About Half-Life: Alyx
The virtual reality setting places players as Alyx Vance, fighting the Combine alien race between previous games. This action shooter features single-player gameplay where characters manipulate objects like bottles and syringes directly while solving puzzles in detailed environments. Combat involves aiming weapons around obstacles such as broken walls, and enemies include Headcrabs that attach to player faces. Resistance members conduct secret scientific research in cities, using tools to hack alien interfaces and build survival gear. The main story takes 12 hours, extending to 14 with extras and reaching 19 for a completionist run. It is not supported on Steam Deck. Valve made and published the game.
