Finally got around to trying bean stalker. It's some good ludo. Climbing is satisfying mechanically in VR and it sidesteps the disappointment of primarily stick locomotion in other games. The VR adaptations to inventory stacks and slots and crafting is also well done. Would definitely like to try the coop multiplayer at some point.

Some initial complaints though (that maybe are solved by stuff after the literal first level of the tree): the extraction point required me to climb like 50 meters back down the main stalk, which is annoying compared to climbing up. Made me wish for some sort of abseiling system. Generally having some sort of way to like clip in to bolts instead of free climbing would be nice too so you could hang around and if you fall, you're not dead but just hanging. Arguably removes some of the danger, but since you can already just stand on horizontal parts of the stalk, and it'd be less ambiguous where it's safe to stand vs clipping in.

Also while minor it reminds me how much more satisfying alyx grabby gloves are compared to the force grab in beanstalker and boneworks for picking up stuff, Functionally the same of course, but aiming a laser is boring.
