I know exactly what you mean by that nausea. I've tried this game recently and I swear, this is the only game that makes me feel the same way for some reason. There's over 1000s of hours recorded on my steam VR and I've played many games, but none come this close. Strange...

But I do like the fact that you can create your own character and buy more later on. Otherwise, I still like pavlov a little more.
And I agree, Alyx is far superior to those, but I seriously wish valve implemented a multiplayer mode for that game. Doesn't have to be some kind of co-op of the main story, but at least some survival stuff, you know, turn/wave based for example or maybe tower defense hybrid-like. That would be nova!
