In Verbis Virtus
TL;DR:
This game has great atmosphere with an immersive spellcasting system and nonlinear level design that also at times has really clever and hard to figure out puzzles!
Pros:
-
Fun and a really Great way of doing spellcasting that makes the game so much immersive!
-
Also if for some reason you’re having trouble casing some of the spells, make your own voice recognition model (it’s a feature implemented in the game, just go into the options menu).
This actually, for me at least, nullifies the ‘con’ I’d otherwise have since I found it a bit tricky to cast the ‘mark of fire’ spell.

In Verbis Virtus is a terrible game that you probably should not play, but not for half of the reasons I’ve seen in other negative reviews for which I’d like to clarify here.
Bad points that actually were not bad:
Like you, I was lured to this game by the voice command spells. I believe the people saying that this does not work do not have it configured well or do not have a mic. The store page warns you to have a mic, and outside of a very few moments in game I found the voice commands to work very well even when speaking quietly, and I have a voice that mumbles, so that piece impressed me.

Espire 1: VR Operative
Espire 1 is currently my favorite VR stealth game. It was rough at launch but the major issues related to glitchy and inconsistent guard behavior seem to have been ironed out with the first update. There’s already plenty of fun to have in the challenge missions and I’m looking forward to more being added to the game over time.
The performance of this game is very good overall as you would expect from something that was simultaneously developed for the Quest headset. While this means the environments are somewhat bare I prefer the approach because of the higher frame rate. I often see frame drops in other stealth games like Budget Cuts or Unknightly with an RTX 2060 but I can run most of Espire 1’s challenge missions at 144 FPS without a hitch.

SHORT VERSION:
It can be fun and there is a freedom in it that is not like other VR stealth games but the glitches and certain factors of the game kinda ruin it.
I am waiting till the updates fix it to play again.
If you don’t have it, follow it on news and pay attention to updates. Or wait for it to be discounted, at least then if you don’t like it you wouldn’t have paid the full price.
LONG VERSION:
Best attempt at a fun stealth game, but so far a little disappointing.
Not saying I didn’t have fun, but certain glitches and game design ruined fun playthroughs.
