Half-Life Alyx: Levitation is the most compelling reason to dust off my VR goggles I’ve seen since Half-Life: Alyx. Out today after two years of development, the ambitious mod promises 3-4 hours of barrel-chucking, window-breaking, train-dodging, combine-blasting fun.
Perhaps the full package will pale in comparison to Valve’s polish, but the bit in this trailer where the player scurries down a train while contorting around manhacks looks oh-so appetisingly transportative. I think it’s time I dug out my lighthouses.
