"This is it." Those are the words you'll be saying or feeling in your mind when playing Half-Life 2. I was feeling this during each of the ten playthroughs of this magnum opus of Valve. The best game I have ever played.

Its fear of the unknown atmosphere and fascinating story reach stellar quality levels. This game collects all the great things that matter in video games and expands them to extremely high levels of polishment, epicness, and pure awesomeness. The result is perfect gameplay, perfect graphics, perfect audio, everything quite perfect, abundant in extreme quality, which you will never forget — one of the most outstanding achievements of the video game industry.

I don't know what to add. Even when I replayed this game for the tenth or so time, I had a wonderful time. Thanks to its perfectly utilized physics engine, the game has a believable world overflowing with interactivity. The Gravity Gun is one of the best weapons/tools of all time. Every second modern game has some player physics interaction and maybe even some sort of telekinesis ability. Still, I have yet to witness such seamless implementation like the Gravity Gun of Half-Life 2. This game also possesses a unique, exotic, and other-worldly soundtrack of the highest appeal that I always like to listen to from time to time. Plus, I will never forget the voice of the Overwatch and all the other amazing iconic sounds of this masterpiece.

10/10

+ everything (story, characters, music, physics, graphics), love for a lifetime
- some of the levels might subjectively seem repetitive and long



And now, the unofficial anthem (IMHO) of Half-Life 2: Triage at Dawn |Remix| Path of Borealis

I've unlocked all achievements! 11 of 11 (100%): Achievements list
