I just keep getting annoyed when I see an interesting looking game and find that it's VR-only.

    Honestly even the very best VR-only games are only interesting because they are in VR.

    Half-Life: Alyx is IMO still the best of those and it can be played outside of VR thanks to mods... But in that case it's a curiosity, not an actual good traditional game.

    HLA in VR is incredible though and I wish there were more games like it.

    Alyx absolutely broke that mould for me. it started off good but built up to incredible as it progressed. I just wish more developers would do similarly. But then this article is the reason why they don't
