HL+ was my only intro to the series. I scooped it up at a used game store when I was digging through some loose carts in a bin. I have really enjoyed it and I considered getting the ps2 version but I read that the controls were a bit more clunky and there were some quality of life improvements in it.
Comparing 7 to HL+, it’s hard for me to pick the better game. HL+ reminds me a ton of the old title Fury3, I think because the ground is mostly just flat bitmaps. That’s a heavy nostalgia factor for me because my dad and I used to play that game quite a bit. I thought the updated graphics in 7 would put me off but they’ve been nice. Plus the thin story is a little enjoyable.
I think it’s harder to stall in HL+ than 7 but that might just be because I have a bigger controller? The plane customization in 7 is overwhelming to me compared to the limited options in HL+ but others might like that. After about 10ish hours in each game, I’d say they are just about equal to one another. I think I’ll try to finish HL+ first and then go back to 7 so I don’t get too confused with the controls switching back and forth.
I just checked out the gameplay of HL+ and I have to say: I didn’t expect it to look like a “normal” AC game. I don’t know why nor what I expected it to be like but that was a neat surprise. Thanks for your thoughts too!
Honestly, I didn’t find the plane customisation in AC7 to be particularly important to be honest. I feel like it’s a bigger deal in multiplayer but in campaign there’s no real point of stressing about it - being able to play does more to affect the experience than stat improvements (or at least that was the case for me). I’d be curious to read how you liked it once you’re done with the game.

It’ll take me a bit because I’m swamped with work and want to finish HL+ first but I’ll try to follow up.
No pressure, I have no intention of demanding follow-ups from people. Take your time and have fun, that’s what’s important.
