Calling all Half-Life gamers, you can now play Half-Life for free for the next two months!
Sadly, though the game is free for the next two months, players cannot download or keep the game once the trial ends.
Instead, Valve offers something new for all fans of Gordon Freeman!
If you are already finished with all the games and DLCs of Half-Life from Half-Life, Half-Life 2, up to Half-Life 2: Episode One, and Half-Life 2: Episode Two.
Valve is excited to announce the launching of Half-Life: Alyx on Steam in March.
"The Half-Life: Alyx team believes that the best way to enjoy the new game is to play through the old ones, especially Half-Life 2 and the episodes, so we want to make that as easy as possible," said Steam.
Half-Life: Alyx storyline
Half-Life: Alyx is the upcoming installment of the Half-Life series. Though this next installment still has the same first-person shooter angle and developed by the same company, a lot of differences and updates are expected to be seen on its storyline.
Compared to the first installments of the game wherein players take the place of physicist Gordon Freeman to escape from the Black Mesa Research Facility and not be eaten and attacked by fighting aliens.
Half-Life: Alyx focuses on Alyx Vance, which was first seen on the 2nd installment and known ally of Freeman, and her adventures to keep safe from all attacking aliens. She will be partnered with her father, Eli that will help her to fight Combine, an alien empire that dangers planet Earth and all people living on it.
Half-Life: Alyx -- a virtual reality game
Designers of the game already explained that Alyx will not be an episodic game but more like a continuation of what happened last on Half-Life 2.
Since the last installment of this game was launched in 2007, Valve said that the game would be using virtual reality gear to follow with the trend.
Half-Life: Alyx is what Valve described as the company's 'flagship' virtual reality game. This game was developed by the company's own Source 2 engine and can support all PC-compatible devices available.
So, if you haven't played any Half-Life games from the past, this is the perfect time to try out this game until Half-Life: Alyx comes in March.
