          This thread and the 'what are you playing' ones are some of my favorite on Tildes. I'm always finding new games to try, especially ones that are normally outside of my wheelhouse that I otherwise would completely miss.

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/546560/HalfLife_Alyx/

    Probably THE best VR game of all time? My only other vote is Beat Saber lol. Would recommend even if you haven't played Half Life before! (which.... I actually haven't lol)

      HL:A and Beat Saber are certainly must haves but Hotdogs, Horseshoes, and Hand Grenades and Superhot VR (Prior to the July 2021 update) make a perfect grab bag of VR experiences.

      I think Alyx will be the future of "What a VR story game should be" but it's also something you can only really experience once.

      I should also note, I paid full price on launch and loved it.

    Humble has a Summer Capcom Bundle:
    https://www.humblebundle.com/games/capcom-summer-2024

    $30 for everything, check the tiers for more. There's some good picks here, including a couple of Ace Attourney games! Make sure you know what you're buying and check if you have them from other bundles since a couple of them have been rebundled a bunch.

    https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36135791/sale/august-savings/

    Highlights include Titanfall 2 (even just for the incredible 6 hour campaign!), Burnout Paradise (remastered edition looks like it has mixed reviews, might wanna check the PC Gaming Wiki for potential fixes), and Mass Effect Legendary Edition!

    Tabletop Simulator is on sale on Humble. It's a pretty good game for remotely playing boardgames with friends. Also about 75% of the Magic: The Gathering I play is via Tabletop Sim.
