The review was written while the game was still in development.
Valve seems to have given up on a sequel to Half-Life. But in vain. Everyone who played the first two parts is looking forward to the sequel. I understand the caution of the developers in this case. They are probably afraid that if they make a sequel it will not be as bright as the first two. Well, there’s no need to get fancy, just complete the story and go with the same characters. I sincerely hope that I’ll get to see part 3 in my lifetime. I'm really looking forward to it
