VR headsets aren't all created equally. We at GameSpot have tested out the newly released Half-Life: Alyx on the four biggest VR headsets: Valve Index, HTC Vive Pro, Oculus Rift, and Oculus Quest.From a top view, it's no surprise that the Index is the ideal platform to play Alyx on, considering they're both made by Valve.

Crowbars and Half-Life go hand in hand, so why wasn't there one in Half-Life: Alyx? Valve's Robin Walker says they tried, but a multitude of reasons kept it out of the final game. When it comes to mainline Half-Life games, the implied relationship between Gordon Freeman and his trusty crowbar has always been just as important as anything else going on. So how did such a versatile weapon get left out of Half-Life Alyx? Apparently, Valve actually tried to include the iconic tool in the game, but according to designer
