Half-Life: Alyx. Valve made some bold choices here, to marginalize the playerbase by going VR only. I'd like to note here, that I wasn't a big fan of the Half-Life series that I played back in 2007 - I wasn't a fan of horror / jumpscare games at all - but the story was appealing and the gameplay was good.

Jump to 2025 and I've changed my tastes (thank you Hellblade: Senua games) and after playing videogames for 30 years finally got a VR headset. Alyx was going to happen.

This game is FUN. Physics FUN. Gun FUN. Gloves FUN. Enemies FUN. Puzzles FUN. Jeff FUN. Gman FUN. Fun fun FUN!

The only real issue I had was the disconnect between myself and Alyx as a character. After intensly fistpumping in the air once I had FINALLY killed Jeff, breathing heavy and feeling good, Alyx just says: Oh my God, Jeff. Are you okay? [Laughs]

So many parts that I WISH I was Alyx, but alas - I was but a shadow of her courage.

Anyway 10/10 - would Jeff again!
