I have played both and black mesa is so much better.

I played the VR games “I Expect You To Die” 1-3. They were the first VR games that actually hooked me and the intros are absolutely phenomenal. When I started with the first one and saw the intro I thought to myself that the intro went way too hard for a VR game. And the next two only went harder. The gameplay is very fun and engaging.

Then I played through Goodnight Universe in one evening. It was a beautiful experience. I even shed a few tears. Highly recommend.

Currently I am playing the Gothic Remake. It’s not very beginner friendly and I’m not sure if I like it yet.

I think it’s a game worth finishing. You couldn’t have been very far from the end anyways. I spent 17h on my playthrough.
