EchoVR is very exciting because it demonstrates the 6DoF VR experience pretty well and interaction with space (e.g. you have to throw discs and catch them, while floating), but it's still in beta so it has limited content. Pavlov Shack too but it's also in alpha and requires SideQuest. The Climb is pretty cool as an experience, but not necessarily mind blowing.
One of the first games I tried with the Quest was "The Exorcist" which was pretty creepy and really showcases the immersiveness of VR. You really feel like you're there in that game, which was not always a good thing.
Unpopular opinion, but personally I don't really like Beat Saber (yes, partially because I suck at it). It feels too casual and very repetitive, which I don't feel demonstrates VR's potential. Too much like fruit ninja but for VR.
Outside of games (you can use Oculus for more than games!), I'd also check out Immersed VR. I don't think it's there yet, but the idea has a lot of potential. Very innovative app.
