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?

There's Alyx. Other than that, not really.

There's a lot of games that do come close though, but never really reach the full potential and kind of still do feel either like proof of concept demos (Lone Echo, Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners), are just a very simplified arcade experience (Beat Saber), sims (which do work great in VR), or ports of non-VR games that can't by definition fully utilize the full potential of the platform, even with hand tracking added in.
