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. 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.

    Pro tip: Play your other VR games first because once you play this, all other VR titles feel underwhelming
    johnboylan12's avatar
    Or you can think of it as playing it last so you can live under the illusion that there is something better on the horizon as you play the most indie of indie junk that all VR games are.

    What VR headset you recommend for this?
    xxxman123's avatar
    Quest 2 is good enough but if you can get Quest 3 get that, the lenses have better clarity and the wider fov are worth it.

    Lenovo slim 5 with 4070 be enough to run this smoothly?
    red_me765's avatar
    4070 will run it fine, it runs on my 1060 just great with a 10700k..

    I love this game! I tried to throw a grenade, hit the lampshade, dropped said grenade at my feet and full-body dove sideways into my standing mirror.
    10/10!

    Outstanding game, completely ruined VR for me as nothing ive played since has come close to matching this games sheer spectacle and production level. Hopefully wont take another 13 years for another sequel.

    I just don't understand how a team can make such an incredible game like this and then it's a one off, as much as I like a number of VR games there's nothing like Alyx.

    I'll never forget Jeff level (edited)

    I had to skip the Jeff level.

    Genuinely too scary and I'm a proper grown-up man and all that.

    I wish I could erase this game from my brain and do it all over again from scratch. It's an incredible experience and it's a shame it looks increasingly like it will never be topped.

    Never played it, waiting to get the steam index. Was hoping it would drop or have a sale, but in the last 2 years of watching it, nothing….

    Play this on pico 4 awesome.

    How much is this normally. Not ready to play yet, but if this is a good price I may as well get it now and save for later. 
    greamec's avatar
    Think this as cheap as it gets
  12. DazLFC's avatar
    Is it playable without VR?
    greamec's avatar
    No
  13. deathstar007's avatar
    One of the best, if not THE best, vr game you can play. Great price, well worth it (edited)
  14. mango.carrot's avatar
    Tempted to buy this in the hope that PSVR2 will work with it eventually. I think this is usually £50?
    duncanhh's avatar
    Sony have announced that the PSVR 2 will be compatible this year with PC.

    Meta quest when?
    hamsterboy's avatar
    Now if you have an appropriate laptop / desktop. SteamVR app.
  16. duncanhh's avatar
    I’ve only got a ps5 but played this on a mates pc. Bloody amazing game. Well worth the money
  17. shutupman's avatar
    This is a bargain. Cheapest it's ever been I think. Make sure you have a decent graphics card, hook up your Quest 3 and you're playing one of the best games ever.
  18. nicholson101's avatar
    Played this through several times now and doesn't get old or stale in any way. like others have said it will ruin you general VR enjoyment of of other titles as they don't come even close to this. Very much the gold standard of VR.

    Once you've exhausted the main game there are endless possibilities for modded standalone campaign games which are free to install via the Steam workshop. Different stories but the same high quality assets and graphics/gameplay. See Here: Best Half Life: Alyx Mods 2023 | 6 Best mods to play for Story and Exploration (youtube.com)

    Most are an extension of Alyx based around the main plot but Gunman Contracts is amazing! Basically the John Wick game we never got!

    I really want to play this but I had a psvr and it made me feel horribly seasick almost immediately, should I give vr another chance? (edited)
    xxxman123's avatar
    Do short bursts until you get your vr legs
  20. crack_shot's avatar
    valve like nintendo can make magic from any old crap tech

    VR will never be successful but i still want to play this
  21. sr_387's avatar
