    half life 2 is a game that has shaped the history of the game. It is a great game with great graphics, gameplay and details according to its period. The absence of dialogue of our main character gordon puts you in the place of the main character.

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше»Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло.

    If you like first-person shooters and a good story then this game is well worth your time. It's aged very well and can still be enjoyed to this day. The physics are fun to play with and the characters are well written.

    De los mejores FPS de toda la historia. Controles, soundtrack, dirección de arte, historia, personajes y sobre todo, una jugabilidad exquisita. Una obra maestra del medio, que ha envejecido fantásticamente, siendo a día de hoy, un ejemplo a seguir dentro de la industria

    The phisics system was astonishing, i remember this game changed the industry forever and now i can see it, i see how it changed the way videogames can implement Physics in Gameplay. The only negative thing is that there is no "Half life 3"....

    Even in the current year 2023, the graphics of this game look stunning, shooting weapons in Half Life has always been more enjoyable than in the new parts of Call of Duty, the characters look like real ones and are always fixed in our hearts. In short, the game is perfect in every way.

    A super fun adventure with a ton of unique physics-based weapons that are fun to use, and regular guns that are weightless. The campaign is long and memorable, but ultimately the combat mechanics outstay their welcome. If not for the gravity gun the game would be solidly mediocre.

    Half-Life 2 is more than just a sequel to a good shooter. Half-Life 2 provides an immersive, atmospheric experience within City 17 and is a shining example of what good developers can achieve when they work hard. They raised the standards for the shooter-genre so high with this masterpiece. I wish more games were as good as HL2 is. This is by far my favourite Valve-Game. Thank you Valve!

    The game was completed after playing the first part. I definitely liked the second part. The graphics are good for their year and the plot can be liked by someone. From myself I give 8 out of 10.

    This is the only game that i can play again and again without getting bored. It has it all: great gameplay, great story, very well-shaped characters and dialogue and an epic soundtrack. Playing this game really puts you in a specific state of mind. Long live Gordon Freeman and his trusty crowbar!

    Guys, we're talking about one of the most beautiful first-person shooters (FPS) ever created in history, and it has no equals. It's a milestone in the genre. I played and completed it entirely on PC when it was released in the late '90s, after also completing the first one (which was fantastic). No movie or any other video game can come close to the greatness of Half-Life 2.    … Expand

    An ephemeral and controversial ending, along with the few issues described above, means that for me, Half-Life 2, while a compelling and highly enjoyable game, falls short of the size of impact that the first title had on the gaming world.

    A graphics overhaul delivers detailed facial animations and sophisticated physics that leave battle zones strewn with debris after intense shootouts with shuffling corpses, overfed curstaceans and other assorted foes. [October, p.37]
