Timeless classic

Visions of tears... in short something incredible ahead

Gachi's approval

Wholesome Keanu game

When people look at the VR genre as a whole in five years' time, Half-Life: Alyx won't be thought of as the magnum opus. With its release however, Valve have made groundbreaking progress towards VR becoming mainstream, and perhaps even the de facto standard of gaming. For their pioneering work, they deserve all my praise.

Aside from its implications in VR, Alyx is a great Half-Life game with a great story. It has managed to sate the more than a decade-long hunger of Half-Life fans for more content. It also shows Valve are no longer ignoring the franchise that made them, reigniting hope for a continuation to the story.

This game has a concept unlike any I've seen before. With only a handful of mechanics, the game manages to showcase incredible depth in the ways these can be utilized. Each level has been handcrafted around the mechanics to extract every bit of potential from them. Everything in a level is there for a reason; a fact that will be the greatest clue on the way to beating any level. Still, finding the one permutation that works out of the hundreds possible will push your brain cells to their limit. Nothing beats the feeling you get from finally clearing a level that has eluded you for hours. Baba Is You is truly one of the greatest puzzle games ever created.

Killing infidels has never been as fun.

You can drive through the night like Roy Orbison.

It's gonna change your life forever... At least until Half-Life 3 comes out. Well, that doesn't really change my original statement.
