Half-Life 2

The sequel is a benchmark for a cult game. The second Halfa was ahead of its time, becoming a symbol of that very time, and, in a sense, like the first part, determined the vector of development of the gaming industry.

It would seem that we, in the role of the same silent Gordon Freeman, also suffering from a terrible corridor, are killing aliens (but not all of them). BUT we are no longer doing this on the territory of Black Mesa, but in the whole city and suburban areas. With the expansion of the scene of action, the plot became deeper and more interesting, and full-fledged characters appeared. The game has “grown” with everything it lacked. And what a leap it is in terms of graphics... And, of course, the gravity gun. Where would we be without her now?

Half-Life 2 is a first-person shooter. The game combines all the best

that was in shooters of that time. The game has gorgeous graphics, an exciting

plot, and an excellent soundtrack.

As I remember now, I was playing calmly with a robot dog in the backyard, throwing garbage left and right, when suddenly aggressive harvesters swooped in, I had to retreat to the creepy city of Ravenholm, where, as in the spleen song - My heart stopped, because that city swarmed with zombies on every corner.

In general, Half-life 2 was ideal for me, each location has its own atmosphere, remembering the same Ravenholm, it sank into my soul for a long time, and the soundtracks? The soundtracks are generally masterpieces for every scene, for every event in the game.

The dialogues and actions of the NPCs made us believe that this was truly a living game, a living world and a living universe.

The game earned a special place in my soul 10 out of 10

Making this game in 2004 is really cool. Legendary shooter from Valve. Here you have action, plot, and atmosphere. The graphics still look decent. Half-Life 2 won't let you get bored.

A wonderful illustration of how a story about saving your life develops into a full-fledged theatrical production in which minor characters, personalities, motivations appear... Soulless NPCs become so animated that you begin to empathize with them and worry.

From a very good shooter, the game turned into a first-rate blockbuster with a taciturn scientist in the title role. But, most importantly, we now have a goal.

The presentation of the plot has changed radically, merging into one whole with the gameplay, throwing up new problems and directions for activity, forcing us to get deeper and deeper into local confrontations.

And getting closer to trying to save everyone.
