On March 23, Valve officially released Half-Life: Alyx, a long-awaited VR game. The game is now in the hands of gamers worldwide and has been experienced publicly by many streamers.
One of them is Dũng CT, a streamer who owns the YouTube channel Trực Tiếp Game with tens of thousands of followers on each live stream. As a long-time fan of the Half-Life series, he “Dẽo” didn’t miss the opportunity to experience the VR version with fans and provide initial reviews.
As we know, Half-Life: Alyx is set in a world where Earth is dominated by the alien Combine forces. Humans must live in concentrated areas, which are gradually shrinking until extinction. The drinking water provided by the Combine causes infertility, preventing the population from increasing, resulting in areas of the game completely devoid of children and filled with bloodthirsty monsters. Players will take on the role of Alyx, a girl on a mission to rescue her father from the Combine’s prison.
Dũng CT’s initial impression upon entering the game was one of awe. This is a game with a realistic environment, extraordinarily detailed and sophisticated graphics, while the game space is vast. He stated: “If I weren’t wearing VR glasses, I would think everything around me was real.”
Therefore, throughout the gameplay, this streamer couldn’t escape the feeling of both tension and excitement during the action scenes. Being a VR game, he “Dẽo” also advised everyone that if they have poor mental health, are prone to dizziness, or have vestibular issues, they should avoid playing to prevent negative health effects.
Through this live stream, viewers will see that the game developers allow characters to interact with numerous objects around, from a baguette, discarded cans, to even the corpses of monsters.
Overall, since this is a VR game that has a strong impact on the nervous system, Valve has slowed down the pace of Half-Life: Alyx to provide the best experience for users. In addition to exciting shooting scenarios, the game also blends puzzle elements to challenge players and help them feel more at ease.
Half-Life: Alyx is a relatively expensive game that requires a lot of equipment conditions to experience. However, watching streamers can help viewers somewhat experience the appeal and decide whether or not to purchase the game.
