No - I have never tried it because it does take quite a bit know-how to get games up and running on Linux. If it was simpler to use, I think it would have a bigger number of gamers.
My choice would be Mirrors Edge - the graphical design along with the unique design of certain buildings is very distinct. The game itself was alright but the world was very distinctive.

VR is still in its infancy and has progressed much since its introduction in 2016. I'd be inclined to agree with you that VR is so overhyped. AR has been making some good progress but VR has been for the most part pretty stagnant and I can't see that changing anytime soon.
