Half-Life: Alyx is billed as a VR return to the series, and that's exactly what it delivers. It is a full-length VR experience that both needs to be in VR, but that uses the tech to more strongly evoke the same feelings you got with a mouse and keyboard years ago.

I genuinely cannot find a real fault with this game. It seamlessly translates itself to VR. There's humour, there's horror and everything comes together and creates the perfect Half-Life game.

I had such an incredible time going back into the Half-Life universe, and in VR. It's outstanding. The story is full of surprises as you can expect from a Half-Life game. A true AAA experience in VR, Half-Life: Alyx is a triumphant return for Valve—even if you aren't playing as Gordon Freeman.
