Only played the single player campaign, without mods or anything.
I grew up with Playstation consoles so I wasn't really into the games that everyone were playing in netcafés, including Half-Life.
Now I get why everyone loves this game so much.
I enjoyed this game more than any game published after 2018.
I felt the low poly, low res graphics made me focus more on the game instead of getting lost in debris. I now feel that games that want to look realistic give me sensory overload and I can't really get into the game.
I loved the supersonic movement speed of Gordon Freeman.
I naturally got into the habit of loading back to saves when I get hurt too much to improve the run of that particular section because this game is quite hard and you'll definitely need the HP.
Modern games suck, they should try to copy this game.
Thank you Valve for all the good things you've done to PC gaming.
