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.

Six years after this game was released, it is still -to this day- the best VR game that has been made. Nothing comes close, nothing compares, nothing competes. Valve delivers top-tier world crafting and innovative gameplay systems that feel natural alongside character animation that makes them feel present in the room. Even six years on, seeing characters move and talk was wild. Gunplay is excellent, interactivity is excellent, voice acting is tops and the environments are rich.
Now release Half Life 3.

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.

Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 11/day in the week to Sep 14 → 25.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
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.

Нууууууу, графика классная, объективно недостигнутый на сегодня другими студиями уровень постановки и деталей мира. Но вот баги, вылеты, падения под текстуры... Я допускаю, что просто у меня карма такая, но я словил софтлок уже в первой главе и не смог продолжить прохождение. В интернете куча людей с такой же проблемой причем сквозь года она не фиксится, поэтому наверное крутая игра, но поиграть в нее не получилось :с

This game is something very special, If I didn't own a VR I would 100% buy one just for this game. I only have 3 hours, but I have already seen enough to say that this is the most visually pleasing game on VR right now, and everything feels so real, it really sucks you into the world of Half-Life.
Can't forget to mention that this is also probably one of the most optimised VR games on steam, despite only having your average specifications, I average 80-90 frames on high fidelity with almost no stutters, freezes, or frame halving, and the game looks amazing.
The gameplay is super satisfying, it could be it's own standalone non-vr game and it would still be great, the gravity gloves are an absolute blast to use, and the game lets you play how YOU want, you have so much freedom. As a VR horror it also excels in it's combat and atmosphere, it doesn't throw ammo and syringes at you every second, it's very balanced in a way that is also suspenseful. Something I also like about the game is that it wants it's player to be comfortable playing the game, it offers many accessibility features that can change the way alyx moves, looks around, etc.
I will probably update this review when I finish the game, but I couldn't wait to write a review, the game shocked me to the point where I just HAD to review it early. I've only played sandbox games up until this game on VR, and I haven't really been the type of person to lock in and play a vr game for longer than an hour, but this game changed that and had me standing up in one little circle for 3 hours, very impressed with this game, 10/10.
