The first days are indeed really short. You have to upgrade your tools and your player to have days long enough to explore. It is still a limiting factor for big explorations. You have to pack your stuff. I can understand that it can be unfun.
I played Quake 2 on the Oculus Quest and it was the best VR experience I had. The port is perfect. It’s like the dream of my younger self since it was my favourite game then.
