Yes it is not Half-life 3. But the fact that Half-life: Alyx even existence is truly a blessing and is a wonderful addition to the Half life franchise. Set five years after the events of Half-life 2, you control Alyx, which has the task of taking a superweapon belonging to an alien empire.

When I was a little girl, I always wanted to drive an X-Wing. I thought it was so cool to soar through space and blow Tie Fighters out of the air. So when EA announced it Star Wars: Squadrons Had VR support, I knew I would finally be able to fulfill my childhood dream.
This is a very difficult game, and you do not need a VR headset to play. But it is also a very rewarding game that completely immersed me when I attached a virtual reality headset.

When I grew up on the eastern shores of Maryland, it was (and is) a very popular activity in the summer. There is something wonderful about throwing your line with a cool drink in hand while you are on the water, and the challenge and patience of rolling in a fish. Now that it’s winter, I needed something to fill the void until the warmer season returns, and Real VR fishing do not disappoint.
Void Racer: Extreme
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22173316/Screenshot__107_.png?w=560&ssl=1)
Void Racer: Extreme is a science racing game that gives me the same adrenaline rush that I get from games like Obliteration or Sprint Vector and combine it with an aesthetic as seen in the film Tron. If you are looking for a fast paced racing game and love sci-fi vibes, this is the game for you.
Dreams

Of course, no real PS5 games have been released yet, but the PlayStation VR still has a solid library of PS4 titles for you to view, including Media Molecule’s title for creating 2020 games in 2020. Dreams. It’s not a video game in the traditional sense – it’s a game about creating games. Dreams strongly encourages players to apply their creative side, and you will be amazed at what type of user-generated content you can create.
Rez Infinite

Rez Infinite is a techno-fueled shooter with sublime and trippy graphics that is truly a breathtaking experience. It is released on virtually every virtual reality headset, making it very accessible to play.
Klop Saber

Although Klop Saber originally released in 2019, it is still one of the best VR games and it is one that every VR headset owner should experience. A rhythm game where you use light saber-like drumsticks to cut through musical beats? You can not beat it. The game has also expanded to a number of content packs, which include original songs and some licensed songs from bands like Linkin Park and BTS.
VR shoots around

Among the many things I missed this year due to the pandemic is sports. The ability to go to a basketball court and shoot some rings. After a few questions I heard of a very decent title for VR simulations VR shoots around, and it did not disappoint. Oh, and did I mention that this game is only $ 5?
Trover saves the universe
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22173346/PopUp_01_PC.png?w=560&ssl=1)
Like some games on this list, Trover saves the universe was not released in 2020 (although it was released for the Oculus Quest this year). This game was developed by Squanch Games and is one of the nicer titles available on VR headsets. And if you are a fan of Rick and Morty, you will surely get a chance from this game – it was actually created by Justin Roiland, one of the co – creators of the series.
Pixel Ripped 1995

Like its predecessor, Pixel print 1995 is a kind of love letter for the decade in which it takes place: the ’90s. This is a sequel to Pixel Ripped 1989 and will make anyone who grew up during the 16-bit or 32-bit era of gaming feel nostalgic.
