Ben Plays VR – Halo, Minecraft, and Headcrab Dance Clubs! – Half-Life: Alyx Mods (Part 2)

Hello my friends and welcome back to the video series where we showcase new and noteworthy halflife alex mods today is all about custom maps 13 creative and fun maps to play all of them combined adds up to over 6 hours of gameplay here we go Club 17 is the half-life nightclub

You’ve always wanted headcrab zombies on the dance floor with combined djs driving the beats at first i thought this was just a silly experiment but it actually surprised me and transformed into a legit spy mission with ingenious story elements I highly recommend it play time is about 15 minutes Alex plays minecraft is rather self-descriptive enjoy a small Alex level set within a Minecraft world there’s a happy main level in a spooky subterranean level inside the mines it’s short but it does have its own charm I beat in about eight minutes half-life 2d to underscore prison underscore is zero for ya

That’s actually the name of the map but to be fair it perfectly describes what it is that’s the name of the original half-life 2 map that this is a port of the environments of this map might provide some nostalgia for you as you blast away at waves of combine infesting

The prison the start of the map provides you with all the weapons and lots of resin for upgrades as well the map author still has more plans for this in the future but for now it feels like we’re one tiny step closer to playing half-life 2 in the Alex engine I got

About 10 minutes of play out of this map spaceport is based off the halo 3 multiplayer map known as orbital and it’s been transformed into a unique space adventure it features custom props and puzzles and also has a dynamic halo soundtrack but of course even though you’re in space you’re still running into

Headcrabs and combine there’s just no avoiding these guys playtime is about 30 minutes and it’s a nice refreshing take on half-life Alex Maps City 17 a breakout alex is on a mission to attack a combine outpost to steal a dropship to escape the city out of the gate let me just say this is the best custom map I’ve played thus far the level layouts are unique and refreshing the puzzles are challenging but not too

Hard there’s just enough searching and uncertainty to make you curious on how to progress but not so much that it gets frustrating and you’ll even encounter new technology and mechanics that weren’t in the original game this map is so well made that you can easily convince me it belongs in the original

Campaign the map creator even took voice lines from the campaign and spliced them to fit the storyline in this map I got almost an hour of play out of this and I highly recommend it Nexxus incursion infiltrate a combine security outpost to retrieve a top-secret disk and then return it to the start of the level it’s all based around a central courtyard area that’s nicely detailed and well thought out and throughout your mission you’ll be returning to the courtyard many times as new areas are

Unlocked and additional enemies appear the theme of infiltrating a security outpost feels legit as you witness NPCs being detained and interrogated inside the outpost I did get some performances using the core yard sometimes but nothing too terrible it’s a great little combat map with some pretty challenging moments I

Beat it about 30 minutes inhumane is unique among the other maps we’re featuring today because while most of the other maps are simply about combat inhumane tells a unique narrative as you play and that narrative is told without dialogue you’ll see a story unfold based on what you observe on your journey and

The tale this map tells can be a little disturbing but it’s incredibly well told and it totally took me in of course there is combat but it’s a little slower and more spread out so you’ll have time to observe and take in the story elements that’s all that I want to say

Without spoiling it it’s best if you experience it yourself playtime is about half an hour in quick stop Alex is forced to abandon her stolen car to travel on foot to hopefully by pass a monolithic combine security checkpoint and if she’s lucky Russell will arrange transportation on the other side and

Speaking of Russell the map offer did a great job of repurposing voice lines from the main campaign to fit the situations in this map oh it is dark big fan of this flashlight the well-placed voice acting is a nice polishing touch this miniature campaign has some of the most fresh level designs

That I’ve seen the level is constantly changing and you never know what’s around the corner as such there’s a surprising amount of variety in the environments you’ll have to traverse spooky underground hallways city streets rooftop battles and more I had a great time playing this and I think it’s a

Must download you can beat it about 30 minutes Béla more sky yes station is the scariest half-life Alex mod I played so far it was so scary that I couldn’t finish it what makes this especially terrifying is that you aren’t giving gravity gloves that combined with very limited ammo and visibility means that you’re forced to explore dark areas more

Than you would have if you had gravity gloves this is incredibly well made and if you like classic survival horror games then it’s a must play overcharge is just a good solid map dynamically laid out levels with ever-changing scenery and a full rich setting that

Makes the city feel live this is also a reson hunters dream come true there’s tons of hidden resin and oftentimes you’ll get a tease of Resident locations in sections you have yet to visit this is one of the most fun maps to just scavenge and look for hidden goodies and

It’s all capped off by intense combat fighting at the end it’s a great all-around map and you can get about 40 minutes of playtime out of it shakedown escape from an apartment building by descending down to the parking garage and taking the elevator sounds simple enough but it will not be easy

There’s a couple of spooky parts and if you hate poison headcrabs as much as I do then you’ll definitely get some scares out of this but the final battle of this map is thus far the most the difficult combined fight I’ve ever faced so even though this is technically one

Of the smallest maps on this list I think it feels much longer than it is because I died so much at the final battle it took me about 30 minutes to be police station raid has you starting out in the sewers and you need to find your

Way to the local combine station to infiltrate and cause mayhem the first part in the sewers was actually kind of spooky but once you’re in the station it’s intense combine action if you’re looking for a big prolonged challenge than this map is for you I beat it about 20 minutes

Survival waves is a small but well-thought-out wave shooter survival mode you know the drill with these modes waves of combine are out to get you and you need to survive for as long as you can in between waves crates are dropped with ammo better guns and resin for upgrades there’s an indestructible TV

That shows you wave progress and how much resin you’ve earned i found this pretty challenging because the combine come at you from three different directions and there’s explosive barrels all over the place so it’s easy to die quickly for a small but well-designed survival mode check it out well that’s it for now
