THE GAME ENDS ON ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER!?

Não há muito o que eu adicionar aqui já que basicamente tudo que tem no Half-Life 2 tem nesse aqui também.

A história continua logo após o fim da história do Half-Life 2. É uma história bem dinâmica e progressiva que faz sua jornada ficar divertida, interessante, mas difícil. No começo do jogo já foi avisado que sair da Cidadela podia ser uma tarefa impossível, e foi difícil mesmo terminar essa campanha, principalmente no último capítulo, onde você realmente deixa a Cidade 17.

Eu reclamaria da dificuldade dessa campanha, mas a dificuldade dessa campanha é justificável. Porém, pra mim ela se encerrou muito cedo, já que eu a completei em menos de 3 horas, ela dá um gosto de "quero mais".

Eu não gosto de ser uma fiscal de relacionamento, mas eu sinto que nesse jogo, o relacionamento de Gordon com a Alyx vem realmente se concretizando, mas eu não sinto que esse relacionamento está sendo bem construído, só parece que foi jogado ali de um jeito apressado. Tanto que em uma das últimas sessões do Half-Life 2, a Alyx falava que conhecia o Gordon há pouco tempo, mas que estava grata pela sua ajuda.

Enfim, não é uma reclamação, mas algo que eu queria pontuar aqui. Se os dois tiverem um relacionamento juntos, que seja bem construído durante a campanha inteira.

everything was good except for the part where you escort citizens and have to run back and forth like 6 times


it would be better than hl2 if it had the episode 2 flashlight

Weakest of the HL2 trilogy but not bad, just succeeded by the much better Episode Two

This was a disappointing one and emphasizes why I think endings are more important than beginnings. The beginning of this is pretty cool, you get some GMan stuff and the first indication that he isn't untouchable as well as some more Citadel gameplay and Alyx is a lot more emotive throughout. However, as you continue, it gets boring, but not super frustrating thankfully. It's especially boring when you get to the last mission where you must ferry people to a safe room, going back and forth each time for more survivors. Aside from that, it is not too bad, just disappointing.

Half-Life 2: Episode One is a great continuation of the Half-Life story and builds upon one of the weaker sides of the previous game. Episode One still uses all the great gameplay and story elements from the second game and uses them to create new and interesting experiences, but this time it also turns Alyx into a fully developed character. Alyx stays with you for a lot of this game and she is a great character to have around. She has a great personality that isn’t annoying and also actually takes out enemies in the many gun fights. Exploring the city with Alyx is just as enjoyable as before and seeing how everything is falling apart adds to the atmosphere you feel in all of the Half-Life games. Half-Life 2: Episode One continues with what makes Half-Life 2 so great with more of everything and when it's this good, there’s not much more you could ask for.

pretty cool continuation of hl2, short, but sweet overall. The dynamic with alyx is pretty fun, and it's still just as great as hl2 is.

Just to be safe I'm going to give this a 4 and a half since I haven't played it in a bit. While this isnt a bad game, its great, its just not as good as the other two from the half life 2 trilogy. The thing that half life 2 and its episodes do incredibly well is atmosphere, this game has one hell of an atmosphere, especially in the enclosed areas. Its the worst out of all 3 half life 2 games, but is still incredibly good and a must play.

Não sei se estava com as expectativas erradas, mas senti que o jogo foi um pouco mais do mesmo, apesar de ter introduzido um inimigo novo, o "Zombine", que é mais forte e mais rápido que os zumbis normais. Porém, de resto, tudo igual. Esse Episódio 1 também não avança quase nada em termos de história, só mostra que o Gordon escapou do G-Man e a Alyx sobreviveu, aí são basicamente 3 ou 4 horas andando pela Cidade 17, desativando as coisas e ajudando uns reféns até eles escaparem. Curto, mas um pouco repetitivo, especialmente se tiver acabado de zerar o 2 como eu fiz. A parte do hospital é a mais maneira, mas ainda não muito memorável pra ser honesto. Também não curti muito o tempo que levou pro Gordon pegar uma arma de verdade. Por mais que a Gravity Gun overpower seja muito legal, não devia ser usado a exaustão desse jeito depois de ter sido um payoff tão daora no último nível do segundo.
No geral, acho que seria um jogo um pouco entediante se a Alyx não estivesse junto.
Porém, é Half-Life, não tem o que reclamar além desses detalhes.

Cool level pack, was a lot more glitchy than the base game for me though. In spite of praising the gravity gun earlier I think I would've liked some more real guns here too

So glad the concept of episodic releases is dead. This game is far too short and doesn't contribute to Half Life at all.

i seriously adore the extra chapters for both hl1 and 2, and i really think this is just another example of valve showing how far they came even in the few years between the release of hl2 and episode one. it doubles as an incredible story and a showcase of new mechanics. i'm looking forward to seeing what episode two offers.

Algo corto pero que te deja con ganas de más :3

Kinda crazy how far ahead of their time Valve was for escort characters.

Gameplay: Good
Story: Good
Controls: Good
Graphics: Good (for its time)
Length: A bit short

Fordon Greeman ama bi' türlü ölemiyor.

It's good enough for what it's trying to be. Nothing really game changing here, just more Half-Life, which is cool. Really short and kinda uncompelling in the narrative department, while still managing to feel rather repetitive and dull at parts. Alyx is still great, and here you get to spend a bit more time with her through the story, and there are some cutscenes that offer some real spectacle and scale. I just don´t see how this adds anything of consequence to the Half-Life series as a whole. It´s not the next step, it´s a bit more of the same.

The music score goes insanely hard though.

my favorite of the half life 2s

Still need to finish this, I know it won't take a while. But is it even worthy? I know it's gonna end with a cliffhanger with Episode 2, and since I'm mentally preparated for the Golden Sun one, idk with Half-Life. Sure, there'll be Alyx. Y'know, a VR game.


acho meio caído esse episódio tipo zombine wtf

Bem curto, e não teve tanta coisa, foi mais uma conclusão

this is game 17/71 of my backlog.

This is a pretty meh game, if half life were a franchise known for it's difficulty i would have no doubt that this game would be quite frustrating. There is way more than just one section where you walk into a room filled with explosives and can't have enough time to escape before it all goes to shit, the telegraphy of what you need to do (specially in the early parts where we're trying to fix the core) is really bad, but somehow i got it without too much trouble, felt like luck though, but at least the later parts are a bit better at it.

overall, this game is okay, it works, it's also insanely short, i beat it in a little less than 3 hours.
