The Valve Corporation has just released three new Half-Life: Alyx gameplay videos, which is three weeks away from its retail launch on Windows PCs. All of this footage has been spliced together from various moments through the campaign, with only one the first scene taking place within the game’s earliest section. These aren’t designed to show tons of story, but rather Alyx’s VR movement, beat-by-beat gameplay, and of course, the gravity gloves. Read more for three videos and additional information.
This game takes place before the return of Gordon Freeman in Half-Life 2, and players control Freeman’s ally Alyx Vance as she and her father Eli Vance fight the Combine, an alien empire that has conquered Earth. Players use virtual reality to gather supplies, use interfaces, throw objects, and engage in combat.

Every single weapon in this game can be used one-handed, as Valve wanted players to have a hand free to interact with the world at all times.
