    I did play Elite Dangerous with a Rift at a party for 5 minutes once

I had an opportunity to play this game for quite a few hours in VR. It was amazing :D. Despite the fact I get dizzy fairly easy it did not seem to trigger that response in me, so that's extra point in its favour. It offers great way to immerse yourself in the game while simultaneously not requiring you to basically make yourself a VR-room, so it seems like one of the perfect games for VR.

I keep my fingers crossed that along with this development, more people will add color-blind options though, especially for Oculus and the like. When you see things like on a lower left square on this picture some games end-up being quite literally unplayable for me.

Although I have to say that I started to see 'grains' on the VR display after a while and it got more and more annoying. Do you know what I'm talking about? It felt almost like a grid.

    I've never noticed any grains

Well, maybe that's on me and my wonky eyes ;). Either way, it was by no means troublesome. Elite Dangerous can get fast-paced enough to make you stop focusing on such banalities after all. Plus I was using a rather worn-out set that belongs to game-dev student group at my university, so maybe that could factor in with some artefacts. But, again, I'm not above agreeing that it could be entirely fault of my own eyes.
