How Half-Life: Alyx Creates Perfect Pacing 

I would second this. While it looks slow paced in the video, it's a lot more engaging in VR since you have more of your senses involved. Also if you make it too wild and energetic there is a risk of you forgetting your physical position and hitting something with your controller, unless you have a big dedicated space for it. I keep the virtual line border on at all times since I only just have enough room, to avoid punching the wall (or worse) while playing minigolf. I have an original Vive but a big enough game backlog and not quite the funds to splash out on new games like HLA, I mostly play VR chat atm.
