If you actually want a viable discussion on this game, you're better off posting this into a virtual reality community as the comments there won't devolve into salty sour grapes that they couldn't / wouldn't play it since "vR iS uh GImAuCk"

Oh, sod off with those posts allready.
I know perfectly well that I'm old, even without those "Hei, didyo know that yu are closer to WW3 than The first single of the Brian Eno"
While I really enjoyed Alyx, it's very much a game built around it's own limitations. It's more of a survival horror game in a way, because of the limits on ammo and deliberately mechanical reloading. There's no melee at all, so once you're out of bullets you're done for.
For all the roughness of Half Life 2 VR Mod, I find myself enjoying it more because it has fewer limitations imposed by the move to VR. It doesn't always work (and the vehicle sections in particular really push it), but as a mod of a 20 year old game, it's really good.
And, lets review where we are: Valve is supposedly making a new Half-Life that will reportedly be both flat and VR.
Hands down the best game I ever played. The immersion is unreal and the ending left me with goosebumps and a dropped jaw.
Well, I got it with my Valve Index but have not played it yet. I feel bad. Just flying around in MSFS 2020 lol
