Half-Life: Alyx review — VR's defining shooter is deeper than you think

Apparently, Valve Time was the right amount of time needed to brew up a masterpiece

Thirteen years is a long time to wait for a sequel. But it turns out that thirteen isn't an unlucky number after all, as Half-Life: Alyx has delivered exactly what many had hoped for. Just as we'd expect from Valve, Half-Life: Alyx breaks new ground in story-telling, atmosphere building, and setpiece design. It's the true hallmark of the company in every way.

If that's the case and you haven't had the opportunity or desire to pick up a VR headset before, do it now. Half-Life: Alyx is worth the price of entry alone.
