Half-Life 2

Thought this game was amazing when I first played it, but in hindsight I find myself vastly preferring its prequel. The guns are far less diverse and less interesting, enemies have shittier ai and variety, and level design is too linear and set piece oriented. The level gimmicks are amusing at first, but it becomes a bore once you realize you're mostly just fighting generic human enemies who mostly just run at you in a straight line. It's a relatively good shooter, but the best of all time? Nah.

Still a great game today.

Oh my god this was such a game-changer for me. I spent SO much time just dicking around throwing stuff and messing with the physics engine before I even started the story properly, and then it blew my mind over and over.

All-time PC classic, still great today but also hard to rate after all this time

just legend

Valve’s physics-driven revolution still shines with its immersive world, gravity gun chaos, and silent storytelling. Ravenholm’s horror and the Highway 17 trek are iconic, though some vehicle sections drag, and the lack of traditional cutscenes can feel sterile.

Un obligatorio.

hard to find any flaws with this game. I will always remember certain parts of this. not sure they could have done any better here, and for 2004, its remarkable

Advances in-game physics to a new level and presents some memorable set pieces, but is held back by bland characters and a story that goes nowhere.

Innovative, brilliant, and fun. A great game at launch.
