$60 for a 12 hour AAA experience. It's a great game with great visuals, but it's far from the most replayable game. I got this game from a deal where you get it free with a Valve Index hardware purchase, when I bought my Valve Index controllers. It also has been included in a few other bundle deals, like the Vive Cosmos Elite. Definitely look around for the best offer before buying this.

That said, it's a $60 purchase you won't regret. It's a must-have experience based solely on the visuals and the amount of interactables. The Index finger tracking grip is under-utilized to allow you to gradually crush soda cans, but at least it's used. The game has a lot of locomotion options, but teleport is unfortunately necessary to jump gaps and climb some ledges. The gunplay feels good despite the missing player body, and the only real nitpicky thing I have is the way the Alyx character is nice really shown at all aside from her hands and her voice. It would be nice to have some full body awareness going on here, but this game is more focused on being beginner-friendly than being immersive. The overall expierience is great as long as you don't mind the simplicity.

There are mods. I haven't touched mods yet. I plan to... someday.
