Reviews
A nostalgic game that will be cherished for generations
Today, it's hard to imagine how much Half-Life stood out from the majority of shooters of its time. Valve showed that a shooter could be not just a series of gunfights, but a full-fledged adventure with a whole world, an interesting plot and constant change of game situations. Many solutions that are now perceived as the norm became popular precisely because of Half-Life. Continuous presentation of the plot, scripted events right during the game, an attempt to make the environment believable and link all levels into a single journey - all this was later used by dozens of other developers. In fact, Half-Life was one of those games that divided the genre into "before" and "after."
Me gusto, ahora saquen el 3.
words cannot describe my utter frustration with this game i love having to save scum every 15 seconds to be able to make any tangible progress i love having half of my entire health gone in half a second
афигенная игра, прошёл за 9 часов, всем советую
The best game of all time. It is still enjoyable even after 25+ years!
Title is not clickbait. I was at half-life the whole game.
大为震撼,如果行业的游戏都这么好玩, 哪还来电子阳痿一说
Half-Life me parece una auténtica aberración de juego. Nunca he conseguido entender por qué tanta gente lo considera una obra maestra, porque a mí me resulta aburrido, frustrante y excesivamente sobrevalorado. Sus mecánicas se sienten anticuadas, algunas zonas son desesperantes y el ritmo se hace pesado en demasiados momentos. Jugarlo es más una prueba de paciencia que una experiencia divertida. Respeto que tenga una enorme importancia histórica y que muchos lo disfruten, pero, en mi opinión, está muy lejos de ser el juegazo que tantos dicen. Personalmente, no volvería a jugarlo ni aunque me pagaran. Que tanta gente crea que esto es un buen juego refleja lo mal que esta la sociedad porque gente como Adam fergougui alias "orejón" o "Falafel" o Eneco Cano Poza alias "tetitas de azucar" o como muchos lo llaman "sr Susto" les gusta este tipo de juegos, cabe decir que solo me he pasado esta vazocia por 1€ a cambio de que me lo pasara antes q el Falafel. En resumen El sr Susto me debe 1€ en digital
this game is amazing but is really pushing my computer to the limits
