>Manual reloading does add an element of complexity, but it's a minor one that doesn't do anything for the rest of the game as a whole
I gotta say reaching into my backpack to pull out shotgun shells, flipping open my top-loader shotgun, putting the shells in, closing it and cocking the bolt for the first time in Half Life Alyx is pretty fucking satisfying. Less so when there's three headcrab zombies in front of me, but those little details make VR an extra cool experience.

Also, in the same vein, I still love taking my healing syringe out of my wrist pouch, stabbing myself in the chest with it and pushing the plunger with my thumb to heal, that literally never gets old.
