I love how distinctive the art style is, but also how the gameplay rewards you for paying attention to the world and design.

Personally my peak VR experience has been playing the Outer Wilds with a PC VR mod, but very hardware dependent to get decent framerates.

Wanderer might be a good option for you if you’re looking for a puzzle game with a bit more story meat to it.

I think a lot of VR games end up short and sweet not just for technical & cost limitations but because the extra effort and intensity of the VR experience means players can get burnt out on longer story focused games. I remember Valve talking about how they had to really change up the pacing of their standard formula when they were developing Half Life: Alyx.

Feels like everyone I know has eventually ended up with their own copy. Hands down my favorite coop board game - it does a good job of minimizing the problem where one person effectively ends up playing for the whole table. Plus as you said the flavor is great.
