Come to think of it, I've only enjoyed 2 game series by Valve (ttrpg.network)

Portal and TF2.

Dota 2 is e-sports shite and most people who get sucked into it don't realize how much they're giving up before it's too late.

Same goes for Counter-strike, especially the newer ones. The older ones used to be a bit more fun.

Half life is a pretty mediocre shooter. Guns feel like wet-noodles, story and characters are bland. The series' real value is that it's a tech demo for Valve's game engine.

I'm just saying this because it feels like these games only get praise so people assume they're good without even playing them.

Everyone wants Valve to make more games, but looking at their track record it seems like they made the right choice by ducking out.

Whoever is responsible for the games I liked is probably long gone.

The standout thing about it is that all of the controls in the game are virtual and it's designed to be play with only VR controls.

Having arms on your chair makes it easy to grab the sticks without looking but the grab zones are very forgiving for the sticks).

There's a mech game that looks similar called Iron Rebellion but I haven't tried it yet.
