2020 is the year of VR!
No actually. The percentage of players with a VR headset on Steam more than doubled this year already.

The Oculus Rift S and Oculus Quest are sold out in most places since the end of last year and you have to wait months for your Valve Index order. Some of that is also because of Corona related production issues.
Half_Life Alyx is definitely a system seller for VR, it's the first real cross platform AAA VR title (the others were Oculus exclusive) with a Single player campaign that is as long as you would expect from a modern shooter if not longer (longer than a CoD campaign) and now even with Workshop support.
But the best VR game for me is still Boneworks.
In Boneworks the player, the enemies, the weapons and the objects in the environment are physical objects. You can grab enemies or kill them by hitting them with your rifle if you want to.
You don't hit enemies with just waving our arm through the air. Weapons have weight and collide with the enemies. You have to use both hands to use a heavy weapon or it's uncontrollable and you sword gets stuck in the enemy and you have to pull it back out.
The fact that your body is a physical object too has some interesting effects not only can you push yourself up using your hands you can also hold the headcrab enemies and smash them against your head (be careful not to hit your headset in real life) or against each other to kill them. It is so satisfying to catch them when they jump on you mid air with your knife.
Also there is a slow motion button that you can press anytime to do cool action movie things.
The single player is shorter than Alyx but has way higher replayability, hidden rooms, short cuts, alternative solutions for puzzles or just climbing places you though were unreachable but I still wish it had more content or workshop support.
Also the enemies are less interesting than the Alyx ones.
