Half-Life: Alyx was just released a week ago and it was an absolute bomb. While it is not the Half-Life 3 that fans have always waited for, it is undeniably the best VR game currently on the market and a game that is worthy of the name of the Half-Life series.
Quick Half-Life: Alyx overview
Half-Life: Alyx is a prequel of Half-Life 2. You will be in the shoe of a girl named Alyx (literally) who is on a mission to obtain a Combine superweapon. Using VR, players can interact with the environment and combat with enemies. Players will have a crucial item called Gravity Glove ( the same as the Gravity Gun) to manipulate objects in the game. There are a lot of old elements from the previous Half-Life games such as physics-based puzzles, hidden secrets, horror aspects.
Half-Life: Alyx received all the praise from the fans with an immersive world, optimized game, smooth, intuitive interaction, and a compelling story. Many people even think the game is so great that you can buy a VR headset just to play it.
New 'Level Editor' Feature So Players Can Their Own Content
While Half-Life: Alyx is a great game, once you have finished everything and discovered all the secrets, there are few reasons left for you to go back and play it again. But Valve knows this and they also know what could make people keep coming back to the game, a sandbox mode.
They are now planning on implementing the Hammer editor, a tool that is used to create Half-Life: Alyx, for players to use and create their own VR world. With this tool, the true potential of Half-Life: Alyx will be unleased by the creativity of millions of players. From one game, it will create thousands of other games that could even change the VR game industry.
