Half-Life: Alyx – Cane and Rinse no.657

“We just gotta get to the vault, get the weapon, kick the Combine off Earth — super easy — and they’re — and there’s sandwiches, there’s gonna be sandwiches…”

The oft-cited standard-bearer of VR gaming, Half-Life: Alyx offered gamers near total immersion in the Half-Life universe when many were experiencing the first Covid-19 lockdown. The game also carried the weight of being the first Half-Life game in 13 years, and the reason to purchase a Valve Index headset. Chris Worthington, Darren, James and Ryan discuss whether it bore all that weight.
