About Half-Life: Alyx

Half-Life: Alyx is Valve’s VR return to the Half-Life series. It’s the story of an impossible fight against a vicious alien race known as the Combine, set between the events of Half-Life and Half-Life 2. Alyx Vance and her father Eli mount an early resistance to the Combine's brutal occupation of Earth.

The community says

Compared to Hotline Miami this feels like a completely different planet, slow and deliberate where Hotline is pure chaos. Both work, just not for the same mood.

ELO progression

Score moved from 1,500 to 1,848 ELO points over the last 170 days.

    Coincido en que la comparación es rara, pero al final el sistema junta lo que puede, no lo que tiene sentido.

    A mí también me tocó una racha de noches largas jugándolo, aunque en mi caso fue por trabajo, no por insomnio.

    Played this during a really quiet stretch last winter and it filled up evenings I didn't know what to do with otherwise.

    VinylOwl

    Same quiet stretch feeling here (funny how VR games do that), though Hotline Miami never let me relax like this one did.

    Lo jugué el año pasado en una racha de insomnio bastante mala, y creo que eso infló mi entusiasmo más de lo que debería.

    FrameKid

    entiendo lo del insomnio, a mi también me pasó algo asi, se disfruta distinto cuando estás medio ido

  4. SilviaAce

    Me parece que la comparación con Centipede no tiene mucho sentido, aunque entiendo que el sistema los empareje por algo técnico que se me escapa.

  5. Coop_Ferrer

    Comparado con lo que suele dominar el género de disparos, este va por otro camino totalmente distinto.
