Comment on Does anyone else feel like game recommendation engines are completely useless if you play older games?

Thanks, very thoughtful reply!

Agreed, VR is pretty awesome and owning a Pico 4 i can confirm its a pretty good headset on the budget side. With a bit of criminal energy even most of the quest exclusives like RE4 VR work on the Pico. With WiVRn it works even on Linux for PCVR which is pretty awesome. But atm i use it mostly for watching movies. I’m playing VR since 2019 and kinda seen almost every wortwhile game. Especially PCVR is imho in a pretty sad state nowadays when it comes to new titles. Meta bankrolled a few exclusive bangers in the last few years but even that seems to have come to an end sadly.

Last fall/winter i had a pretty good run with https://retroachievements.org/ and played through 6-8 classics. Titles are pretty well tagged so its easy to find something which speaks to you and they can be added to your “want to play” list. Never was a big fan of achievements but for this retro stuff it gave me the sometimes needed additional carrot on a stick. What helped me is to order the games to average completion times(not mastering times) and find games which take 5-10 hours. Having bit sized experiences felt less like a big commitment.
