Half Life: Alyx, Boneworks/Bonelab, Beat Saber, and Superhot are all worthwhile VR games I've explored places flying around in Google Earth VR that I never would have otherwise. I partially based my decision on where to move through exploring on it. VRchat is weird but feels like real social spaces. I think it helped me overcome some social anxiety, and it was nice to have some analogue of "going out" when quarantined. I never got that into it, but I met people on there who made friends in VR that they later met IRL. There are a few art/design/sculpting apps that work well in VR. Blender has a VR add-on. Those and molecule builder and 3D function graphing apps give a better visualization and are arguably more intuitive than working with 3D objects in a 2D render. Not all apps require that much energy since they can be run on a standalone battery powered headset, and apps that require a PC would use more energy if rendered to a 4k monitor.
