    Half Life Alyx is more than proof that Valve still knows how to make godlike games.

    Do yourself a favor, it is worth to buy a VR headset just for this game (sell the headset later if no other VR game interest you)

    Dazu kann man nicht viel sagen... Wenn ihr eine VR Brille habt seid ihr quasi verpflichtet dieses Game zu kaufen. Bisher das beste VR Game überhaupt.

    One of the best VR games I have ever played. But look out for Jeff. He's a mean one.

    One of the best games I have ever played. If you have a VR headset get this asap. It goes 50% off on major steam sales.

    Gunplay, immersion, graphics, atmosphere, story. It's all here.

    Masterpiece. Most innovative game I've played in my life. It was also nice to return to HL universe after a decade.

    So much better than expected – a real Halflife game in every way and also THE best VR-game so far. Absolutely love it. Halflife 3 in VR? Yes, take my money!

    At the same time, it captures the essence of the amazing Half-Life Universe perfectly while also bringing some new aspects to it (like a speaking protagonist, new creatures and of course everything that comes with it being a VR-Game).

    The Story and especially world-building is (as always for Half-Life) almost perfect, even if in the first few chapters there is not much going on in our main storyline. This, like many other decisions like it, could however be seen as a strategic choice by Valve in order to slowly introduce Players to VR and even Half-Life itself (as it will be the case for many players since the last Half-LIfe is 13 years old).
    -------
    At the end of the day, this game is easily a 10/10 for me and probably in my top 5 games of all time so far.    … Expand

    Best vr game i have ever played. The story is great and the game is very detailed. You can clearly tell that the developers put a lot of time and effort into this game and truly cared.

    Trovo questo gioco il migliore uscito quest'anno e anche il più rivoluzionario. Proprio come il 2 cambiò la storia nel 2004 half Life alyx consacra la realtà virtuale quest' anno. Divertente, immersivo, vario, semplicemente un capolavoro. L'ennesimo di Valve. The last of us 2 orrido in confronto a questo. La trashata commerciale contro il rivoluzionario

    The best VR game ever. The storytelling and puzzles are out of this world. It's a lot of horror and the game gives me anxiety but I'm also living actually inside the world, fighting against the monsters and the combine. I have never gotten such experience in any other game.

    This game is Incredible. I bought Valve index just because of this masterpiece, Somehow Valve makes this game looks too good in VR. The game looks phenomenal that sometime i fogot it's a VR game lol, it even looks better than many flat games. The Audio and physics system are great too.

    Espetacular! Gráficos excelentes. Ótima jogabilidade. Uma boa história. Uma imersão e aparência de realidade absurda. Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei. Queria que fosse mais longo.

    This is one of the best VR games ive ever played, the horror part of the game can be way to scary depending on how scared you get playing games, if you are normally scared playing games i recommend you turn on developer commentary.

    Borrowed my friends VR to play this game since I'm a fan of Half-Life. Was skeptical about how it would play..WOW this game blew me away! If you have or can get your hands on a VR then this is a must play

    This game just don't get full score because I wanted to play it like a 'regular' shooter, no VR stuff. But God... the game is great! And G-Man is a hot grandpa!

    What a beautiful way to return in this legendary franchise! Such an immersive gameplay that couldn't be possible without VR. I'm happy they tried this option out, despite all the critics saying they ruined it with the VR stuff. Audiovisual masterpiece with heartwarming ending for a long time fan. That's a serious 10/10 from me! Can't wait to give it a another go wireless with Quest 3.

    Half-Life Alyx is proof that Valve is still at its best creatively. This emblematic franchise has been brought to virtual reality; in Alyx we enjoy an immersion never seen before, with comfortable and intuitive mechanics as well as excellent visuals and atmosphere that accompany this interesting adventure within the iconic saga.

    It’s a good thing that Valve didn’t add a digit to the title: from Half-Life 3 we expect nothing short of revolution, while Alyx is “merely” an amazing game. [Issue#245, p.50]

    A special mention should be made of the game's dialog, mainly consisting of Alyx herself and Russel, a scientist who Alex remains in constant communication with throughout the game. Their relationship feels genuine, the conversations between them are enjoyable, and almost all of the intended comedic moments land perfectly, which is something most video games seem to have trouble with.
