MODERATORS
I've played HL1 and HL:Alyx but never played HL2. Maybe I should stop being an asshole and change that finally.
It's really good, even today. If you've kept up with linear FPS games that iterated on the formula you might think it's a little dull, but if you haven't played a lot of those you'll likely still be impressed by how good the game design is.
half life 2 is still very worth the playthrough, and is consistently a dollar on steam. I'm still waiting for a reason to adopt VR beyond Alyx, which is the only game I really want to play. Maybe some horror games would be fun, but eh, no killer apps yet.
Still holds up, and we still don't go to Ravenholm.
