[[Half-Life: Alyx]] is a [[VR]] [[game]] developed by [[Valve]] for [[SteamVR]]. The game continues the story line of the [[Half-Life]] franchise. The plot takes place between Half-Life and [[Half Life 2]] where the character you play, Alyx Vance, is up against aliens called Combine that have overtaken the planet since the Black Mesa incident (an event that triggered the teleportation of aliens to Earth). Alyx, along with her father, the scientist Dr. Eli Vance, have founded a resistance movement who studies and defies the Combine every chance they get.<ref name="one"> https://store.steampowered.com/app/546560/HalfLife_Alyx/</ref> | |||
