Half-Life Alyx, because they made me wait a lifetime for another HL game and it's a VR game. I'm sure it's the best VR game money can buy, but playing it as intended would cost me a fortune and all I'd get out of it is motion-sickness-induced projectile vomiting.
So you haven’t even played it?
Lot's of people can't play VR, including me. I'm not going to force my way through feeling like shit day after day to enjoy something.
Just some food for thought. VR gets easier over time when you "train yourself" on it. Start small with not very dynamic games, gradually move yourself up, your body will adapt. Second, I believe there's a non VR modded version out there.
A lot of people get motion sick from VR
I previously commented about Dragon Age and Borderlands but screw that. THIS is the answer I'm going with. Half-Life: Alyx.
I played it under best possible conditions - with a Valve Index, in a full room VR - and absolutely hated it. Cumbersome, slow, and survival horror instead of running around killing stuff feeling like a badass. It doesn't feel like a Half-Life game at all. HL1, HL1:BS, HL1:OF, HL2, HL2:E1, HL2:E2, HL2:LC, Black mesa all were same and all were fun. HL:A? Not so much.
