Wooooww! That was one hell of a ride, where do i start?! Well, background history on the Half Life series (My point of view that is) – I didn’t enjoy Half Life to be honest, frankly I’m not sure why, i hated the puzzle solving that’s for sure. Half Life 2 was the breakout, it was the point when i started to immerse myself into the storyline, okay more like Half Life 2 immersed ME into the storyline. Although i really didn’t enjoy the puzzle solving, i would usually get headaches and end up taking breaks or resort to… ‘noclip 1′ , hehehe =) besides that, the story was the driving force between the start and the stop. I started to realize how… robust this game is at Episode 1, but it just finished before i started.
Now, here i am – just finished Episode 2 (YES! I know! It’s VERY late), words cannot describe how beautiful, innovative, smartly pulled off the game is. The sound quality was brilliant compared to previous Half Life installments. The bass rocking the room when strider’s were patrolling the room just made it that much more realistic, the roars of the guardian or hunter, nothing less of astonishing. There were a perfect blend of emotions – sad, fear, blissfulness, anger etc. all packed into a 5~6 hour package. It might be the best single player game I’ve played yet.
