Professional Reviews
3 reviews from 3 criticsHalf-Life: Alyx delivers a rich narrative and top-tier gameplay that sets a new benchmark for VR gaming. Despite a high price point and some intimidating enemies, it remains a must-play for serious VR enthusiasts.
“Half‑Life: Alyx isn’t quite as revolutionary as you might hope, particularly if you’re already well‑versed in virtual reality, but it’s undoubtedly one of the best games on the platform and hopefully the start of a resurgence for both the series and the hardware.”
