Very fun "parkour" game, story is a bit interesting too but not really the main focus other than to estalblish a world and why you're there. Graphics are a bit dated but its still such a fun game and I recommend it to anyone whos getting into vr, the feeling of flying around and doing "parkour puzzles" is really cool. You must know theres a nasty bug where the physics are locked to your framerate, the higher the fps / hz your headset is set to the lower your speed and jump height will be. Unplayable on 120fps or more because you flat out can't do some harder levels near the end of the game, I found out the hard way after spending forever on some sections near the end and got so frustrated I had to lookup a guide. Played the whole game on 120hz thinking it was super hard, saw a forum post about the physics and changed my headset to 90hz and my jump height almost doubled...which is what its supposed to be apparently.

Fun grappling hook game where you swing around like SpiderMan exploring the ruins of floating islands

This game has perfected the feeling of swinging on a grappling hook, admittedly to the detriment of every other kind of locomotion. I highly recommend it, even if you get it just to mess around with the free roam on easy difficulty

I love this game so much, it really shows that 3d platforming and VR do mix and the incredible experiences that are possible with VR. To account for the game being short I would recommend buying on Discount if you are worry of the price tag. Also the number of hours played is lying because I played a ton before on the oculus store before I had to switch to steam and buy it again.
