Still the greatest VR game of all time. That's both incredible and sad... But everyone should try Alyx once.

I don't get the negative reviews on this game. "The combats too boring! Every enemy is just a bullet sponge!" It was designed for dramatic, theatrical gameplay, not for boss fights that take multiple deaths to beat. If you look at the game at a pure difficulty stand point, then it's basically just a walking simulator with occasional puzzles, and I think thats fine. I wouldn't want to spend my time stuck on an extremely difficult boss fight, especially not in vr, where you will get exhausted and frustrated much faster. "Theres too little weapon variety! Why is only one-handed guns?" If they chose to add another gun, what would it be? A sniper rifle in a game thats mostly small rooms? An automatic rifle when theres already the pistol and smg? They already have every base covered with the pistol, shotgun, and smg, they even have a grenade launcher upgrade. Two handed weapons also didn't fit with how the game was geared towards newer vr players who likely don't have gunstocks. A lot of combat is also ducking in and out of cover, something that two handed guns make frustrating because they would constantly get caught. Most other negative reviews are also just refuted instantly by developer commentary. "Why are there no melee weapons?" Because of the lack of physical feedback, melee combat was just a huge immersion breaker for playtesters. They were basically just wiggling their controller infront of them, swinging at ghosts. I also feel like melee combat would've been bad for the game because they would either need to lower the ammo given, or make melee combat useless past the early game. "Puzzles are too easy!" Every puzzle was designed with the knowledge you already have, its not going to suddenly throw a new mechanic into your face and tell you to just figure it out. None of the puzzles felt incoherent or nonsensical, they always had logical solutions that feel rewarding to figure out. If you thought the puzzles were "too easy" then I guess your just some gaming guru that just hates figuring out sensible puzzles.

almost 6 years later and this is still one of the best VR experiences of all time. it's a little short, but not as short as I thought it would be, and there's a ton of content packed into the ~10 hours of gameplay. don't rush through this game, enjoy what valve has laid out for us. half life 3 when

Positive: Still the best VR game ever made. Negative: Will ruin every other VR game for you. Nothing else comes close. If a majority of VR titles had come even near to this, VR would probably be much more of a force in gaming, as opposed to remaining to be a cool gimmick. Alyx does not feel like a gimmick at all. The attention to detail is absurd. Every key on the piano in the hotel works. That pretty much sums it up.
