Valve consigue con Half-Life: Alyx, no solo crear el mejor juego para VR hasta la fecha, a la altura de cualquier AAA a nivel de profundidad y jugabilidad, sino empezar una nueva etapa muy ilusionante que, desde luego, a buen seguro se traducirá en nuevas entregas de la franquicia ¿Quizás estemos ahora más cerca que nunca de Half-Life 3? El tiempo lo dirá...

The masses may not rush out to buy a VR set to play Half-Life: Alyx. But anyone who loves video games should look at this game as a next logical step in the possibilities of dramatic, interactive storytelling. Bravo, Valve. Bravo.

Half-Life: Alyx is an accomplishment no matter which way you spin it.
DualShockers - Ryan Meitzler - 10 / 10
Through the lens of VR, Half-Life: Alyx is an amazing experience that blends action and storytelling with a profound level of immersion.

City 17 provides the setting for a VR adventure filled with brilliant detailing.
Game Informer - Leo Vader - 9 / 10
The dense campaign never lets up with surprising reveals, new enemies, and witty dialogue to carry you through the exciting journey
If you were worried about the quality, you can calmly exhale - Valve has not forgotten how to make great games. Half-Life: Alyx is not just the best and most beautiful project for virtual reality to date, but also an excellent and very worthy addition to the Half-Life series. It is simply a "must have" in the collection of a fan of the genre and franchise. If you were looking for a reason to buy an expensive VR helmet for PC, then you have finally found it. And everyone else should at least play it at a friend's house. And, Valve, you are now obligated to release Half-Life 3!

Half-Life: Alyx is a tremendous VR experience that captures and elevates what makes the series special.
GamesBeat - Mike Minotti - 80 / 100
But judged on its merits as a VR game, it excels. If you're looking for something to wow you with what the technology can do, this will get that job done.
GamesRadar+ - Rachel Weber - 4.5 / 5 stars
Not just a Half-Life game, but an invitation to live in its world.
IGN - Dan Stapleton - 10 / 10
Half-Life: Alyx has set a new bar for VR in interactivity, detail, and level design, showing what can happen when a world-class developer goes all-in on the new frontier of technology.
Half-Life: Alyx is an incredible demonstration of what can be done with virtual reality. Nobody, so far, has put the amount of resources and research that Valve did. This might not be the killer application VR needs, but it's an excellent game, worthy of the main series of Half-Life.
IGN Spain - Spanish - 9.5 / 10
Half-Life: Alyx is the new bar for Virtual Reality. Valve has made a game so realistic, immersive and detailed that we can consider it a main iteration of Half-Life. Only its story, something fair in what it contributes to the saga make it not have a perfect score.
Kotaku - Nathan Grayson - Unscored
Half-Life: Alyx reaches some astoundingly high heights while also managing to be both too ambitious and too conservative for its own good.
PC Gamer - Christopher Livingston - 92 / 100
With old friends, new enemies, and an exciting story, revisiting City 17 in VR is a thrill in Half-Life: Alyx.
PCGamesN - Dustin Bailey - 9 / 10
Confidently serves as both a vindication for the magic VR can bring to gaming, and a satisfying new entry in the beloved Half-Life series.Dustin Bailey

Valve has succeeded at just about every goal it must have had for this project. The only thing left is whether hardcore fans will be willing to buy, and use, a virtual reality headset in order to learn what happens next in the world of Half-Life.
The good news is that those who do will experience what is likely the best VR game released to date.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Graham Smith - Unscored
I hope I don’t have to wait for brain-computer interfaces to exist before the series returns again, because despite a handful of complaints, I still think Valve make the best first-person shooters around.
Shacknews - Asif Khan - 9 / 10
Valve has showcased a clear way for developers to create a high quality AAA experience built for VR that still hits all the marks of a traditional PC game.
TrustedReviews - Jade King - 4.5 / 5 stars
Valve has surpassed impossible expectations with Half-Life: Alyx, bringing a series long thought buried back into the limelight with extraordinary impact. While some might find it unfortunate that such an experience is housed inside virtual reality, I feel it's an innovative step forward for the series. If you have the means to play it, Half-Life: Alyx is absolutely essential.
USgamer - Mathew Olson - 4.5 / 5 stars
Half-Life: Alyx is billed as a VR return to the series, and that's exactly what it delivers. It does what Half-Life has historically done well, and without the clouding of nostalgia or unhelpful notions of what constitutes "revolutionary" design, it ranks alongside Half-Life 2.
VG247 - Kirk McKeand - 5 / 5 stars
It turns out Valve just needed new tech. It just needed VR. And it’s what I needed, too.
Worth Playing - Tony "OUberLord" Mitera - 9.8 / 10
This title couldn't have been done any other way; Alyx is a masterful addition to anyone's VR game library.
