I'm giving it 2 stars because I am an OG fanboi for the HL saga. For better or worse, this is a continuation of the story. I have only played this game for about 3 hours (at a friend's). I deducted 3 stars for it being VR-only. As much as I liked the game, it is nowhere near compelling enough to invest in sure-to-change VR tech. I'm in the camp with the others who won't be fooled into committing to VR anymore than I'm going to run out and buy an 8K television right now, no matter what movies release in that format. If they ever release as a normal PC game, then I'll happily fork over my money.
