/λ/ - Half-Life

Just beat Episode 1, it wasn’t horrible but it felt like pure filler for something more interesting. Also the final fight of escorting the civilians to the train was boring as fuck
Episode 1 is a lot worse than episode 2 just by virtue of not really taking you to any new areas, the second half of it just feels like an extension of anti-citizen one. Ep1s citadel isn't much better since you immediately get the blue gravity gun which just boils down to pressing one button and instantly killing the enemy, so most of the actual gameplay is a bunch of crappy puzzles involving energy orbs. The mines/caves and forest distinguish ep2 from hl2 a lot better. Zombine are cool tho I like them.

I didn't mind having more time with the blue gravity gun, yeah it's a bit mindless but I wanted a bit more time with it at the end of the base game anyway. But yeah basically everything you do in this game is something you've done before in the base title, except now Alyx is now invincible and does a lot of the work for you unlike how she and Barney were in the base game, making the expansion feel a lot less engaging.

The episode barely has any plot either. They set some shit up at the start of the game with Alyx getting the mysterious drive but then they leave that plot point a cliffhanger until Episode 2. Thank Fauci Valve at least got to Episode 2 before giving up otherwise this might be one of the worst cliffhangers in gaming history

I played episode 2 during the HLX hopium stuff and it really felt like my hand was being held the entire time, probably because eli's chimpanzee daughter literally wants to hold your hand.

I hope they aren't just edging the goyim this time
This isn’t the Raising the Bar reprint
(I’d care a bit more if I actually got through Alyx but I’ve only played the first couple chapters on some dogshit Vive headset my college had and I’m waiting for the Frame to get one of my own. I could just play it without VR but it doesn’t seem very fun as a flat game)
