If you really must

A Half-Life Alyx mod that lets you play the game without VR has receiāved its "biggest update yet," opening up the full campaign to folks who can't or simply don't want to wear a headset.
Via , the Half-Life Alyx "NoVR mod" now lets you play through the entirety of Valve's 2020 VR darling just like it's a normal PC game. The mod has been available for a while, but according to theš · creators, this is the first time it's been playable from start to finish, complete with working gravity gloves, combine fabricators, weapon upgrades, and more.
Development on the mod is far from complete, and there's still work to be done before its creators are confident in calling it a "1.00 release." For example, there are still nine achievements you can't get in the mod that the developers are working to make earnable, and there are also plenty of updates for animations, the HUD, and miscellaneous interactions to be completed before the final release. As with any project this big, the developers will likely conź¦tinue ironing out bugs leading up to the full launch and beyond.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRašdar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
