There's a reason why this game shipped as a VR-only title after all.

Perhaps more refined versions of this mod will arrive in the future, but nobody should expect this game to ever play like a normal non-VR game. This game's movement to too free-flowing to enable simple keybindings.Īs you can see from the video below, the movement within Half-Life: Alyx Non-VR is clunky at best, but at least the game is playable. These controls are far from intuitive, as should be expected from a VR-only game that has been converted to mouse/keyboard.

With this mod, Half-Life: Alyx can be controlled using a mouse/keyboard setup, with key bindings for the game being available on GITHUB. The modder has also released a seven-minute-long game video which showcases non-VR footage of Half-Life: Alyx. This full game playability comes thanks to the game modder r57zone, who has released a mod on GITHUB which allows other modders to analyse his code and makes his tool available to download for free. Half-Life Alyx hasn't been out for a month, and already, game modders have been able not just to get the game playing without a VR headset, but have allowed PC gamers to play through the entire game without a VR headset.
