Excited: first reaction to Half-Life: Alyx

Yesterday on Steam became available the highly anticipated Half-Life: Alyx game. Many owners of VR headsets have already played and shared their impressions. Collected the most interesting opinions and funny tweets.

Half-Life: Alyx (a new VR game in the HL universe) started to take place and it's just a dump. Hanging on the starting location for 10 minutes looking at everything around and playing with the interactive environment

Played 15 minutes in HL: Alyx. It is also a dump and an ass. https://t.co/pSqPlDMLiY

Somehow Valve did it again, Half-Life: Alyx is incredible

But in general, my impressions from Alyx are still extremely positive, no other VR game has ever seen such a level of detail and quality.
The shootouts themselves are just really fun

Half-Life: Alyx is doing great, so far probably one of the best VR experiences I've had.

Gamers were amazed at the possibilities of interacting with surrounding objects.

I'm playing Half-Life: Alyx with my friends and it's great.

yes, the picture in the game is really photorealistic, I don't remember that, well, there is even #VR beer)
Half-Life: Alyx is clearly setting a new level for VR gaming, as Bonworks did with physics at the end of 2019 pic.twitter.com/uoOZuzLbdq

Markers and the ability to draw directly on the glass left no one indifferent.

By far the best mechanic in Alyx pic.twitter.com/pEfCwFyNSc

By far the best mechanic in Alyx.

They also found a piano in the game, on which you can play something. If you, of course, know how to do it in reality.

Localization also did not go unnoticed.

Do you know what Half-LIfe: Alyx is missing? Russian voice acting. pic.twitter.com/BwpNdi8OnH

Players especially note that the video walkthrough does not convey even part of the real sensations from VR immersion.

I looked a little at the stream recording. I think many will be tempted to "pass" HL: Alyx on YouTube. I do not recommend it directly. Not only does it not convey a feeling, in 2D this is a completely different state, terribly far from what happens in VR. pic.twitter.com/NrajQdELzz

I strongly advise against "going through" Alyx on YouTube, not only spoil your first impression, but also the effect is completely different in 2D with flat sound

- Alexander Teseyko (@TEkoOne) March 23, 2020

Several streamers have already gone through the game and have shown an ending that will amaze any fan of the Half-Life series. We will not spoil it, but we will cite as an example the tweets of those who have already seen everything.

I could not resist and watched the ending of Half-Life: Alyx

I can only say one thing:

Of course, not everyone was able to play Half-Life: Alyx.

Alyx is cool, of course. The interactivity is amazing. pic.twitter.com/TvFPL1r2r1

Watching how Half-Life: Alyx is played. Well this is an attraction. Big expensive theme park. Alley of memory.

Half-life: Alyx is a dump of everything possible. I don't know how about BREAKTHROUGH in the industry, but here's PINOK... Yeah. If "CONFIRMED" is only for VR, then you still have to start saving.

- Mikhail Savelev (@ 6ShielD6) March 24, 2020

Half-Life: Alyx. Why did you come out for VR?

I read reviews, watch excerpts from the game and the desire to play myself is unrealistic. Maybe one day the same HTC Vive will stop costing more than 60k rubles ...

In the meantime, dancing with the headcrab, gentlemen! pic.twitter.com/PCp8vfHICj

Half-Life: Alyx cannon. I already wanted to take viar, but then I remembered what the dollar is today and “well, yes, yes, I go fuck it” :(
