>>10762486you're right, alyx is just a basic shooter. that's most of the reason i ended up dropping it
it's really polished but not particularly interesting past being in VR. it's just go from hallway to hallway sometimes shooting guys or sometimes solving """puzzles""" to get through to the next areas. the writing and set pieces seem great if a little reliant on prerequisite half life knowledge but you know my stance on story in games.
overall the only things explicitly bad are a lack of worthwhile variety to keep the core game play engaging and the shitty """""""puzzles""""""" that just feel like a massive, momentum killing chore. everything else is great but not so great that it can carry those flaws for me
