When designing half life developers discovered that shooting was very fun thats why the game is 90% plataforming and 10% shooting. A surprising decision.
The story is quite captivating the shooting is interesting the plataforming sucks but overall it is a good game

honestly I was kinda hoping for more. The doors are cool but unlike in sky the third they don't set up the next arc that well. Having the only cool scenes in a post game boss is annoying. At least Rean gets some closure

The game is easier than the contemporaries and is pretty fun. The controls are tight and feel floaty enough. The more exploratory levels are cool but sometimes is kinda annoying having to repeat a level.
