VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it (www.pcgamer.com)

HL: Alyx is legit good.

It suffer quite a bit from being "baby's first VR game", it's extremely basic and completely lacking in any interesting mechanics. If it's your first VR game, it will feel amazing, if you already played other VR games it will feel like a serious downgrade in a lot of areas. Even compared to Half Life 2 it feels like a downgrade, as there is just much less to do in Alyx, less guns, no vehicles, more linear, smaller environments. It's a great looking game, but the mechanics are just extremely limited due to the focus on teleport.

I just can’t justify buying a whole rig just of r one game.
