To be fair Alyx is really fantastic looking I just can't afford a headset and I don't want to give Facebook my buck. Valve has always tried to do things that are next gen with every major game release. I have a friend who plays Half-Life Alyx and it is fun and he has fun playing it, but I'm not about to spend a thousand dollars on a headset.

I played it on my Windows MR headset. They can be found for cheap and their experience is better than the Oculus Quest (higher refresh rate, no artifacting) and about the same as the Oculus Rift S.

Alyx really is fantastic looking. Unfortunately, that's all that is fantastic about it.

Like I said, my friend loves it, and the gameplay style is a little different from what I'd expect, but it looks fun nonetheless.
