      I haven’t but of course I’m aware that VR gaming is a thing. My point is that VR has been touted as the “next big thing” for decades but still isn’t more than a curiosity for the average person. There is still no “killer app” in sight that might change that.

      Half Life Alyx for one of the coolest games I’ve ever played story and mechanics wise, things like Blade and Sorcery are hands down some of the most run I’ve ever had playing games.

      You want to feel cool? Jump from a ledge and land on a golem’s back, panic-drop your dagger, grab the hatchet at your belt and bash the golem’s crystal, rolling away from his tantrum. And that game doesn’t even HAVE a story (it does…but it doesn’t)

      That doesn’t even bring up any of the cute platformers I’m less keen on, or the various exercise-type games disguised as fighting (i love you, Rumble).

      I don’t play VR exclusively, hell it makes up less than a fifth of the time it spend on games as a whole, but damn if it isn’t the most engaging medium for me.
