Critic Reviews for Half-Life: Alyx
Half-Life: Alyx has set a new bar for VR in interactivity, detail, and level design, showing what can happen when a world-class developer goes all-in on the new frontier of technology.
City 17 provides the setting for a VR adventure filled with brilliant detailing.
With old friends, new enemies, and an exciting story, revisiting City 17 in VR is a thrill in Half-Life: Alyx.
An incredible technical achievement but one that is surprisingly short of genuinely new ideas, and often struggles to get the balance right between VR showpiece and satisfying gameplay experience.
The dense campaign never lets up with surprising reveals, new enemies, and witty dialogue to carry you through the exciting journey
Half-Life: Alyx is a tremendous VR experience that captures and elevates what makes the series special.
