Half-Life: Alyx Review

Показать описание

Half-Life: Alyx reviewed by Dan Stapleton on PC with Valve Index.

"One of the first things that struck me when I started playing Half-Life: Alyx was the dirt under Alyx Vance's fingernails. It's a simple thing, but it's not often that you see that level of fine detail in a VR game. Usually, virtual hands are either low-detail ghostly apparitions or gloved. This grit also tells us something about this character, a scrappy survivor raised in the aftermath of the Seven-Hour War in which the alien Combine conquered Earth, and it quickly establishes that she isn't as buttoned-down as that MIT-educated nerd Dr. Gordon Freeman. Subtle as it is, it sets the stage for the best VR shooter I've ever played by a mile - and one of the best in any perspective."

You have no idea how many times I refreshed steam this morning

Edit: Just beat the game after 12 hours of play and it was a fantastic experience and the ending just makes me want a sequel so badly, all I gotta say if you haven't finished it is prepare for unforseen consequences

I think this game is going to get a lot of attention due to the quarantine.

I finished the game two days ago. I whole heartedly agree, it is a true masterpiece, and a grand return to form for Valve.

Half-Life games never SET the bars, Half-Life games ARE the bars.

Let's be honest: This is the first VR game that could actually be a candidate for GOTY.
EDIT: This is probably the most successful thing I'll ever achieve, big oof moment right here.

1st Half-life game: redefined genre and set up new standarts for fps games
2nd HL : Absolutely supperior to any other fps game at that time and bring revolution to graphics and psychics possibilities of videogames
HL- Alyx : VR will be now the most wanted platform for gaming
3rd HL: open your 3rd eye, touch your soul and bring balance to the universe

PS: Just kidding, bringing of iron sights will be enough improvements for me

Guys I put my headset on and 4 hours of my life disappeared. That's a magic trick, not a game.

It’s a *10*

That also means Valve should make Half-Life 3 now. Anyday now...

American Gamers: “Valve, here’s $1200 now give me an Index and Half-Life 3.”

This is a review that brings a tear to my eye.

This means so much to me, for so many reasons. For starters, I grew up always knowing about Half Life because my father SWORE on it. It was his favorite game of all time and hes always talked about it since I was a kid. I saw my older brothers go through each game on the family computer, and I loved the game myself. Half Life put my Father on gaming, who put my brothers on gaming, who, ultimately, put me on gaming. Half Life is more than a game to me. It’s a symbol of time passing and the advancement of technology. My family eagerly awaited Half Life 3 like everyone else, even me who didn’t fully understand what Half Life was yet. My dad was really upset that episode 3 never came out because of that cliffhanger, and literally never gave up hope. He was convinced it was gonna be a VR title and bought an insane Alienware computer in 2015 just because he thought the new Half life would come out in that timespan (guess he was 5 years early). When I got home in 2019 and checked my feeds to find Valve posted a reveal trailer for a new Half-Life game, I instantly thought of my father and called him, as I lived in a different state. He was really excited, to say the least. It’s wholesome looking at him now, and seeing him FINALLY getting a sprinkle of clarity for the story he’s waited a long 13 years for. NO SPOILERS PLEASE! I don’t know what happens!! but, seriously, I’m satisfied this game defied all odds and came out at such a perfect time.

Valve is happy. Their fans love their game, and they were worried that they wouldn’t at one point. The fans are happy. They got to finally play the next Half-Life game. But most importantly, my father is happy. He got to finally see the story he loves continue, and enjoy Half-Life Alyx.

I give this game a personal, genuine, 10/10.
