Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today

I would lo to be able to justify buying a 1500€ vr set. But using it for one or two games does not make the threshold for me.

I hope they make more really good games so it become justifiable.

Here’s a list of VR games I’d 1000% recommend:

Half Life: Alyx

I Expect you to Die (James Bond themed virtual escape rooms - 3 games in the series so far, all of them are good)

Super Hot (slo-motion first person combat puzzle game)

Beat Saber (a unique rhythm game)

Pavlov (CS:GO but in VR with extensive modding support)

There are other good ones out there but that’s the list that justifies the headset to me.

Also there are some good VR ports of non-VR games out there such as Myst and The Talos Principle. Also there are some good Minecraft mods that add VR support (Java edition of course). Stay away from the Skyrim port though.

  the walking dead games
  
  Walkabout VR (putt-putt game)
  
  Dungeons of Eternity (quest exclusive)
  
  Any flight/racing sim (this is actually the biggest selling point I can make. Seriously if you like flight/racing sims, please get one. It’ll change your life)
  
  No Man’s Sky (one of my demo games)

What? Quest 2 is like $250 and it connects to your PC and works just fine for Alyx.

Dude, VR has been affordable for over half a decade now. Get with the times.

  The headsets have (if you can stomach Meta). Thanks to the combines efforts of Nvidia, scalpers, crypto-bros and AI-nerds, the hardware cost has been sailing into the distance and shows no sign of stopping.
