    A game that everybody should play, this game done in the 90s does more things well than so much games actually

    The original Half-Life has such a good plot and setting it's a must play. Never before has playing as a scientist breaking zombies heads open with a crowbar felt so fun. The game also throws a few puzzles here and there which allow or some variety of gameplay so it isn't just zombie whacking.

    Half-Life is the single player First Person Shooter every fan of the genre needs to play. With clever puzzles, fun combat, and unique level design (minus the last level) that'll leave you wanting more once you're done. (Which we do get with it's even better sequel.)

    I played this game after outstanding sequel, which is on of the best FPS games ever made.
    It had it's charm, great story and shooting mechanics.
    Visual aspect in 2004 was little bit outdated, but for a game like this it had no influence on overall enjoyable playtrough.

    Competente, com boa gameplay e um worldbuinding interessante, Half Life é um dos clássicos do genêro e um jogo de padrão de qualidade Valve, entretanto seu bom level design nao envelheceu bem com plataformas bem quebradas.

    VERY IMPRESSIVE

    For the 98th it was definitely very good. Graphics, gameplay, storytelling. A story that still captivates to this day. Since I am a small fan of "X-Files", the game impressed me with this mystery. The only thing I didn't like and what made it a little boring to play was because you often don't understand where to go, what to do and stuff like that. In my opinion, it was    VERY IMPRESSIVE

The only thing I didn't like and what made it a little boring to play was because you often don't understand where to go, what to do and stuff like that. In my opinion, it was possible to leave at least a couple of inscriptions somewhere in the corner of the screen what to do next. I understand that before all the games were like that, so this is my personal pen.
    For the atmosphere and for the sake of curiosity, you can play even now, even though it will be 10 years later, it will always be relevant.    … Expand

    Для меня это лучший шутер всех времён. Первый, в котором была полноценная, интересная история. Первый, применивший многие инновационные как для своего времени технологии.

    In the FPS genre, the level of innovation of this title is only comparable to the first Doom (1993). It is a game that marked a before and after in its genre, and the starting point for fantastic mods.

    Although the graphics look outdated and the movement might feel a bit weird for newer players, I think this is still a masterpiece of a game.

    Ну это классика. Сто раз уже перепроходил. Лучшая игра 98 года (и не только). Ну в общем хорошо тут все, сюжет, атмосфера, графон, геймплей, музон, локации. Без проблем играется в наше время, никаких проблем с управлением. Короче, однозначно одна из лучших игр на планете. [9.5/10]Ну это классика. Сто раз уже перепроходил.

    Well, i'm starting my review career, since you can't see the titles you've rated on this site (shame), you can only see them if you've reviewed them.
    Anyway, there is not a lot to say about this game, it's immersive, it's awesome, it's great 10/10 would play again many many times.

    It isn't everyday that you come across a game that totally revolutionizes an entire genre, but Half-Life has done just that.

    The storyline runs in perfect harmony with the action and acts as a conduit not a stopgap, or a padding device. Each gaming element compliments the next and the entire presentation is nothing short of, well…dare we say it…revolutionary.
