Dr. Gordon Freeman doesn't speak, but he's got a helluva story to tell. This first-person roller-coaster initiated a new era in the history of action games by combining engrossing gameplay, upgraded graphics, ingenious level design and a revolutionary story that may not be all that it seems, told not through cutscenes, but through the visual environment.

On a whim, I decided to replay this game to see how I feel about it currently. While I still don't think it's perfect due to On A Rail and the Xen chapters really bringing the game down, I had a much better time with the game overall. Playing the sequels and Black Mesa along with being more familiar with FPS games greatly helped me appreciate this title even more. I continue to respect the game for being so innovative in many ways and managed to find new enjoyment in it now.
Esta muy bien pero hoy en dia esta mucho mejor el Black Mesa
One of the best games from my childhood. Half-Life is one of those few games that truly redefined the First Person Shooter genre. Ominous settings, creatures from other worlds, stellar visual narrative, besides of very fun gunplay mechanics that few games stand for nowadays.
Half-Life is a special game, pure history of videogames, really unique, and that's why for many reasons is still playable, even in the standards from today.
A game I very much recommend playing despite being almost 30 years old, but, if you're capable of ignoring that, I really think you'll love it. Specially if you like shooters as much as I do.

When I think of Retro PC Games HL is what comes to mind. This game released in 1998, it has a charm in its appearance that holds up nicely. I enjoyed the story experienced here in its unique environmental story telling. A silent protagonist learning the story through environmental interactions. The gameplay flows like butter and does a nice job letting you feel in control especially with its simple but effective UI. I had no problem managing gameplay while being immersed in the story. Now when it comes to replay-ability. This will go on my mind shelf ready to jump back in when I’m feeling nostalgic to simpler times!

Half-Life was an amazing game for it's time but nowadays I'd just recommend buying Black Mesa instead because its just Half-Life but more modern and enjoyable.
