HL Alyx
Release Date: March 23, 2020
Another part of the Half-Life shooter series. This time we are dealing with a title dedicated to the VR sets, in which we control Alyx Vance, heroine known from the Half-Life 2. The production was developed by Valve Software.
Half-Life: Alyx is the next installment in the famous FPS series, whose roots go back to 1998. The game focuses on Alyx Vance, who first appeared in Left 4 Dead series) is responsible for the development of this work.
Half-Life: Alyx takes place between the first and second part of the Half-Life series. We take on the role of the title character, Alyx Vance, who together with her father conducts research on the weakness of the Combine - a powerful group of aliens controlling the Earth since the Black Mesa incident - trying to give humanity a chance to defeat the occupants.
Half-Life: Alyx is a first-person shooter. The game consists of exploring the locations, fighting opponents and solving various puzzles, which most often require interaction with the elements of the environment. Gradually, we also learn more about the plot.
The title was prepared with VR technology in mind. We control the camera by moving our head and use objects with handheld controllers (some types of VR goggles also finger tracking, which means that our hand movements are reliably transferred to the virtual world.
When shooting, we use held controllers or even the whole body - for example, we can lean out of the corners or avoid objects or projectiles. We also have to manually reload the weapon (in some cases, having picked up scattered bullets).
The game offers complex tools that enable us to modify various elements of the environment, and even create completely new things. We can share the results of our work with the Steam community.
Half-Life: Alyx can only be played solo. The mainstay of the game is the story campaign.
Half-Life: Alyx features three-dimensional visual that represents a very high level of execution, compared to other VR games. In of atmosphere, the title strongly resembles what we know from the iconic Half-Life 2. Valve Software's game works with all helmets compatible with Steam: Valve Index, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Windows Mixed Reality and Oculus Quest (with Link cable).

Half-Life Alyx Review – the Best Game You'll Never Play

Game is Recomended by 100% of Critics. There are 77 Critic Reviews.
TheGamer: 4.5 / 5 by Eric Switzer
Alyx doesn't propel VR to unseen heights, nor does it overcome the limitations of the platform. What it does is provide an exceptional name-brand experience that is extraordinarily polished and just about the best example of what VR has to offer right now. Every puzzle is satisfying, every gunfight is a thrill. The environments are beautifully horrifying and the interactables are absurdly detailed. It has no lulls, nothing ever gets played out or boring. It has a ton of fan service and builds some really exciting hype for the future of the series. However, I wish that the game built its core mechanics over time the way Portal 2 so famously did. Alyx is much more akin to a rollercoaster ride than a hill to climb. If you can afford the price of ission though, it's one wild ride.
Eurogamer: by Christian Donlan
City 17 provides the setting for a VR adventure filled with brilliant detailing.
DualShockers: 10 / 10 by Ryan Meitzler
Through the lens of VR, Half-Life: Alyx is an amazing experience that blends action and storytelling with a profound level of immersion.
