What games/applications would you recommend that work well with just a headset tethered to a PC? (leminal.space)

I'm using a PSVR headset with iVRy but I haven't gotten controller tracking working. I'm wondering what games or applications I can use in the meantime while I work on this.

If I recall Trover Saves the Universe has what I'm looking for where you can use the headset and a typical game controller.

EmuVR has controller support. So does VorpX but I don't know if motion controls are needed for accessing menus and what not. I imagine Skybox would be fine.

I've tried searching Steam for controller friendly + VR but I am not sure how many games are coming up because they have a full VR mode that would require motion controllers. It seems like several driving and flight simulator games would work just fine in this configuration.

Star Wars: Squadrons and BallasticNG spring to mind. They will definitely make you get motion sickness though if you’re not fully acclimatised to VR.

Distance (arcade-y challenge runs in a car with jumping and flying ability) has VR and is played with a controller. It's a full game sequel of sort to the free game Nitronic Rush. I am not sure about motion sickness, I didn't get any on that game but I've got some training on other VR sims.

Tetris Effect is best played with a normal controller, with a D-pad. I mean it's Tetris, motion is useless, and what kind of monster plays Tetris with a stick?
