Half-Life: Alyx

Valve's VR return to the Half-Life universe plunges you into an impossible fight against the Combine, a vicious alien race that has tightened its grip on Earth since the Black Mesa incident. Set between the events of Half-Life and Half-Life 2, you play as Alyx Vance, humanity's last hope for survival.

As a founder of the fledgling resistance alongside your father, Dr. Eli Vance, you engage in clandestine scientific activity, conducting critical research and building invaluable tools for those brave enough to defy the Combine. Every day brings new discoveries about your enemy and brings you closer to finding a weakness.

Gameplay in VR

Built from the ground up for virtual reality, Half-Life: Alyx leverages VR to deliver the immersive gameplay that defines the series.

• Deep Environmental Interactions: Lean to aim around cover, rummage through environments for supplies, and manipulate objects with unprecedented realism.
• Puzzle Solving: Interact with alien interfaces and solve intricate environmental puzzles.
• World Exploration: Discover the secrets of City 17 and its surrounding areas.
• Visceral Combat: Experience intense firefights where your every move matters.

Use the environment to your advantage: toss a bottle to distract enemies, rip a Headcrab off your face and throw it away, or make impossible shots by leaning around obstacles.
