might be one of the best VR games in existence, but that doesn't mean much to those for whom virtual reality is still out of reach. Ever since Valve's VR masterpiece launched back in March 2020, there have been people clamouring to experience this intermediary Half-Life chapter without the VR requirement., a functionally titled project to convert Alyx into a more traditional flatscreen experience.

Note that this doesn't mean the mod itself is finished. Rather, the game is completable on a conventional PC without players needing to implement cheats or noclip to bypass impassable sections.

Not only does Alyx introduce whole new ways of seeing City 17, but it also adds new methods of interacting with Valve's world. That said, there is more to Alyx than its VR functionality. Everything that makes Valve games so uniquely compelling is present in Alyx.
