Ranking of HL games

[loshmy]

Can you rank HL games from best to worst by your opinion?

Here is my ranking:
1. Half-Life (obviously)
2. Opposing Force
3. Half-Life 2
4. Half-Life 2 Ep 2
5. Half-Life 2 Ep 1 (I found it way less interesting than HL 2 and HL2 Ep2)
6. Blue Shift (good idea of playing as Barney, but still no new stuff, less weapons, same old enemies and stuff and short walkthrough, felt like a mod tbh)
7. Half-Life Decay (literally the most pointless Half-Life, is HD-pack only and the co-op was kind of annoying)

I didn't include remakes like HL:Source and Black Mesa, and demos like Uplink and Lost Coast. Your turn now bros... 🙃

1- HL1:
No explanation necessary, a timeless classic that is still relevant.

2- HL2: EP2:
You can see a tiny speck of effort being made to return to form, more dependant on creatures and a bit of horror, but ultimately it is not enough. Also, thanks to its episodic nature, it is too short.

3- OP4:
I used to love it, but as years pass I got annoyed by many of Gearbox's design choices. Too many weapons, rehashes of the old enemies, pointless addition of RaceX while we have one alien force already, sometimes goofy tone, pointless easter eggs, terrible enemy sounds, pointless allies with dialog that is way overacted, needlessly inventing black ops and making the assassin be a part of it when she was clearly with the grunts in the first place etc. etc.

4- HL2:
Decent playtime but too flawed and different than the first game to be a good sequel. Weapons and enemy variety is garbage and nearly every level is forgettable. There is a reason people keep bringing up Ravenholm chapter because it provides everything that was present in the first game and missing in this sequel: Horror, a great memorable map, more action and less game stopping forced dialog sections. HL2 wouldn't be as popular today if it wasn't a great tech demo and one of the first in its field. It is higher than EP1 only because of its more varied gameplay and longer length.

5- BS:
Feels like a very high quality old-school mod and I love HL mods. Great maps and well made scripted sequences.

6- HL2: EP1:
Adds nothing to the formula while also being another babysitting mission. It has boring maps and it's grand finale is an escort mission that you have to do several times.

7- Decay:
Maps are not exciting and if you take out the Co-op gimmick it doesn't have much. There are countless mods that are more fun and engaging.

I didn't know if i should put HL1 or HL2: EP2 first. One of the only real flaws in HL2: EP2 for me, is that it's too short. However, all the atmosphere and lore the game adds really makes me love it, same for HL1.

Half-Life
Half-Life 2: Episode Two
Half-Life: Opposing Force
