Half-Life Alyx is a virtual reality game (VR) that supports all SteamVR-compatible VR headsets, which include the Valve Index, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest and all Windows Mixed Reality headsets. (1) As the gameplay was designed around VR, Valve stated there were no plans for anon-VR interpretation. (1) (2) Half- Life Alyx also supports stoner mods via the Steam Workshop. (3)
Players control Freeman's supporter Alyx Vance as she and her father Eli Vance fight the Combine, an alien conglomerate that has conquered Earth. (1) Developer David Speyrer said Alyx wasn't an episodic game or side story, but"the coming part of the Half- Life story", around the same length as Half- Life 2. (4) Players use VR to get inventories, use interfaces, throw objects, and engage in combat. Like the graveness gun from Half- Life 2, the graveness gloves allow players to manipulate graveness. (4) The game includes traditional Half- Life rudiments similar as disquisition, mystifications, combat, and story. (5) Every armament can be used one-handed, as Valve wanted players to have a hand free to interact with the world at all times. (6) While the game is primarily a first-person shooter, it adds rudiments of the survival horror kidney, as health and ammo are more scarce, and it includes shocking hassles. (7) (8) (9)
Players can physically move around in room scale to move Alyx in- game. Alternately, players can use analog sticks on the VR regulators to move Alyx traditionally, teleport to near points, or an intermediate mode that has Alyx" glide"to named points. In the case of the teleportation option, the game still simulates the movement indeed though the action appears immediate, and Alyx may die if attacked or moved from too great a height. (10)
Plot
Half-Life Alyx takes place five times before the events of Half-Life 2. (11) Earth has been conquered by the alien Combine, who have enforced a brutal police state. In City 17, teenage Alyx (Ozioma Akagha) and her father. Eli Vance, both members of a mortal resistance movement, are stealing Combine coffers. After they're captured by the Combine, resistance member Russell (Rhys Darby) rescues Alyx and warns her that Eli will be transported to Nova Prospekt for interrogation. (12) To block the train carrying Eli, Alyx gambles into the counterblockade zone, an area inside City 17 overran with parasitic alien life. Along the way, she meets an eccentric Vortigaunt (Tony Todd), who asks Alyx to save his fellow Vortigaunts and foresees that Eli will die. (13)
Inside the Quarantine Zone, Alyx derails the train and the Vortigaunt rescues Eli from the wreckage. While in guardianship, Eli has learned that the Combine are storing a superweapon in a massive floating vault in the counterblockade zone; he instructs Alyx to find the vault and steal its contents. (14) Alyx gambles through the Quarantine Zone, contending with aliens and Combine dogfaces. She shuts down a power station keeping the vault round and discovers that each station contains enslaved Vortigaunts forced to conduct their powers to the vault. The Vortigaunt she rescues pledges that he and the others will take down the remaining power stations
