I see we're mostly talking about technical issues with games, not the games themselves. So, to try and change that...

Half-Life: Alyx

Took me quite a few months since we got the native version, I'd say about 20 hours in game time. I found it hard to start playing what with getting up from the chair and putting on the headset and usually having to redo the room setup, but once I did I played for hours.

It's the best gaming experience I've had in the last 10 years, if not more. It's so intense, sometimes downright scary, when you know that headcrab will jump on your face in 2 seconds if you don't kill it first. It's typical HL, with its very cool eastern European setting, even for me (Polish dude here) and something new around every corner. On the other hand, the journey is definitely more interesting than the destination, as the ending section is very brief, despite managing to interestingly change the rules, and the ending itself is decidedly low key with required knowledge from HL2 and its episodes to at all be able to understand what's going on.

I had to use the most comfortable settings (teleport movement and snap turning) to play, unfortunately any sort of smooth movement in VR makes me instantly nauseous - to the point that when there's a spot towards the end when you rise in an open area (there are elevator sections before, but they're mostly enclosed and the movement is not so pronounced) and it immediately provoked a tiny lurch in my stomach.

I had technical issues galore. My 980Ti is barely fit for VR, mostly because Nvidia doesn't have async reprojection in their driver, so there was horrible stutter to start with. I had to set the game's gfx settings to medium (it still looks amazing), reduce rendering res to 100%, refresh to 80Hz and enable legacy reprojection to get smooth movement, with stutter only appearing for brief periods during loadings. Interface windows often went empty, mostly annoying when I died and the only thing I could do was load a save (or quit the game) and the window was empty. Furiously pressing all buttons on the controllers would bring back the window contents (often for just a second before it disappeared again) and usually within a minute or so I was able to load the game. I had some graphical glitches during gameplay, too, with some pools of alien blood flickering and the wrong colour, plus a peculiar corrupted rectangle positioned somewhere outside the level appearing through walls in a couple of places.

Add to that problems with SteamVR, like the headset no longer working after system suspend and having to restart the computer to play again, and it's not an experience for the faint of heart.

Despite all that it's absolutely glorious and everyone should play it.
