Not this time, though… and it seems I’m not the only one thinking like that. It’s been years since I memorized World War Z tips in case one day they might come in handy, set up a bug-out bag in my house anticipating an earthquake, hoarded at least 3 months of supplies for a situation that requires hunkering down (useful nowadays!), learned how to make water filters and researched how people survived the Bosnian Wars of the 90s.Ĭonsidering my coping mechanisms and how easily I escape real life through gaming, I thought I’d jump at the opportunity to play Half-Life: Alyx.
Would you escape in a VR game designed to make you feel hunted down and paranoid?
