I probably have even forgotten some good VR games of other genres

Just taking a quick glance at this list. The great majority of these are first person type games. Thanks for proving my point. Let me present you with a question, do you feel that VR will be the next step in gaming, or just an added feature to existing games?

Of course most of them are in a first person perspective... that's the usual perspective in the real world, too.. duh!

You are in the real or virtual world and can look around in every direction.

But all these games are in different genres with different playstyles. I also forgot to mention pinball games (f.e. Pinball FX2 VR), another genre which works great in VR.
