Are there any good VR games yet? (lemm.ee)

I got a Quest 2 a while back and played around with it a bit. There were some entertaining games like "I expect you to die" and the first portion of "Lone Echo", but mostly they just felt like proof of concept demos and I quickly lost interest.

Is there anything actually made for VR and a fully fledged high quality game?

Skyrim is next level in VR. Not sure if you can play it on the quest, but the level of immersion in the obscenely large world and exploring it in 3D makes the older engine feel entirely irrelevant.

You can 100% play on the quest (2 at least). I thought it was really good. The scale of everything hits a lot different. Not every mod works but a lot of them do - even the big ones. Archery is super fun.

The unskippable "boring" introduction we've all seen 1000 times in VR is wildly better. You really feel like you're being carted through a town, hearing people all around you talk their shit. Then the dragon.

I didn't actually get that far because space constraints became an issue with where I had my setup, but going to the little town then white run felt like an adventure on its own.
