About
About the game
Half-Life: Alyx is Valve’s VR return to the Half-Life series. It’s the story of an impossible fight against a vicious alien race known as the Combine, set between the events of Half-Life and Half-Life 2.
Playing as Alyx Vance, you are humanity’s only chance for survival. The Combine’s control of the planet since the Black Mesa incident has only strengthened as they corral the remaining population in cities. Among them are some of Earth’s greatest scientists: you and your father, Dr. Eli Vance.
As founders of a fledgling resistance, you’ve continued your clandestine scientific activity—performing critical research, and building invaluable tools for the few humans brave enough to defy the Combine.
Every day, you learn more about your enemy, and every day you work toward finding a weakness.
ABOUT GAMEPLAY IN VR:
Valve’s return to the Half-Life universe that started it all was built from the ground up for virtual reality. VR was built to enable the gameplay that sits at the heart of Half-Life.
Immerse yourself in deep environmental interactions, puzzle solving, world exploration, and visceral combat.
Lean to aim around a broken wall and under a Barnacle to make an impossible shot. Rummage through shelves to find a healing syringe and some shotgun shells. Manipulate tools to hack alien interfaces. Toss a bottle through a window to distract an enemy. Rip a Headcrab off your face and throw it out the window.
COMMUNITY-BUILT ENVIRONMENTS
A set of Source 2 tools for building new levels is included with the game, enabling any player to build and contribute new environments for the community to enjoy through Half-Life: Alyx's Steam Workshop. Hammer, Valve’s level authoring tool, has been updated with all of the game's virtual reality gameplay tools and components.

The absolute best VR game i've played. If more games were made like this VR would be much more popular.

Of the 7 markets with a position on both sides, 3 climbed and 4 fell. The same sale, the same day, opposite directions — which is why nothing here is averaged into a single arrow, and why one sale is not a trend.

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

It has been said by thousands of others, but if you want a great VR experience from the comfort of your own home - play HL: Alyx.
There is a reason that Valve is a world-famous games company, and that people are still recommending Alyx to this day. This is a great experience and one that every new VR consumer should play at least once.
As a Half-Life fan from the original 1998, this game is fantastic!

Wow, just wow! It took me some time to pick up this game even though I have had the Index since it came out. I have struggled playing other VR games due to getting headaches very quickly. Did not happen once in Alyx.
Love the scenery and the attention to detail. You can interact with almost anything.
I hate horror games and I hate FPS shooters and fast reflex games. So I really should not have liked this one. But I can't help myself. I love it!

There is a reason this game is mentioned so often as the GOAT. This game is the one that all other VR games are measured against and despite its age, many are found lacking. Bring on more!

Шедевр от Valve, если у вас есть вр шлем то однозначно к прохождению очень рекомендую:)

Ich habe das Spiel erst 2026 gespielt, nachdem ich bereits schon viele andere Titel wie Asgards Wrath 2, Red Matter 2, Metro, The Walking Dead uvm. hinter mir habe.
Dennoch muss ich zugeben, dass Half Life Alyx für mich immer noch DAS Referenz-Spiel überhaupt ist. Es sieht auch in 2026 noch beispiellos gut aus.
Ich hoffe, dass auch in Zukunft noch viele solcher großartigen VR Spiele erscheinen, denn die Immersion ist auf einem anderen Level.
Vielen Dank Valve für diese Erfahrung!
