The Destroyer of Worlds | The Strider | FULL Half-Life Lore

The Half-Life series has a ton of iconic creatures. The Strider is one of the most important out of all of these. They helped The Combine Empire conquer worlds, and after this, maintain control. Yet - the lore around them is still fairly limited. That was until Half-Life: Alyx released.

How powerful were these creatures? Where did they come from, and what was their connection to the Combine Hunter? In this video, we explore the lore and story behind The Strider in the Half-Life series.
