Steam Sale 2024: These are the best deals

Ghosts of Tabor

Ghosts of Tabor is a realistic VR extraction shooter inspired by games like Escape from Tarkov. You explore vast post-apocalyptic maps, collect loot and fight against other players and AI opponents while trying to escape with your equipment. The game offers a bunker as a base for equipping and trading as well as a crafting system. In our hands-on test, Ghosts of Tabor turned out to be one of the best VR shooters I've played so far, with great controls and solid sound design.

Assetto Corsa

Assetto Corsa is a realistic racing game with an authentic driving experience that is particularly effective with force feedback steering wheels. It offers an extensive vehicle fleet with many licensed vehicles as well as numerous tracks and track variations. Although it is more of a racing game than a pure simulation, both experts and beginners will find many options to set the desired level of realism. With its motivating gameplay and vivid, immersive presentation, Assetto Corsa draws racing game fans into the virtual driver's seat time and time again.

Half-Life: Alyx

After a wait of around 13 years, Valve has finally delivered a new entry in the popular Half-Life series with Half-Life: Alyx, this time exclusively for VR. The first-person shooter is a prequel to Half-Life 2 and takes place between the events of Half-Life and Half-Life 2. You take on the role of Alyx Vance and fight against the Combine alien race. Half-Life: Alyx is one of the best VR games of all time and should not be missing from any VR library.
