Half-Life: Alyx

Half-Life: Alyx is a VR first-person adventure set between Half-Life and Half-Life 2, built around physical interaction as much as shooting. You scavenge ammo, solve tactile environmental puzzles, use gravity gloves to pull objects toward you, and fight Combine soldiers and headcrab-infested threats in close quarters. Its pace is more deliberate than many flat-screen shooters, with exploration and tension doing a lot of the heavy lifting. It is best for players with a VR setup who want a polished, atmospheric campaign rather than a quick arcade blast.
