Positive: Still the best VR game ever made. Negative: Will ruin every other VR game for you. Nothing else comes close. If a majority of VR titles had come even near to this, VR would probably be much more of a force in gaming, as opposed to remaining to be a cool gimmick. Alyx does not feel like a gimmick at all. The attention to detail is absurd. Every key on the piano in the hotel works. That pretty much sums it up.

In VR, there are mediocre games, average games, good games, excellent games, and then there's Alyx, in its own league

Yes. The answer to the question - is it really THAT good that it justifies buying a VR headset JUST for that one game? Yes, it is. I`ve been pondering said question for years until I finally bought the Meta Quest 3 and Alyx. It is so unbelievably immersive. The graphics are beautiful. Once you get the hang of the controls it`s easy to move around. Also - regarding the end of the game - it is stunning, it gave me chills. And you know we rarely have that these days when it comes to games. My hardware: Intel i7- 7600k, 32 GB RAM, RTX 4060. I could play that on ultra settings. My advice: Connect your rig to the router via ethernet cable. It works with a good Wifi 6 dongle and a fast connection, but you want to buy "Virtual Desktop" on the meta quest shop so you will need a fast LAN-connection, too. Virtual Desktop makes running Alyx on the MQ3 more hassle free, really. I love this game. Buy it. Enjoy it. It is as ground breaking as HL and HL² were back then.

Funny how this set the bar for VR games over 5 years ago, and still no one has been able to surpass it.
