I like this a lot more than most for some reason. I think the world they created just around this fireplace is really interesting, I hope they expand upon it in the future.

Probably the most mind-blowing game I've ever played. And I'm not really even into card games.

So heartbreaking that there was never an episode three. Probably the biggest cliffhanger in any video game ever.

Not quite as strong as every other Half-Life entry but still really good

Half-Life 2 is probably the best game ever. Revolutionary for it's time. Valve always sets the bar for the video game industry. This game was years ahead of anything else that came out around 2004.

For video games, I think you have to take in to account the time it was released. Half-Life was released in 1998 and there wasn't anything like this at the time. This level of storytelling through the world and the characters was unheard of at the time. Revolutionary game.

I'm not joking with I say that this game taught me patience. It's not about the fact that you fell all the way to the bottom, its the fact that you'll be able to get to where you fell from much faster now because you've improved. This game literally made me a better person.

The impact on internet culture this had is insane.

Solid story, good looking environment. Some of the writing wasn't the best. Overall really liked it though.

Xen is like a whole second game.

Really good game that was almost great. I like how they went a different direction after the first two.

It just doesn't add or change enough from the original. I also hate the 'defend the Little Sister' segments of the game too.

Classic

Great story, beautiful open world, loved Alexios as a character. Open world aspect was repetitive but fun.

Easily the best story and character writing in any game ever.
