Super Mario 64
  • Few games have such a good learning curve. It’s rarely frustrating to die since it’s your own fault 99% of the time.
  • Prime example of “gameplay is king.” More games should drop their story entirely instead of having a garbage one.
  • It feels nice to have finally Finished this game. I probably played it for the first time around 5 or 6 years old. Lots of nostalgia in the first several levels.
Super Hot VR
A short (1.5-2 hours), but fun, VR experience. Not being able to teleport/slide within a small area takes a bit to get used to. Some of the encounters feel unfair, but the majority are well balanced.
The Final Hours Of Half-Life Alyx
  • Less of a video game, and more of an interactive book. Has pictures, videos, and a model viewer.
  • Some cool information contained within.
  • Doesn't take long to read. About 3 hours at a leisurely pace.
  • Not quite worth full price (10$), get it on sale.
Half-life Alyx
  • Easily the best VR game on the market. In contention for my favorite video game.
  • The difficulty progression is fantastic. Starts with Head Crabs, and then Zombies shortly after. Both get variants as the game progresses. Then the Combine are added. The Combine have 4(?) types of enemies to add variance to fights. Antlions have two versions and are super creepy.
  • Who’s the girl talking to the Combine?
  • The Jeff section is Mr. X in VR, yet maybe a little better.
  • Puzzles are fun and creative. They take advantage of the game’s VR mechanics.
  • Gravity gloves are dope! At times they’re a little awkward, but you get to shoot lightning later.
  • The sections in darkness are among the scariest in video games.
  • You’ll quickly realize that your fight or flight instincts kick in during combat. Have ammo and good position? Fight! Out of ammo and getting surrounded? Flight! The Antlions in particular freaked me out regularly.
  • The story is top notch. The ending in particular gets you thinking if you’ve played other Half-Life games.
