A few notes for people who might consider buying this:

1. It's amazing in VR. So natural to play it's... just is.
2. There's a no-VR patch and it's getting better and better all the time. Didn't try it, based on 2nd hand.
3. F-Jeff.

If you don't have a VR yet and consider buying it "for the future", be aware that Half-Life: Alyx is included in the Valve Index VR Kit
