About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Half-Life Complete BUNDLE
Half-Life: Alyx
Notice: Requires a virtual reality headset. See system requirements for more information.
Half-Life: Alyx is Valve’s VR return to the Half-Life series. It’s the story of an impossible fight against a vicious alien race known as the Combine, set between the events of Half-Life and Half-Life 2. Playing as Alyx Vance, you are humanity’s only chance for survival.
Review:
The Combine’s control of the planet since the Black Mesa incident has only strengthened as they corral the remaining population in cities. Among them are some of Earth’s greatest scientists: you and your father, Dr. Eli Vance.
As founders of a fledgling resistance, you’ve continued your clandestine scientific activity—performing critical research, and building invaluable tools for the few humans brave enough to defy the Combine.
Every day, you learn more about your enemy, and every day you work toward finding a weakness.
ABOUT GAMEPLAY IN VR:
Valve’s return to the Half-Life universe that started it all was built from the ground up for virtual reality. VR was built to enable the gameplay that sits at the heart of Half-Life.
Immerse yourself in deep environmental interactions, puzzle solving, world exploration, and visceral combat.
Lean to aim around a broken wall and under a Barnacle to make an impossible shot. Rummage through shelves to find a healing syringe and some shotgun shells. Manipulate tools to hack alien interfaces. Toss a bottle through a window to distract an enemy. Rip a Headcrab off your face and throw it out the window.
COMMUNITY-BUILT ENVIRONMENTS
A set of Source 2 tools for building new levels is included with the game, enabling any player to build and contribute new environments for the community to enjoy through Half-Life: Alyx's Steam Workshop. Hammer, Valve’s level authoring tool, has been updated with all of the game's virtual reality gameplay tools and components.

sorted byThe reviews suggest it's surprisingly good and up there with Alyx, which is pretty surprising.
On my 'to-play' list!
….. also there is a raytraced version of HL which is a must for anyone wanting to relive the original in all nice lighting glory! Available on GitHub
I love VR, but this is the reason it's never going to go mainstream - this shouldn't still be holding the fort...
Those lucky few not in that boat should dive on it
played resident evil seven biohazard last week and was blown away
I Almost purchased this last week at £50 so glad I waited
thats my game sorted for tomorrow

Heat added.
In some ways I say don't get this, it's too good. At least finish your backlog first.
Talk about the mods like gun contracts and others, this is out there at the top of VR titles even after years of release.
Must must get for PCVR capable systems.
now i want one. maybe this summer- my tiny garden and a wireless set up in the summer heat sounds like a cool idea as suggested above
