Half-Life: Alyx was considered VR's first "killer" game, but does it hold up almost 2 years later? JDR swaps headcrabs for a headset in today's Brutal Backlog review.
Some of the best VR experiences are in deep sci-fi settings, so here's the top picks for games in that genre available now.

In Steam's latest look at what's happening on its platform, it seems the most played VR games on Steam in 2025 are old ones.

TheGamer sat down with City 1, the talented devs behind Half-Life: Alyx NoVR, to find out more about their new indie FPS Chemical-Burn.
After all of the PS Studio games that released on Steam, I’m baffled Sony hasn’t gotten Alyx onto the PSVR2.
I'm not sure it was the first "killer" VR game, but it certainly felt like a big step forward in many regards.
The fact that it's such a cherished IP got it noticed, but it's gone on to get much warranted acclaim and is definitely up there with the best VR games imo.
If valve brings this out on playstation for psvr2 then ill be all over it like white on rice!!
