Though the way the leaker describes it makes it sound more like a 3rd person MOBA than a hero shooter.

Alyx came out 4 years ago, and is recognized as one of the best VR titles of all time. It's a full 15 hour game, so not a tech demo. I'd say that's a hit.

Alex is a tech demo designed to sell headsets.

It also was unplayable for me made me sick and I can play things like super hot or beat saber for hours

Super Hot and Beat Saber don't cause motion sickness. If you have no idea about how the different kinds of VR movement affect nausea and haven't developed any VR legs, then that's absolutely on you. Especially given that Alyx remains accessible to people prone to motion sickness by giving you the option for teleport locomotion and snap turning instead. I know my limits and while I can use smooth locomotion, I still use snap turning. Don't blame the game if you don't know your limits and it's essentially your first VR game in which you don't stay in a single spot.
