Half-Life: Alyx is a 2020 virtual reality (VR) first-person shooter game developed and published by Valve. It was released for Windows on March 23, 2020, and for Linux on May 15, with support for most PC-compatible VR headsets. Players control Alyx Vance on a mission to seize a superweapon belonging to the alien Combine before the events of Half-Life 2 (2004). Like previous Half-Life games, Alyx incorporates combat, puzzles and exploration. Players use VR to interact with the environment and fight enemies, using "gravity gloves" to snatch objects from a distance, similarly to the gravity gun from Half-Life 2.
Runs well on modern hardware.

This game is one of the main reasons purchasing vr set. And let me tell you Its INCREDIBLE!!! After finishing it I was left with a huge pile of positive emotions and memories that still havent faded. Everything here is so good that its honestly hard to put into words. The physics are absolutely flawless graphics stunning story gripping and the musical score perfectly sets the mood for every single moment. All of these segments are at top tier 3A level. Talking about the visual side the level design lighting textures atmosphere its all incredible. My final message: You absolutely have to play it. Just dont watch walkthroughs - go in blind and play play play play...
I waited 6 years to play this game. Somehow got here completely blind. I have not finished it yet but honestly? This was worth everything.
This game is the GOAT! i just got my vr this week and the first game i chose to play was this one and this game is beyond peak. it has good mechanics, it uses vr to its fullest and the game itself is so good that i cant explain it words. its the first half life game i finished and after this i think i will be finish HL2 vr and HL too because this game made me feel how much i missed out on those 2. 10/10 one of the best games i've ever played.
