If you're looking for an explanation of what you just witnessed or just want to know what happens without experiencing everything for yourself, here's what happens just before and after the credits role in Half-Life: Alyx.

Damn can't wait for 13 years from now when Half Life: Kleiner is released on Valves Neural Implant system and the scene is changed AGAIN such that Dr. Kleiner himself kills both the advisers with his bare hands

There were Half Life fans out there that died before seeing this.

Can we just appreciate the brilliance of Valve. Ending a game 13 years later at the exact same spot and everyone is totally happy with it LOL

HALF LIFE: MORE THAN 2, LESS THAN 4 CONFIRMED

The ending twist was exciting for sure. Keep in mind that Eli was about to tell us everything he knew about Gman and Black Mesa before he was killed. Now, in the next game, he's free to tell Gordon all he knows.

In an interview with the creators they said that they would like to make more Half Life games but it depended on the reception of this game... I'd say the reception has been PRETTY positive. HL3 confirmed!

So this was planned from the start, the g man wanted Eli to be killed so that he could make Alyx this offer because he couldn’t get to freeman.

i like how gman was like: oh thanks man here you get a free wish edit: yes i get it. it wasnt a free wish because he employed alyx and took her from eli

I just realized, if project borealis is still gonna be made. Then that means we're gonna get both endings to the Half Life series, the version where eli dies and the version where he survives

Eli: You did it? Alyx: Yes. Eli: What it cost? Alyx: Unforseen Consequences.
