My favorite one so far has been Idols of Ash, however it's pretty short and more of a tech demo than anything else. Also, you're climbing down instead of up, but it works very well with the grapple hook mechanic. Really fun. It's also very cheap, currently on sale for like $2.50. I would love to see them add Workshop support so people can make custom maps.
White Knuckles is good too, but I feel like I'm getting carpal tunnel while playing it. It's fucking hard imo. The way the inventory works is a little jank, and the fact that you need to swap items in and out of your hands quickly has been really difficult for me. I might have to go back and give it another go though.
Cairn is a third person mountain climbing game that has some simple crafting mechanics as well. Cool game, also tough at times.
I got Peaks of Yore during the current sale, but haven't tried it out yet.
There are others that I can't think of right now, but I'll edit the comment to add them if I remember.
Edit: I forgot about Lorne's Lore! That was the first one I played, I think.
I just love games about exploring impossibly massive megastructures.
There's also Jusant, but I think Cairn is better in pretty much every way.
Jusant was really fun and relaxing.
If you like Jusant, check out Cairn. I feel like it did everything better.
I think I played the Cairn demo. I found it to be pretty clunky and complicated compared to Jusant but I guess I'll check it out one more time.
Cool, thanks! Idols of Ash looked very interesting but the short playtime gave me pause. Good call on the current sale, I'll take another gander
Yeah, I really hope the dev goes on to make a full game with the mechanics. Game gave me sweaty palms while playing, and something about the way the camera moves while you fall a long distance is very immersive. I don't want to spoil anything, but the game does a good job giving you a sense of dread and urgency.
I imagine its insane in VR.
