I only briefly played Lucky's Tale in VR. Basically it's like you're the camera person within the world. I wouldn't expect VR to ever replace the appeal of just standard TV and controller gaming, and yes, it's not something I'd spend a ton of time with. It's still a cool experience though. If I felt like I had the money to burn, I'd probably get one but the price is nuts. I'm assuming you pretty much need the bundle with the camera and move controllers.
