Grab your crowbar and pick up that can, citizen; Half Life 2 is going to be a heck of a ride!
Half Life 2 is the second game in the wildly popular Half Life franchise, where you pick up the story of research scientist Gordon Freeman as he attempts to evade head-crab infested patrols and save the world.
One of the most interesting features of this game is that the environment, enemies and even friends react to the presence of the player. Even if you’re hidden from view they’ll feel like something is off and become more alert, making this a much more challenging and immersive game.
That being said, this game does have some flaws like the lack of squad-based AI tactics and slow vehicle missions that feel more like filler rather than vital to the game.
Other than that, this is a stunning cult classic with beautiful graphics and a real strong premise that has captivated people for over a decade! If you want to play through a piece of gaming history and see where it all began, definitely check this one out.
Pros
- Cutting Edge Graphics for the Time The graphics in this game still rivals many new releases, especially if you install enhancement mods.
- Immersive Storyline and Gameplay Everything in the environment reacts to you, and a storyline that puts you front and center in the middle of an intergalactic war is always fun.
Cons
- No Squad-Based Tactics for Enemy AI Enemy AI works more on an individual basis versus a squad basis, which can be a bit less challenging than modern games.
- Vehicle Missions Are Slow They can be boring and frankly feel a little tacked on.
