I expected the game to have a different type of story, as this first episode could have been a standalone game. It still a very good game, The only thing I don't necessarily like about this game is the lack of new weapons. Having the original guns are fun, but playing with the same weapons makes it a little less exciting. Even one more weapon would have been cool. But the characters are still great and the levels still look amazing. Can't wait to see what happens in the second episode.
Very good expansion to Half Life 2. It doesn't add much to the main lore other than Gordon and Alyx trying to get out of City 17 to then start Episode 2.
You're going to spend it in dark areas and the flashlight is still next to the running bar. It wears out pretty quickly in that regard.
The reactor area is a bit confusing, if you get lost there at least I consider it normal.
But it's a very good expansion just the same. It's more Half Life 2 more focused on narrow areas and it's more linear than the original Half Life 2, not to mention it's also shorter.
