THE FPS platformer. Halo can eat it. TURN OFF HD MODELS IN VIDEO SETTINGS.

Unbelievably immersive atmospheric storytelling that tells most of said story without exposition dumps, though the final chapter of the game is a little weaker than the rest of it. Music's decent; I had fun learning that this is where the Valve tune comes from. Sound mixing's a little weird, but you can freely adjust it in the audio menu. Gunfights get pretty hard, but they're still fair, IMO, especially considering how easy it is to save scum.

Not much else to say, honestly. It's genuinely mind-blowing that this came out in 1998.
