Finished my Lies of P and Half-Life: Alyx replays. Both were my personal GOTYs back on release, and they're still wonderful.
Next up is... I don't know. I've been dabbling. Let's see.
The Last Clockwinder is a VR game I've had my eye on for years. Finally pulled the trigger. It gave me child-like wonder. I was yelling and gasping in delight. Extremely charming game. It's a simple automation game where you clone yourself to accomplish tasks. The clones mimic your body position and hand movements done over a few second period. Then they repeat those actions over and over again. Think of a line of people passing a bucket of water from a well to a fire they're trying to put out. But you're all of the people.
It takes a lot of brain power to play, because I have to remember where I am in real-space and the VR space simultaneously. I need to regularly reorient my play-space boundaries so I can execute in real-space the choreography I plan in the game. This game would be an astounding experience if you had a giant empty room and a wireless headset. I have neither, so I have to play two different puzzle games concurrently. One is The Last Clockwinder and the other is Don't Entwine Yourself in Headset Cable and Fall Over.
It's very funny watching a clone of myself walk with trepidation, screaming with its body language, "I hope I'm not about to walk into a wall."
I'd say it has potential to make it in to my top 3 all-time VR favorites, but it's still early.
