What makes a good VR Game ?

Is it the story ? The graphics ? The movement ? The interactions ? For me, a good VR game is one you feel at ease with, one that rewards your interactions within the game environment and that feels fluid/natural.

As I've played a lot of VR Games, I've come across many great concepts. Some of my most favorite games are Beat Saber and Echo VR, because movement feels rewarding.

I would then like to make a game that makes movement as rewarding and as enjoyable as those. As of the gameplay itself, I was thinking of doing a Melatonin-like game (scenic rhythm game). All that would be contained within a lobby like The Lab

In the end there should be a link to the final build, repo and a 10-20 sec final result video.
