"You know perfectly well that Valve wasn’t going to

make a flagship VR title using its beloved Half-Life
franchise and do a half-arsed job. A stunningly rich
experience from start to finish, Half-Life: Alyx is one of
the best VR titles available, a perfect showcase for
what VR gaming is capable of. It doesn’t exactly break
new ground, instead providing familiar Half-Life
gameplay all wrapped up in a highly polished VR gift
bag. Let’s just hope this is the start of things to come
and Valve decides to make another Half-Life: Alyx." ...

"Although it doesn´t perfect every single thing it does,

the experience as a whole cannot be called anything
short of a masterpiece." ... Read full review

"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." ... Read full review

"This is a triumph in almost every way. This is the most

detailed, deepest and most elaborate VR game yet. No
other VR game has so much variety and depth at the
same time, combined with such a perfect tempo. " ...

"What the game asks of you might be fairly standard

shooter stuff, but the act of playing it out with your own
hands lends it a fresh magic. That's Alyx in a nutshell:
this is a Half-Life game almost to a fault, the old
formula polished to a 2020 shine, made new again by
the way you manipulate it. The Gloves aren't the new
crowbar or Gravity Gun, the defining tool of Half-Life:
Alyx. Your own hands are. [Issue#344, p.102]"

"Too often Half-Life: Alyx feels like baby's first VR

shooter and for many — especially those who
purchased VR hardware to play it — this isn't a
dealbreaker. But trading off the Half-Life name for an
introductory course to VR relegates HL: Alyx to spin-off
territory when the characters involved and the story it
tells could be so much more. Alyx Vance deserves
better, and so too do VR gamers." ... Read full review

This is probably the best vr game there is. Amazing

graphics, great story. Valve did it again and delivered the
best of them.
