not sold my rift. I nearly did not buy as I had never liked a rythem game until I played beat saber.
 
Beat Saber has become any addiction for me. When I started expert seemed impossible and the feeling when you complete one feels amazing. Now I have the problem that expert feels to easy and a lot of expert+ is still too hard. I know it will click eventually.

Games that were best value for money for me are
Beat Saber
Lone echo
I expect you to die
Super hot (until Steam/oculus bug made unplayable, get it on oculus store)
Bridge crew if you can find some good people to play with
Robo recall
Dirt rally (with wheel, may be a bit meh without)
 
I have the Rift S, and these are my go-to games:

Arizona Sunshine
Gun Club VR
H3VR
Onward
Robo Recall
Skyrim VR

I'm also looking forward to the VR updates for Dirt Rally 2.0 and No Man's Sky!
