Song in the Smoke offers something no VR game has truly given me to date -- a survival crafting experience with a story to squeeze your heart and titillating game play that chaulk up to a phenomal VR experience.

Future playthroughs on higher difficulties may introduce more mechanics that I have not yet seen, either way, I'm aching to get back in and try a harder difficulty; perhaps even unlock those pesky hidden achievements.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
7 of 44 sampled reviews raised it
Song in the Smoke seems like a polished, immersive, lengthy & replayable (from everything I've heard), interesting adventure survival story game made for VR.
Graphics

7 of 44 sampled reviews raised it
Really got a Breath of the Wild vibe from the graphics which isn't a bad thing.
