42 /100

Half-Life: Alyx is primarily an immersive sci-fi action/puzzle shooter in VR. It includes tense encounters and grotesque imagery, but fear and survival pressure are not the core player experience; exploration, puzzle-solving, and environmental interactivity define the gameplay. Horror elements exist but are not central.
