Already have it, but wanted to add to this thread that I feel this is hands down the best PC VR game IMO.
I've actually held off playing it all the way through because I wanted to wait for a better VR headset, something higher resolution and OLED (for those true blacks!)
So now I'm waiting for the Pimax Crystal Super to be released. That and the bhaptics haptic vest and sleeves and I'm in! Smilie)))

I've been planning to buy a used Quest basically just to play this (linked to a pc) and then sell.

But for whatever reason both Quests I have bought on eBay showed to SNAD. One was just a pawn shop that sent the wrong headset (and wouldn't offer a sufficient discount for me to keep it). The second one was disgusting. Dirty and very stinky despite being described as lightly used. Seller was clearly a moron…tried to fight the return, called me an idiot and other insults, and then begged me to keep it for a $20 refund because he really needed the money…

Something about these things seems to attract deadbeat sellers.

Quote from DragonflyPunch :
I'm tempted to buy it. But wondering if it's scary. I don't play horror games at all. And any horror in VR is bound to be worse. Those of you who have played it, would you categorize it as an action game or an horror game?
It's an action game. There's one or two memorably creepy parts. But the experience is honestly so bizarre you will forget to be afraid. This is in my opinion, one of the best video game experiences ever created since the advent of moving pictures being projected from a box. Just so happens you need a box strapped to your face. It IS Half-Life 3, they just couldn't brand it as such due to the barrier of VR hardware being required.

If you have a comparable PC with supporting hardware, you can find Rift S on eBay or at local marketplaces for very low prices.

Trust me, you won't regret it.

Absolutely agreed. There's also a mod to play it on flat screen but to not experience it in VR is heartbreaking. I played it originally on a Vive. Replaying it on Quest 3 wow'd me all over again, and so much more. Truly a magnificent game/experience.

what is your VR setup?
I first played on a Oculus Rift CV1 but replayed with mods with the quest 3 streaming from my PC. My pc is a Ryzen 5800x3d and a RTX 3080 FE

It's been two years since I played this game on my Oculus, it's absolutely true that that this game is so good it ruins everything else on that platform.. haven't touched my headset since 😞
And this is why I still haven't played it. I can't justify the cost of a VR set (never mind a rig that will play it) just to play one title, no matter how badly I want to.

I'm still going to try to use my Quest3 over link to a M4 mac mini running Win11. I kinda think I've got too many flaming hoops to jump through but I'll buy it anyway.

Even at full price + the price of a full-price VR headset, this game is worth every penny... It would be amazing if I could experience it again for the first time.

You just need a Quest 2 (or 3, or 3s) and a PC. Don't need a full PCVR setup because you can play it with Virtual Desktop for the Quest.

If you just got into VR, DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME! By all means buy it now, but WAIT to play it. Play stuff like Drop Dead Dual Strike, Arizona Sunshine, Saints and Sinners, etc etc.

HL:A is hands down THE BEST virtual reality game in existiance. The gap between Alyx and the 2nd best game is as large as the gap between the 2nd best VR game and the 1,000th best VR game. To the point where it almost ruined VR for me because everything else felt cheap and boring. I went from playing VR games several hours a week to maybe a few hours a month after I beat Alyx. It's that good.
