I’m not young. But 25 years after the hype, I am finally getting around to playing half life (1)! Stupidly missed the free action, but paid a few eurocents for it. They’re totally worth it! Awesome game, holds up very very well after two and a half decades!
Maybe it’s not your thing? IDK, I had a blast playing though those games (HalfLife 2 Episodes 1 & 2 as well,) they’re actually still installed on my PC because I revisit them once a year or so. It’s recommend giving it another spin if you can, there’s a decent story in there.
I also bailed somewhere around halfway through, though Black Mesa had me captivated the whole time (and I’m sure HL1 would’ve as well). I got to the point where you get a new ability (intentionally vague to not spoil anything), and you use that ability to get through enemy turrets.
I don’t dislike it, but it definitely lost whatever I really liked about the first game, which I think is a sense of urgency or something for me. In the first game, I felt like I was constantly on the run, whereas the second has a lot of breaks in the action without a clear idea of the plan. I’m guessing it’ll pick up soon, I just got a bit bored.
I’m guessing it has a solid story, but do far it’s not quite as good as the first.
