I'm playing Half Life 2: VR and it's insane (hexbear.net)

The mod's just very well done but it's amazing how well the base game translates to VR. Talk about standing the test of time when your 2004 video game can be modded into VR pretty much seamlessly and then blow Triple and Double-A games that are specifically made for VR out of the water

EDIT: Thinking about it, Half Life 2 and it's consequences have been insanely culturally influential in the greater sphere. I mean from Gmod Youtube-Poops over to SFM all the assets are still relevant now due to skibidi toilet, and they're nearing 20 years old now.

Kinda ironic how Alyx is the complete inverse of this with the desktop mod.

What's wrong with it? I haven't dug too much into it but from what I heard it was received quite well

The gunplay is serviceable, but afaik none of the puzzles could be translated into desktop play, so there are significant chunks of the game just kind of glossed over.
