I think most gamers would have been perfectly happy with a trip to the Borealis just for the closure of the thing, even if the gameplay brought little to nothing new to the table other than some nice new visuals and arctic setpieces.

Instead we got Half Life: Alyx which was a stunning albeit niche experience in the same old City 17, which retconned Episode 2's cliffhanger with another, different cliffhanger. For fuck's sake, Gabe.

Only if you're rich enough to afford VR setup. Fuck me for being born in a third world country, right Gabe?

And are physically abled to play in VR.

I had a VR Headset (Vive Cosmos), but my eyes just aren't up scratch, so I could never enjoy it.
