This game might have a better looking, younger sibling but it's still a more complex, fulfilling experience. More skills, more weapons, more locations. No broken scripts. More dialogue, more easter eggs, more concequences. No BS base building mechanics to fill the world. In what other game a 10-year old can hurt your 1 INT protagonists' feelings? The game then allows you to get back at the child by saying that he/she is not invited to a CAKE party! Thanks for the experience, Interplay!

In the age of flashy shooters like Borderlands 2, Doom 3 and Wolfenstein, Half-Life's innovative approach to level design and gameplay mechanics is not as fresh as it was back in 2004. The market has much to offer both in conventional and horror shooter subgenres. But then again, it's been 14 year and the impression HL2 left on game creators can be easily seen in modern shooters. It's lore is huge and expands far beyond the game itself. Remember all the speculations surrounding the endings of each episode? I know you do! Also, who the hell is G-man? How come Gordon is the right man in the wrong place? What does the fate have in store for the characters? Please Valve. We need to know. The legendary game is beautifully built, and has stood the test of time (and I am not talking about game mechanics or graphics). Gordon Freeman is still above Gordon Ramsey in Google top searched after all! The Source engine is used even today, many of the mod creators who built the communities around the game are now fullfledge gamedevs. What else could you ask of a game, that would someday be a history book material along with it's prequel and it's creators? Once upon a time this game blew my mind. If by some miracle we ever see Half-Life 3 it will, unfortunately, fall short of all the hype surrounding it.

This is truly an exeptional game. You'll spend no less than 70 hours on it, but the feeling of living a different life in a country far far away, with school friends and epic events will haunt you for months after the game is finished.
