    HALF-LIFE: ALYX is here to bring us the future of video games, and that has already been done in Half-Life 1 and 2.
    This game is very immersive and expands in the Half-Life universe.

    I'm looking forward to Half-Life 3!

    one fo the best vr games i have ever played, very well polished with nice pacing, there is a lack of melee combat but there is a reason for that which is explained after the game ends. generally one of the greatest experiences the vr can offer, and is the game that needed in order to give confidence to more devs to invest in vr games.

While most things are extremely intuitive, the game does miss out on some stuff I wish was there, such as the ability to hurt enemies with the garbage you find lying on the ground. As far as I can tell, all the garbage does is stagger them. But for every small insignificant gripe I can give it, there are 10 pros I can give it. The game has the usual valve music we've come to love, the wonderful world building and story crafting of half life (and all story based valve games for that matter), and fun and addicting gameplay. It is a far cry from any other game on the market currently. The only vr game that can come anywhere close is boneworks, and that's still not a super amazing game like alyx is. This game definetly deserves a 10/10… Expand

    Story was interesting with great banter between Alyx and Russel and very unique environments that I have not seen in any other VR title. The atmosphere is very well done in these environments and I was always checking my surroundings for loot.

    I would have liked it if there was more weapons and more combat scenes with more enemies. Currently you only ever fight 2-3 combine at once and I would have liked to have fought more. This led to the game feeling too easy on the hardest difficulty for me.

    Regardless I think this is a must own for VR users.    … Expand

Set pieces of this scale are almost never seen in VR and you appreciate them a lot more when you can really see them existing before you in the world. Sound design is also amazing and greatly increases the immersion. The writing is funny and smart and characters feel interesting and alive. Gameplay begins slow to ease new players into VR mechanics but by the end it throws more difficult puzzles and encounters at you. Enemy types are varied and fun and gun handeling and combat feels great. The game could just a super hard mode for veteran VR gamers but due to mod support this will come eventually. Overall they make great use of effects and mechanics and show why VR takes your gaming experience to the next level. I am really thankful for valve and their investment in VR. This really proves they still got it and that they still want to push technology forward.… Expand

    C'est clairement LE jeu VR qui exploite le mieux cette fonction : il y a un très grand souci du détail, beaucoup d'interactions, ce qui pousse en avant le réalisme. Tout ça dans cette ambiance, c'est juste ...wahou !
    Malheureusement, le jeu n'est pas localisé autrement qu'en anglais, ce qui me fait lui enlever un point (oui c'est important pour moi. Les pro-VO râleurs peuvent toujours mettre le jeu en VO, alors que moi je n'ai pas le choix).

    Très bon point concernant l'optimisation. Le rendu global du jeu est propre, les vues proches et les textures sont extrêmement détaillées (les vues lointaines un peu moins. Mais au regard des performances nécessaires c'est un moindre mal). Je suis sur une génération de carte graphique inférieure (GTX 1070) et le jeu tourne comme un charme, détail élevés.

One of the only companys that would push a medium that isnt widely adopted and making it a must buy. In a year where TLOU2 and Cyberpunk2077 will release, I can say without a doubt this will remain my GOTY.

    This game was simply amazing in every way. Even on a lower end VR headset that I played on (Samsung Odyssey HMD+) this game was stunning. The attention to detail in the graphics and the pure amount of interactivity are nothing short of spectacular. The way the gameplay is built around the grabbity gloves also is so intuitive and easy to use i had a blast anytime I had to use them (which is all the time)

    The story is suitably Half Life. HL oozes through every interaction of every character, level, voive and so on. The atmosphere is so enthralling that the game is hard to put down. Its so well done that its making me want to replay through HL 1 & 2 again just bc I am so sucked into the universe again. There are sections of the game that also go full horror and creep and its so much more immersive in VR.

    I played on the normal difficulty and found it a perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment. The game clocked in at around 13 hours for me which I found perfect. Any longer and I think it would have overstayed its welcome for a first time experience in VR.
    The gameplay CONSTANTLY throws new challenges at you. Every time youre just getting used to one mechanic, the game throws something new at you. it really keeps you on your toes.

    I could go on and on about the positives about the game. Its certainly not perfect though. While I'd say 95% of the game is extremely intuitive, there are definitely parts that you scratch your head as you figure out what to do next. The game barley gives any help at all and its up to you as an experienced gamer to figure out some of the puzzles yourself. Unless you are a total beginner at video games, you will eventually figure out what to do. But if youre a first time gamer and just jumping into this, good luck.

    Overall this game is a masterpiece in my eyes. To push the medium of VR to the next level and making this a reason to get VR is a serious accomplishment. I highly recommend this game to fans of the franchise and newcomers alike. The gameplay and atmosphere are too good to pass up.

    It's definitely 10/10. For a long time, I thought that Valve doesn't make HL3 as there is no way to make it revolutionary as HL2 and HL were at its time. But Valve found the way. They made it VR. It is the real HL, not just some fancy fake. I have a feeling that I am playing the old good HL but now I am inside. And yes, I am absolutely in love with the fact it's VR but not a normal game.

    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.

    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.
