  • The Crew of the Unreliable: The player can recruit six unique companions who live on their starship, The Unreliable. Players can bring two companions with them at any time. Companions will fight alongside the player, provide commentary on quests, and grant passive skill bonuses. Each companion also has a powerful, unique special ability that the player can command them to use in combat.
    Varies (Human, Robot)
Key Collectibles
  • Resin: Small, orange, cylindrical pieces of Combine material found scattered throughout all levels, often in crates, shelves, or hidden nooks. Collected and used at Combine Fabricator stations to upgrade Alyx's three main weapons (Pistol, Shotgun, SMG).

  • Firearms: Varies (Pistols, Long Guns, Heavy Guns)
    A wide array of firearms, from pistols and assault rifles to plasma launchers and LMGs. Weapons are made by in-game corporations and can be modified with attachments.
  • Melee Weapons: Varies (One-Handed, Two-Handed)
    A variety of close-quarters weapons, from blades to large hammers, which can be enhanced with elemental damage mods.
  • Science Weapons: Unique
    A set of six unique, bizarre weapons with special effects, such as the 'Shrink Ray' (shrinks enemies), 'Gloop Gun' (causes enemies to float), and 'Mandibular Rearranger' (stuns and shuffles enemy faces).
Armor / Gear Sets
  • No Equipable Armor System: Alyx Vance does not have an equipable armor system where players can find or upgrade different pieces of armor for stat boosts. Her survivability is based on her base health, which can be restored using Health Syringes found in the environment or from Health Stations. Player skill in combat, using cover effectively, and managing resources are key to survival.
  • Health Syringes & Health Stations: Health Syringes are consumable items stored in Alyx's wrist slots that provide instant healing. Wall-mounted Health Stations can also be found, allowing Alyx to restore her health by interacting with them (often requiring a puzzle or power to activate).
  • Armor & Helmets: Players can equip Light, Medium, or Heavy armor and a helmet. Armor provides a defensive rating and often includes passive bonuses to skills, like +5 to Persuade or +10 to Engineering.
Outfits/Customization
  • Alyx Vance's Standard Attire: Alyx wears a consistent outfit throughout the game, consisting of a practical jacket (often with a Black Mesa logo reference), shirt, pants, and her iconic fingerless gloves which house her health/ammo display and are part of the Gravity Glove system. There are no player-controlled clothing customization options for Alyx; her appearance is fixed for the narrative.
  • Gravity Gloves ('Russells'): These are a key piece of Alyx's gear, not clothing in the traditional sense, but visually distinct. They are black and yellow and integral to her ability to interact with the VR world. They are not customizable in appearance.
  • Armor Sets: Players can equip hundreds of different armor pieces and helmets. While there is no transmog system, the wide variety of corporate-branded gear (Spacer's Choice, Auntie Cleo's, etc.) allows for extensive cosmetic mixing and matching.
public World & Exploration

  • Q: Where does Half-Life: Alyx fit into the Half-Life timeline?
    A: Half-Life: Alyx is a prequel set between the events of the original Half-Life and Half-Life 2. It takes place five years before Gordon Freeman's return in Half-Life 2.
  • Q: Do I need to have played previous Half-Life games to understand Alyx?
    A: While Half-Life: Alyx tells a self-contained story focused on Alyx Vance, familiarity with the Half-Life universe, characters (like Eli Vance, G-Man), and the Combine will significantly enhance the appreciation of its narrative, lore, and the impact of its ending. However, it can still be enjoyed by newcomers.
  • Q: What are the 'Russells' or Gravity Gloves?
    A: The Gravity Gloves, nicknamed 'Russells' by Alyx after their inventor, are a pair of gloves that allow her to target distant objects and flick her wrist to pull them towards her through the air. They are a core VR mechanic for interaction, looting, and puzzle-solving.
  • Q: How long is Half-Life: Alyx?
    A: A typical playthrough of the main story campaign takes around 12-15 hours, though this can vary depending on exploration, puzzle difficulty, and player skill. The Steam Workshop offers many additional hours of community-created content.
  • Q: Does Half-Life: Alyx have mod support?
    A: Yes, Valve released official modding tools (Source 2 SDK) for Half-Life: Alyx, which has led to a thriving modding community creating custom maps, new campaigns, gameplay modifications, and other experiences available through the Steam Workshop.
  • Q: What is The Outer Worlds?

  • Q: Is it an open-world game?
    A: No, it is not a single seamless open world. It features a series of large, separate 'open-zone' maps on different planets that you travel between using your spaceship.
  • Q: What is the 'Flaw' system?
    A: It's a unique mechanic where the game offers you a permanent, negative debuff (a Flaw) based on your gameplay, such as a fear of robots after fighting them a lot. If you accept the Flaw, you immediately get a free Perk point, allowing for unique role-playing.
  • Q: Is it like Fallout: New Vegas?
    A: It shares a lot of the same DNA. It was led by the same directors as Fallout, and features similar dark humor, satirical themes, faction reputation systems, and deep, choice-driven quest design.

  • Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Sustained CPU performance is important for physics calculations, AI, and overall game logic in demanding VR scenarios.
  • Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus can reduce latency and improve framerates by allowing the dedicated GPU to connect directly to the display (or VR headset via appropriate ports), which is highly beneficial for VR.
  • Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: The game engine (Source 2) features dynamic resolution scaling and allows for fixed render resolution overrides (per-eye) to manage performance for VR. SteamVR also provides global and per-application resolution settings.
  • Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: In-game graphics fidelity settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), the VR headset's native refresh rate (e.g., 90Hz, 120Hz, 144Hz), and the render resolution (per-eye) are the most significant factors affecting performance and visual quality. Maintaining a stable framerate matching the headset's refresh rate is crucial for a comfortable and immersive VR experience.
  • Game Name: Half-Life: Alyx
  • OFFICIAL PC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for the original 2019 release. A 'Spacer's Choice Edition' with higher requirements was released in 2023. The following extrapolations for modern laptops are based on the original, well-optimized release.
  • Laptop Performance Note: Laptop versions of the listed desktop GPUs require comparable performance. Given the game's age and optimization, most modern gaming laptops will run The Outer Worlds at high settings and framerates without issue.
  • Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Not a critical factor for this title, as even lower-power laptop GPUs can easily run the game at high framerates.
  • Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The game is not overly demanding, but good cooling is always beneficial for maintaining consistent performance during long sessions.
  • Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: The game is not CPU-intensive by modern standards, and most modern mobile CPUs will handle it without issue.
  • Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus can help reduce system latency, which is beneficial for the game's first-person shooter combat.
  • Game Name: The Outer Worlds
