Puzzling Places
A great puzzle game that brings 3D jigsaw puzzles into VR. With relaxing environments, a great soundscape, and frequent content updates. Jigsaws are composed of real places that have been carefully photo scanned into VR. Early access to Puzzling Places was one of the AppLab release titles. That's why the game's had a lot of time to mature which you can definitely see.
Swarm
Arcade action at its finest. Swing around with a grappling hook while shooting all sorts of enemies and constantly fly around the level.
