He’s gruffer, older like in Half-Life 2, and he’s not calling for Alyx he’s calling for Gordon. It’s Eli but noticeably different from how he’s sounded for the rest of the game. The game transitions to the credits with a nod to Half-Life 1’s ending, leaving you with your jaw on the floor and plenty of questions you don’t think will be answered in the Half-Life: Alyx ending…Įxcept, toward the end of the credits, you hear a voice. Eli picks himself up, alive and well, but is clearly in search of something.Īlyx prepares to leave but G-Man informs her that, in return for this favor, she now works for him. Only now, G-Man reverses the scene just a few moments, giving Alyx a chance to kill the Combine. In that infamous cliffhanger from 2007, Gordon and Alyx are about to set out on a new mission when a Combine attack kills her father, leaving Alyx cradling him in her arms. Suddenly, Alyx is subject to an out-of-body experience and time travels to end of Half-Life 2: Episode 2. She immediately requests getting the Combine off of Earth but G-Man declines, reasoning that that is too big of a push. In return for his release, G-Man grants Alyx one favor. Only upon opening it does she discover that it’s not Gordon at all the Combine have actually captured G-Man, the mysterious supernatural figure that stalks Gordon in past Half-Life games, still fitted with his iconic blue business suit and black briefcase. Once Alyx passes through this area and makes quick work of some final Combine soldiers, she gets to Gordon’s containment cell. There she initially discovers a surreal facsimile of different buildings, presumably within City 17, following a ghostly figure. The Vault promptly crashes and Alyx is able to get onboard. Thus they set off to save him.Īlyx decouples the cables powering the Vault (with the help of some friendly Vortigaunts) and a backup power generator. Everyone immediately assumes it’s Gordon Freeman, the protagonist of Half-Life and Half-Life 2. Then Alyx learns (via a nod to future games) it is in fact, a living being. At first they suspect it’s a superweapon. Alyx’s father, Eli, discovers that the Combine are keeping something inside the Vault. Much of Alyx’s story sees the titular character trying to reach the Vault, a floating behemoth hovering above City 17, kept airborne by a set of massive cables surrounding it. You play as Alyx Vance, a member of a resistance group fighting back against the rule of an evil alien race known as the Combine. As you probably know by now, Half-Life: Alyx is a prequel set before the events of Half-Life 2 and its episodic expansions.
