Some titles that caught my attention are:
Despatch - release Nov 13 on Steam - only compatible with Rift

Frostpoint VR
RYTE - The Eye of Atlantis

Despatch is out - but seems no one is going in 😉
I'll buy and try later today o:)Sci-Fi Meets Experimental Escape Room Gameplay
“despatch: Entity Astray” is an outstanding combination of Sci-Fi adventures and experimental Escape Room Games. Impressive AA graphics, detailed environments, futuristic effects and a complex level design make “despatch” a remarkable VR game. Developed and optimized for Virtual Reality, “despatch” creates an immersive VR experience. By completely entering the dystopic situation, players become one with the protagonist’s journey. A strange situation requires every gamer to study the mechanics and to adapt the environment in order to create new escape paths.
The VR game “despatch: Entity Astray” has a complex game design and a perceived multi-level environment. Several solution approaches and environmental storytelling bring refreshing versatility to the gaming experience. The execution of every solution approach and additional decryption of the hidden meta story offer various play-throughs. Replay Value: Strongly recommended!
[...]
Immerse yourself into an extraordinary Sci-Fi adventure! Imagine waking up in an unknown environment. It’s dark. You have no idea where and who you are. Only a small alarm light flashes somewhere in the room. Something seems off. Why are you there and what is the mission? Discover unknown environments, find out who you are, identify the line between good and evil and help dispatch shape the universe of tomorrow.
Start your VR escape room game adventure now and bring light into the unknown darkness. But this is just the beginning. The beginning of something bigger. This is the beginning of an infinite adventure of galactic scale. The future starts now! Be despatch and witness the beginning of a brand-new Sci-Fi VR game adventure!
BTW, it's no longer a Rift only game - it also supports Index, but my spider sense tingles thinking about using lcd in a very dark game that looks like made for oled (CV1) - lcd often feels like taking a knife to a gunfight 😄

Some say Hinge is looking like an AAA-ish VR game, I'm not disagreeing - based on the trailer. The official trailer just arrived - the game is out Nov 27 (2020 ;))https://youtu.be/IL3My3ImoGY
I do hope the game contains npcs - I'm not that fond of beautiful lifeless environments. Hinge is 36GB, thus it's a big one 😉

Unfortunately I have to warn about Hinge - it's not at all finished software and totally feels like unoptimized alpha software.
I even got severe latency on hand movements, never tried that before!
Thus avoid - unless you have a 3090, lol.
Really sad or just plain stupid to release the game in this state. Now it's dead in the water, bad reviews will accumulate - and many may never give the game a second chance. I've already refunded.
The trailer looked so good - take home message: never trust a trailer, sigh.
My best advice is to remove the game from Steam immediately - right now the game is not in a state ready to be launched. You cannot patch this up in a week or two - you might need at least 6 to 12 months to optimize this game.
Bad reviews will totally kill this game and your ability to profit from it. And I'm sure you have invested countless of hours in this game.
It looks like an awesome concept, and maybe you're in a situation where you need to launch the game, but if possible, I'd advice to remove the game from Steam and relaunch when you're sure performance is acceptable and you've had time to test the game with the most popular hmds and controllers.
- and do not use anything but GTX 1060 cards or close for SteamVR res 100%, when developing the game - and I'm not joking (at least using lowest settings, GTX 1060 6GB should get solid 90 fps).This will make sure you get great performance for all users, and high-end users can then super sample as much as possible.
