Commercially available for general brain trauma rehabilitation - assuming that the patient has the abilities to play it (with or without assists like one handed, no fail etc) I think that Beat Sabre is a genius piece of software. Great hand/eye coordination, balance and reaction speed training.
Software like the one we made is a bit more specialized and tries to do more specific things and movements - great for institutional use, especially due to special accessibility features.

Ooh nice! What about for the impaired? I feel one-handed click and move type games might be highly beneficial too

We've seen patients with only one-armed mobility play Beat Sabre, and all our mini games (minus one) is made to be played both standing, sitting and with just one arm/side.
​
Point and click games can be a great tool for spacial awareness and memory perhaps? I don't know of any specific research on this particular form - but it sounds interesting.

I so want to try out your software now lol I'd happily play a beat saber style game sitting down 🤣

Turning on no-fail and enabling one-handed mode inside Beat Sabre has been rather well received among users in our experience. You still get to play and have fun - without having the experience ruined by things they cannot interact with.
