Half-Life: Alyx

I love this game and I highly advise playing Half-Life, Half-Life 2, and Half-Life 2 Episiode 1 and 2 before playing because it would just be an awful mess if not playing those games prior... Anyways I adore the gunplay in this game... A lot of VR games have a hard time making reloading feel fun and smooth, but for Half-Life Alyx, you can really feel like the main character flawlessly reloading... The graphics are freaking amazing even for someone like me wirelessly playing through an Oculus Quest 3s... The fact that you can interact with every single small/large object is just so fun.... Sometimes after the fight with the combine soldiers or zombies, I just lay down on the disgusting dirty concrete floor and take in the polluted City 17 sky which is just another plus with this game being in VR... Now, there are some cons about Half-Life Alyx... This game is hard to run wirelessly, especially if you are not using the Valve index, Its still playable obviously but it definitely takes away from the experience... The gunplay is great, but the take away is that there isn't any melee combat which just sucks because thats one of the more fun things to do in VR... Alyx's voice in this game is far different from Half-Life 2. It just sounds like a Valley girl which is just so irritating every time she talks... This game definitely feels like Valves first VR game being so user friendly with a lot of stuff being done for you... But I still love this game... Even for being a prequel, it still somehow manages to get rid of Half-Life 2: Episode 2's cliffhanger, almost wrapping it up... But I will say, this game is such a punch in the face because at the very end, the game teases more story (Half-Life 3) which just hurts because we all know that game is not coming out... (9/10)
