Not to mention the studio was acquired by Facebook and now enjoys its major marketing muscle. One originated from a tiny and relatively unknown indie team, while the other is made by one of the world’s most renowned game studios.īut Beat Saber’s low cost and simple-but-addictive gameplay has made it a breakout success in the VR space. There is, of course, a massive difference in scope between the games.
While it quickly became not just the best rated VR game on Steam-let alone one of the best rated games on Steam overall- Half-Life: Alyx had a large hill to climb to approach the number of Steam reviews of the indie VR blockbuster, Beat Saber, which has been available since the middle of 2018. If there was any question, it has now been answered- Half-Life: Alyx has cemented its “universal acclaim”, becoming both the best and most rated VR-only game on Steam, less than a year after release, after recently passing Beat Saber’s record review count.
