For me it is opening credits sequence in Nier Automata, Shadowlord's castle in Nier Replicant and AI reveal in MGS2. All these three games are masterclass in storytelling.

the story reveals in Horizon: Zero Dawn. it's hard to say much of anything without spoilers, but that game had me absolutely riveted.

also HL: Alyx had some stunning moments. I haven't been much of a VR fan but that game is fantastic.

I need to figure out how spoilers work in Lemmy haha. hard to talk about.

I’ve yet to play Alyx, but I have a similar experience with most of VR gaming. It’s an interesting experience, but the controller UX gets really annoying very quickly, IMHO. I’ve had quite some fun playing Elite Dangerous until I got bored. The only VR game I play with some semi regularity is Beat Saber, especially when a good pack comes out…

Get Pistol Whip. The whole idea was to make hybrid between Beat Saber and SUPERHOT and it's so much more than the sum of its parts. And it's still getting updated. A new (free) expansion just dropped yesterday. And then there are the custom songs that are only just getting started...

Oh my god, that game looks indeed pretty awesome hahaha. Thanks for the recommendation.

I've been playing it daily for years now. Definitely my favourite VR game.

yeah my vr rig is just a dedicated beat saber machine these days.
