Now Playing: Half Life Alyx - Official Gameplay Announcement Trailer
But just how long is that? According to HowLongToBeat, Half-Life 2 takes 13 hours to finish the main campaign. You can add another six and a half hours if you're a completionist. For comparison, the original Half-Life takes 12 hours to complete, or 15 hours if you want to experience everything the game has.
The Game Awards show host Geoff Keighley said that he has "seen [Alyx] in multiple stages of development" and his playthrough took him "over 15 hours" to go through the "full-blown Half-Life experience."
