Mythlands: Dragon Flight VR is a short Dragon Riding experience made to test your durability.
The game features realistic gliding physics and your goal is guide your dragon through the boost rings to keep your momentum and stay in the air longer.
You can choose from 3 different levels and compete for the best rank in the Hall of Fame
The game might cause motion sickness and it takes some time to get used to. Not recommended if you are afraid of heights.
The game is developed and tested with Oculus Rift. Testers confirmed it runs on Valve Index and Vive as well.

Given the budget price, especially on release for less than $2 USD, this is an easy recommendation. Is it a great dragon flying experience? Of course not. However, it's a competent one, especially if you use a gamepad over trying to use motion controllers to control the dragon. There are 3 maps to choose from.
You do have somewhat realistic gliding physics. It can be challenging to control the dragon and fly through the hoops. You have to fly through the hoops to maintain momentum and fly longer. The longer you fly, the higher you'll go up those leaderboards for bragging rights.
Game is running on the Unreal Engine 4. On my RTX 3080, I was getting mostly 90 fps. There were no settings whatsoever. You can use motion controllers (as a gamepad), a gamepad (tested on Xbox One), or KBM.
I think I got my money's worth. It looks nice. I think the world could have used some more animations, such as trees swaying, the water running, and maybe some other signs of life. It is a very much static world. The music is nice enough. Again, this is budget priced. If you have low expectations, then this game may surpass those expectations.
Rate 6.5/10.

Crashed living breathing being into side of mountain. It sounded annoyed with me as it happened. 10/10
If you can't fly well immediately stick with it, you'll have a moment where it clicks and you can't even remember what you were doing wrong, then you'll remember... but eventually you'll get it.

Video of my first dip into the game:
This... is an odd one. There's nothing to dislike about this, what is there is actually rather well done (although, dev, please add some settings for music volume, and a nice way to exit the game, please?), except... there's not much there. This is where the price comes in. It's £2.09. Would I pay £2.09 for what I experienced in my first dip into this? Actually, yeah, yeah I would. Not everything I do in VR has to be a full game with complex gameplay and a story and stuff; some things are enjoyable just for them being an experience in VR.
This fits that bill.
But it's also kind of frustrating too because it feels like there's the core of a really neat game here. I don't know what the game is, I don't know what it would contain, but yikes would this be all shades of fun as a full game where you fly around on a dragon and do... stuff.
Even at a simple level: the control scheme is a frustrating letdown. Give me some arms, give me some reins to hold and pull on, let me really feel like I'm controlling the huge beast below me and this would be 100 times better. As it is you fly with the little joystick on your controller which is about as un-VR as you could get short of forcing you to use a game controller.
This has so much potential to be developed into something really fun. I hope that happens.
Do I recommend it? Actually yes, cautiously. If you don't mind paying the price of a coffee for a VR experience that'll last you as long as that coffee would, but likely no longer... yeah, go on, grab it and spend 30 minutes having some fun. If the price had been any more this would have been a big no.

Very fun, has a lot of potential, only wish there were VR controls

I honestly had low expectations, but was quickly surprised by how breathtaking this game is
