This is another case where giving this and Half-Life 1 both 5 stars feels weird. I liked this one better because of the expansion on the narrative, but I really liked the older feel of the first game. I'm very excited for the DLC, and I'm now joining the waiting list for the 3rd game. These games are very unique in the sense that they're not open world, and it's just constant objective. You could easily pick up this series and play it from start to finish, and if you look at my game history for this year, I damn well have.
