Graphically impressive PCVR games at an arm's length

I'm new to VR, and I'm currently playing through many late-2010s PCVR games. With titles like Batman Arkham VR and Wolfenstein Cyberpilot, I've found that I'm impressed with visuals if the objects are at an arm's length, whereas objects in distance look too blurry for me.

I think that's a vergence–accommodation conflict at play, but I don't know the VR terminology well enough to state that. Maybe it's just my personal preference, or maybe that's my slightly weak left eye (-2.25 with astigmatism) which messes up my VR perception.

Either way, could you recommend some games which look nice, yet don't ask for the player to look at the distance?

Looking for Steam friends to clear Zoo Tycoon online achievements

I'd like to complete Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection, which has four multiplayer achievements. The problem is, it's a late Steam port of a unloved, Xbox One-specific black sheep of the series. Even people on /r/zootycoon forgot it existed...

There are four online achievements. Two of them would require no prior game progress from you. The other two require that you: a) build your zoo and move it online, and b) trade your animal to me. Of course I'd also trade one to you to help you out.

My first three 100% completed games on Steam. Bite-sized adventures are a gateway drug...

For the fourth one, I'm aiming for something less point'n'clicky. For now, I'm hooked on both Lego City Undercover and Zoo Tycoon 2013. Odd choices, I know; eight-gen console nostalgia is a doozy.

If you experience signal dropouts or connection problems, try moving the PC adapter around.

I had to share this because this used to annoy me so much. I was experiencing a lot of problems with PSVR2 on PC which bordered on signs of defective hardware. The headset was sending data to a PC, and SteamVR was rendering the VR environment, but the headset display showed a generic "remove headset" graphic. In some cases, video and audio signals to the headsets were glitchy, as if cables were broken.

These problems stopped when I moved the PC adapter to the side instead of slotting it between a receiver and an Apple TV. Who would have thought it was an RFI all along? Almost makes me want to disassemble and shield this thing which Sony spent pennies on, or put a ferrite bead on the PSVR2 cable for a good measure.

I own a PSVR2 headset and a fairly capable PC. I'm making a case for (or against) getting a base-model PS5. Are there any VR games which are available on PC but are better on PS5?

I'm ready for some compromises in raw visual fidelity in exchange for features not available on PC (HDR, haptics), more consistent foveated rendering (I have an AMD card so PimaxMagic4All won't work for me), or just more thought put into their VR modes (like in Resident Evil).

Or at least it used to: after some more queries, which generated similar results, it turned back to a normal AI Overview result.

The full quote is "you've successfully perverted the laws of God and man."
