    Easily one of the best games i've ever played. Valve always succeeds in creating amazing experiences for their fans, and this one is just absolutely exceptional.

    One of the best games to ever exist. If anyone is giving this below an 8, their salty that it's a VR exclusive.

    An absolutely masterful work of art. This game feels like a game from the future, and it sets the standard for what video games should be moving forward -- VR or not. I cannot recommend this game enough. 10/10, masterpiece.

    Increible, Valve siempre innovando en todo y esta vez no ha sido la excepción, la immersividad, la ambientación, la diversidad de situaciones que se complementan unas con las otras y sobre todo la interactividad con el mundo, es una obra mestra

    Finally I had the opportunity to play with it.
    This is one of the best game, I have ever played. When you start the game you will touch everything, this is already insane, after that you start play, and you don't want to play with anything else. :D
    If you have the opportunity, play with it, you won't regret it

    El juego es simplemente absorbente, no hay palabras. Es altamente inmersivo, los escenarios son increíbles, los puzles interesantes, la ambientación del universo Half Life espectacular...
    Lo único que se echa en falta es la posibilidad de poder correr...

    Me he quedado con ganas de más. Espero una segunda parte o un Half Life 3 con la misma calidad que este. Y por supuesto, en VR.
    Y también, una versión no VR para que pueda llegar a más gente, aunque supongo que eso es mucho trabajo para los desarrolladores, y cambiaría totalmente el concepto del juego    … Expand

    This is great, keep calm and wait HL3, and G-Man=Lox, кароче ХЛ: Аликс получилось реально годной, концовка просто взорвала мне мозг, посмотрев концовку, я понял что Half-Life 3 будет, осталось терпение.

    Not just the best VR game on the market, but one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. It's difficult to live up to the hype after HL2 and its episodes, but Valve has managed to meet expectations.

    I had to come here and talk about the most insane battle I had with the combine.

    I was dipping, diving, sliding peaking up behind cover pop pop popping heads before crouch running to new cover to reload like I’m freaking James bond after a line of crack. This is one of the most intense, exhilarating, heart racing, immersive thing I have ever played and I'm living for every second it.

    I am also pretty new to VR so can get motion sick sometimes on continuous motion games however I don't get one bit of motion sickness running around in this game. Continuous motion is a must to play this.

    I believe this game is the best game on VR, period. It is nothing short of a masterpiece to watch the sky turn from day to night, to satisfyingly fling objects towards you with a flick of a wrist, to engage in fantastical gunfights and to navigate zen-infused ruins. From start to finish, this game was perfect. Critics like Forbes only base their reviews off of concurrent players and likelyI believe this game is the best game on VR, period.

    Only tip: Play this game on hard if you've played VR Shooters before to increase immersiveness.    … Expand

    Game looks awesome.
    Controls are awesome.
    Story is awesome.
    Optimization is awesome.

    It's not that average "VR game" it is truly something else.

    Best VR game to date, thank you Valve. 11/10 masterpiece.

    When Valve released Half life 2 they forced player
    Using steam or when Half life 1 released, PC gaming was not a thing. So lets hope in future VR will be cheaper for everyone.

    The equipment needed is expensive, but I assure you. it is so worth it. Half-Life: Alyx is exactly what I wanted from Valve, but definitely not what I expected. Depending on which motion style you choose, your game will vary in fun. DO NOT CHOOSE THE SHIFT MOVEMENT AT ALL COSTS. The graphics are phenomenal, and Valve has really outdone themselves this time.

    One of the best games, not just in VR, but of all platforms! This was one of the first VR games that made me forget I was just standing in a empty corner of my bedroom with a box strapped to my head! Absolutely amazing writing and gameplay that you just can't get with a keyboard and mouse or a controller!

    I love this game! It has a amazing combat system which is both fun and strategic. Plus the upgrades effect all of the combat from having sights to a grenade launcher.

    I have sunk hours into this game because you're always having such amazing time playing this game.

    One of the BEST VR games and best AAA video games released in these past years, I've played almost every single triple AAA game release from the past decade or so and this is one of the few that made me want to replay it right after finishing the game. One of the best looking and most interactive VR titles, a definite MUST PLAY for all vr owners and half life fans.

    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.
