Relaꦬted: Xbox Game Pass Is Actually GOOD For Sales

In life, there are only a few guarantees: death, taxes, and fans who demand the release of Half-Life 3. After the cliff hanger ending of Half-Life 2: Episode 2 way back in 2007, fans have been clamoring for a conclusion to Valve's epic tale. In the near 13 years since the release ཧof the game, many of even the most faithful fans had given 💜up hope on ever getting a satisfying conclusion to the tale.

While Half-Life Alyx is a prequel to Half-Life 2, it can't help but reignite the belief that we will someday play a part three to the story. But putting aside the desire for part 3 for a moment, Alyx more than lived up to the Half-Life name. It is considered by many to be the 🏅first killer-app for VR.

The game has been met by near-universal acclaim by both fans and critics alike, which is becoming a much rarer phenomenon in the world of entertainment. This bodes well for Half-Life 3 and other games in the series, as Valve has said they were waiting to see the response to Alyx before committing to more Half-Life games.

If you do want to take advantage of the savings, you have until July 9th to do so. After that, it gওoe🧸s back up to its $59.99 price point.
