I've about $50 in my steam wallet and I'm wondering what this community would think are must-haves. I'm currently eyeing Satisfactory and Potion Craft and am worried I'm missing out on any great deals.

Any have any VR recommendations?

I do some

  1. Half life alyx, 60% discount. More than the game itself I find the mods to be really impressive. Of course the main game is cool, and because it's a prequel you don't really need to have played previous hapf life titles.

  2. Into the radious, 40%. One of my favorite vr games. Its a survival, based on the stalker games. The game is slow, methodical, the weapons are satisfying, it forces you to think ypur approach and navigating the world with a map that doesn't show you where you are is really cool and immersive.

  3. Superhot vr, 60%. Although be warned that if I were you I would pirate it, the devs removed some suicide related scenes that were cool to play from the game, which you can still play if you were to download an older version. If you don't mind that, then by all means buy it, it is one of the best introductory vr games after all

  4. Walkabout minigolf, 50%. If you are getting a single game of what I recommend PLEASE BUY THIS ONE. It is one of the best games I played on vr, playing minigolf is so damn fun. You barely need space on your room and there is a big skill curve to learn the game, maybe I liked it this much because I had never played minigolf, but the game feels genius to me.

  5. In death, 50%. It is a game where you are an archer and you have to battle through procedurally generated levels, also you move by shooting specific arrows or a dagger you can throw, it is really an intense game.

If you have a steering wheel consider getting dirt rally 2 and Asseto Corsa (the original one)

It is a shame that beat saber (hands down the best and most addictive vr game out there) is not discounted.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice also has a VR edition that comes bundled with the game.
