We've (mostly) all been waiting for it, and now it's finally there.





The official Half Life Alyx Game Commentary where the developers carefully explain the very details of how they designed the game, why and so on.

Pretty good if you're interested in learning a thing or two about how Valve thinks in their creative process, along with the Final Hours series.

i know they've got a spoiler warning for the commentary but im about to do my first playthrough, does the commentary spoil the story ahead or is it just for the chapter you're in

You basically play the entire game + commentary

What I meant was if you get spoiled for the entire game/story in the commentary, like are they gonna start talking about the ending when you listen to them in the early chapters

Just play the regular game, commentary isn’t that good anyway

not even worth a replay?

honestly I haven't played the game myself, I'm just watching the 2kliksphilip videos, but to myself, it seems really worth it. Valve gives a lot of insight on their development process and explain how they approached a lot of cumbersome difficulties in the game making process

Yeah that's what I was thinking too, I loved the commentary in hl2
