What I expected to be a neat little sequel to A Fisherman's Tale with a couple more puzzles, ended up being a beautiful game about love, acknowledging your past, legacy and cherishing memories, with some of the most boundary-breaking puzzle mechanics I've seen in virtual reality, PERIOD.

Alyx was such a big hit because of the graphics, sound, characters, voice acting, but there was a lot of things to do with your hands and I want more VR Games to do that.
