Besides the obvious (Half Life:Alyx - Currently Playing) What have I missed that I MUST play?

Thanks everyone!

Due to me mostly playing VR games (=Alyx) when the kids are sleeping, I tried to play some pancake HL2 Episode 2 and I saw that you could enable VR in the start menu. For now I only have that game installed on my old Q6600 + GTX 680 office pc, but do you know if Episode 2 will work in normal SteamVR - like using the CV1 or Index? 
I was thinking that the VR support in Episode 2 could be some leftover from the early DK1-2 days... Also the textures aren't that good, not sure VR will make them greater, lol. And then there's the (lack of) Touch or Knuckles support - pretty sure you won't have any VR hands...

 I haven tried it yet but googled it and came up with this from reddit
 "You can still play Half Life 2 in Native VR Mode!

  1. Go to (SteamVR > Devices > Direct Mode) and uncheck it.

  2. Enable the Beta Version of Half Life 2

  3. Add "-vr" to the launch options

  4. Go to Half life 2 settings and enable VR mode.

It still works!

WARNING: EXTREMELY NAUSEATING FOR SOME PEOPLE

If you can't recheck Direct mode after, Edit the steamvrsettings ini in your steam directory. Set it to Direct Mode: True."
