Where episode 1 was weird and just like an extra footnote to HL2, not really doing much interesting gameplay-wise, barely leaving City 17 at all, episode 2 really pushes the plot forward and does it much better than episode 1. The gameplay and level design is much cooler in this one with the forest environments, vortigaunt partner, and extended usage of the car (which I loved playing around with). Hunting grubs was pretty fun in the mines (though I missed around 20), but the intense focus on antlions throughout like 60% of the game was a bit strange. One thing that annoyed me was the strider defense segment near the end- I ended up working it out fine, but it was quite annoying at first especially with the horde of hunters that would just shoot the bomb out of your hands. In all, super good game and is furthermore retroactively even more interesting due to the ending of Half Life Alyx.

Tek sorunu kısa olması. Episeode 1'deki gibi basit ve uğraşılmamış hissettirmiyor. Yeni düşmanlar, kritik hikaye parçaları, eğlenceli görevler...

I don't know how a Dodge Charger made its way to Eastern Czechoslovakia and frankly I do not care

I don't know what else I can say about this, really.

Just more Half-Life 2 with maybe some more exciting moments and set pieces. I really like killing the striders with the weird bomb ball thingy.

UUuuuhh...Yeah that's it, I didn't really grow that attached to these characters, so the cliffhanger ending didn't make me lose any sleep. Although maybe that is just because I know that we will never get a Half-Life 3, so I just don't give a shit about the story.

Continuando os eventos de Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two consegue trazer uma baita experiência que eu diria ser tão boa e (em partes) melhor que o Half-Life 2, com um final bem empolgante que faz até o mais cético rezar para termos um final. Só esperarmos Gabe Newell parar de ganhar dinheiro com CS2 e Dota 2 :)


Buenísimo casi tan bueno como el principal

P.D puto gnomo maricon de mierda gilipollas vete tu al puto cohete subnormal de los cojones

The best half life "game" in my opinion. Feels like a more trimmed down version of hl 2 with more memorable moments and loactions. Alyx is also much less of a nuiscene here than in episode 1. Some things just dont really clik with me here though not really the games fault just not my type of game.

holy shit fuck that gnome faggot

UM CRIME o que a valve fez vai tomar no cu

surely half life 3 will come out soon

every part of this game is perfect... please Gabe, release Half Life 3....

quintessential half life 2 experience the ending farts my dick in half episode 3 when

This is such an upgrade compared to ep1 it's actually insane. The little over 4 hour experience I had in this game was more enjoyable than all of hl1 and that is insane. The level and mission design is so more iconic than ep1 and the new gimmicks also are so much more enjoyable to play around with. The ending too is just insane. The last hour experience is probably my favourite sequence of missions in a HL game. If you haven't played this game, whether you just haven't gotten around to it a bit or were turned off by the kinda underwhelming experience of ep1, playing this game should be your top priority as it is so barely close to being as good as HL2

better than episode 1! but man what a terrible way to end the game for how long people have waited for another half-life game :(

ana oyunlardan sönük fakat episode 1den güzel, son fightı kim düşündüyse allah onu kahretsin

drags more than ep1 (they just couldn't help themselves including another gd turret arena) but the plot really thickens in this one and the final sequence is extremely cool.

Better than Episode 1, but since I'd still say the original Half-Life 2 is the best one, great campaign that remains consistent from beginning to end, getting 100% can be tiresome if you miss something (thank god i somehow managed to get all grubs on the first try)

Best game in the halflife series but i dont like strider fight

Mi sa che non ci sarà un episode three.

half-life 2, 2 electric boogaloo

cliffhanger got me hanging off a cliff


* New enemies and vehicles that greatly expand the combat sandbox
* Exceptional set pieces (antlion hive, autogun approach, first encounter with the hunters)
* Valve finally made fighting striders tolerable

I get it now

I loved this one wayyy more than Episode 1, just overall way more memorable and enjoyable to me. Get fucked Dr Breen.

Wow that was a cool plotwist! Guess I'll just have to wait a month to see how it develops!


awesome. Awesome. Please Give me. Half life 3. Please PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAASE... PLEASE!!!! this was so Fucking Good. . . .. Gnome Chompski is my favourite character

Man! This game is peak Half Life. Every chapter was a blast. The combat, puzzles, new mechanics and level design, all are the best of the series. The game is little shorter than HL2 but, it is the extract of the best of HL 1 and 2. Hunters are the most fun enemy to fight with. The battle in the White Forest base reminds me of the HECU invasion of Black Mesa in HL1.

Gabe Newall stole my dog from me in 2005 and never returned him.
