Top Critic
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.
Top Critic
Not just a Half-Life game, but an invitation to live in its world.

The dense campaign never lets up with surprising reveals, new enemies, and witty dialogue to carry you through the exciting journey
Top Critic
Half-Life: Alyx is a tremendous VR experience that captures and elevates what makes the series special.
Top Critic
Valve has succeeded at just about every goal it must have had for this project. The only thing left is whether hardcore fans will be willing to buy, and use, a virtual reality headset in order to learn what happens next in the world of Half-Life. The good news is that those who do will experience what is likely the best VR game released to date.
Top Critic
Half-Life: Alyx reaches some astoundingly high heights while also managing to be both too ambitious and too conservative for its own good.
