On Nintendo Switch, the highest rated title is Animal Crossing: New Horizons with a score of 91.

After that is Dreams with 89, which we also know is receiving VR support at some point in the (near?) future. For comparison, the highest rated PlayStation 4 game on the list is Persona 5 Royal with a score of 95. Console games, such as those on the PS4 or Nintendo Switch, have their own separate list. The only other VR game to get close to Alyx’s score on the PC list is The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, which sits at 9th on the list with a score of 81. With the fate of scheduled game releases now uncertain, who knows what competition Alyx might face throughout the rest of the year.

Delete the HL.DAT file (this is a checksum file and will be automatically re-generated by Half-Life). Execute the HL1.1.0.4USENGNOINTRO.EXE Patch to remove the Intro from: HL.EXE. Extract the File Archive to the game directory. However, many movies, TV shows and video games are being delayed and impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. Apply the official Half-Life v1.1.0.4 Update. That being said, it is only March but games like Doom: Eternal are providing stiff competition. With this in mind, it’s impressive that Alyx has hit the top of the Metacritic charts for the year so far. The game has an average score of 93, which is higher than any other PC game released this year so far, including traditional non-VR games.Īlthough you could argue that VR titles are a whole different category of game, Metacritic counts them as PC entries and so they compete with any other PC release in a given year. One week after release, Half-Life: Alyx currently sits at number one on Metacritic’s list of Best PC Video Games for 2020.
