VR affected almost every aspect of the design, including combat, movement, level design, and pacing.
Half-Life: Alyx entered production using Valve's new Source 2 engine in 2016, with the largest team in Valve's history, including members of Campo Santo, a studio Valve acquired in 2018. Recognizing the demand for a major VR game, they experimented with prototypes using their various intellectual properties such as Portal, and found Half-Life to be best suited for VR. In the mid-2010s, Valve began experimenting with VR. Valve made several attempts to develop further Half-Life games, but could not settle on a direction. The previous Half-Life game, Episode Two, was released in 2007 and ended on a cliffhanger. Players use VR to interact with the environment and fight enemies, using "gravity gloves" to snatch objects from a distance, similarly to the gravity gun from Half-Life 2. Like previous Half-Life games, Alyx incorporates combat, puzzles, exploration and survival horror.
Set five years before Half-Life 2 (2004), players control Alyx Vance on a mission to seize a superweapon belonging to the alien Combine. It was released for Windows and Linux with support for most PC-compatible VR headsets. Half-Life: Alyx is a 2020 virtual reality (VR) first-person shooter game developed and published by Valve.
