Best Level Ever: While there are a couple contenders, 'Jeff' is the most mentioned in reviews, thanks to its interesting Survival Horror atmosphere and gameplay revolving around maneuvering past the eponymous unkillable enemy.

Technological accessibility was most likely a factor, with VR headsets for the PC platform being relatively expensive among other requirements.

Award Snub: Many were disappointed that the game wasn't nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2020, despite that Alyx won Best VR/AR Game during the show.

The ending finally resolves the infamous Tear Jerker of a cliffhanger from Episode Two by undoing it and changing the whole situation, restoring Eli to life while having the G-Man take Alyx, leaving Eli, Gordon, and D0G to saddle up and get her back.
