I remember trying VR, specifically The Lab, for the first time in late 2016 and thinking it was fun but a bit limited and gimmicky. Then last year I got a Quest 2 and was able to play things like Half-Life: Alyx and Phasmophobia and I've been completely sold on the whole thing. I just find VR to be so much more engaging, to the point where I'm replaying my favorite pancake games in VR (Subnautica, Outer Wilds). I could gush more but I think I'll stop here, haha.

Nice! The Lab is cool enough for mini-games, but as you say, a nicer experience like HL: Alix (I haven't played it) is required to actually engage on the whole concept.

I'm still betting more on AR games than VR, although that thin line between using a headset and having a secondary device like a phone is going to disappear in 3-5 years, I think.
