Professional Dev Created Great Fan-made Expansion for Half-Life: Alyx

A producer from Annapurna Interactive has prepared a fan-made expansion for Half-Life: Alyx. His work focuses on the story and exploration, while daring to compete with commercial DLCs.

Nathaniel "Polygrove" Grove - an artist and level designer at Annapurna Interactive - showed off a modification he created for Half-Life: Alyx. Re-Education is an interesting project, which is available to free download from Steam's Workshop.

The work enables us to once again take on the role of Alyx Vance, who, while traveling by train to the outpost located outside City 17, encounters a barricade of the Combine. The heroine will have to venture into the old school to find a mechanism to get rid of the obstacle standing on the tracks.

Re-Education is a polished item comparable to commercial DLCs. It is characterized by leisurely gameplay pace - the project is focused on the story, exploration and collecting items. Following the example of the previous mod by Nathaniel Grove, titled Half-Life: Incursion, in this case we are also dealing with a title that requires 30 to 60 minutes to be completed.

It is worth recalling that Half-Life: Alyx was developed by Valve with VR goggles in mind. The gamedebuted on PC in 2020.

At GRYOnline.pl, works in the Newsroom. He is not afraid to tackle various topics, although he prefers news about independent productions in the style of Disco Elysium. In his childhood, he wrote fantasy stories, played a lot on Pegasus, and then on a computer. He turned his passion into a profession as an editor of a gaming portal run with a friend, as well as a copywriter and advisor in a console store. He doesn't care for remakes and long-running series. Since childhood, he wanted to write a novel, although he is definitely better at creating characters than plot. That's probably why he fell in love with RPGs (paper and virtual). He was raised in the 90s, to which he would gladly return. Loves Tarantino movies, thanks to Mad Max and the first Fallout he lost himself in post-apo, and Berserk convinced him to dark fantasy. Today he tries his hand at e-commerce and marketing, while also supporting the Newsroom on weekends, which allows him to continue cultivating old passions.
