I believe The Beatles: Rock Band came the closest to being perfect. Eveything about that game was just beautifully done and the only things missing was Pro Drums, an option for Keys, and a few more Beatle songs (Hey Jude, Strawberry Fields Forever, Yesterday etc. etc.)
I’ve really wanted to play HL but I get extremely motion sick. I’ve tried multiple configurations, HL2, Black Mesa, but I feel sick even thinking about them.
Other games that give me bad nausea: Slime Rancher, Stanley’s parable. I’ve forced myself to play them, I never get used to it and the nausea actually gets worse with time.
Games that don’t make me sick at all: portal 1&2, any Witcher, Horizon Zero Dawn, most VR games.
I though it’s the 1st person’s perspective but I can’t explain why portal games are ok and HL aren’t.
