After 13 years of stagnation, Valve’s Half-Life franchise makes a triumphant return with Half-Life: Alyx. Taking bold steps into a new medium, Half-Life: Alyx delivers on the promise of what fans expect in a new chapter of Half-Life, opening a new path in the world of virtual reality.
Just like Gordon Freeman himself, Half-Life games emerge from humble beginnings but impact the future with unforeseen consequences. The first entry revolutionized the use of fiction in first person shooters when it was released in 1998. Half-Life 2 forever changed the nature of physics in video games with the introduction of the Gravity Gun and Source engine.
Half-Life: Alyx follows this trend of innovation by setting the gold standard of AAA gaming design in VR. Valve had the impossible task of not only figuring out how to design a full-scale VR game, but of reviving a beloved series with unattainable expectations. Somehow, they nailed both of them with flying colors.
