It fails to manage itself in the same way the Valve devices do, and it's under the control of Facebook (which, of course, puts you at the mercy of the "Zuckerberg" model Cyberdyne android. Don't be lured in by the Oculus' low price point. If you have the money, go for a Valve Index. If you don't have VR, be sure to grab it. It's now VR compatible, and it looks breathtaking regardless of whether you're on a Quest 2, Vive, or Index. I won't go into details since I'm unsure if you have VR, but if you do, be sure to check out the new Myst remake. VR is where games like Myst always wanted to exist in the first place, and you can find many options open to you on Steam VR. Speaking of VR, if you have VR, there are soooo many avenues open to you. It's not just a "learn what to slide, pull, and tap on" game like The Room series is (although the VR version of The Room is absolutely brilliant and I must recommend). While I feel The Room is a "better" game, "XON" is an actual puzzle game that requires understanding the environment and how to manipulate mechanisms within it. They are the only Myst-like game on cellphones that successfully captures the spirit of the genre. They cost a couple dollars each, but they are worth the money.

If you enjoy the exploration and discovery aspect of the game and want a game where you discover the story and objectives as you go, with much of the puzzles being in how to progress through the environment and with answers that may be hidden elsewhere, you may enjoy Outer Wilds. Note that there is basically nothing in the way of story in this game you are just on an island with many puzzles left for you to solve for the sake of enjoying the act of solving them. If you would like exploring a world solving largely self-contained puzzles, some of which rely on figuring out a symbol "language" and others of which require carefully observing the world and the environment or thinking outside of the box, I have to also highly recommend The Witness.
