best singleplayer experience i've ever had. good on its own, even better with mods.
i finished my first 100% campaign at a very turbulent time in my life and this game helped keep me sane, so there's probably some bias there.

i waited 11 days for it to download on the world's worst internet when it released (this was the first game I ever preordered) and i cried when i booted it up for the first time
probably the only quirky 2010's humor writing that gets a free pass to be annoying because this was what defined annoying 2010's humor. aged like wine. fantastic.
when this game touched upon the origins of Aperture Science and some of the behind-the-scenes of its foundation everyone tried to follow the leader with every other IP but missed the mark and failed miserably and now we're stuck with a million origin stories we don't care about so i'm knocking half a star off for starting that trend
EDIT: i was 13 when i played this so i think i GLaDOS adversely affected my development and now i'm a FREAK so it gets that half a star back

very interesting premise and incredibly solid execution, had great potential to either be an exemplary dungeon crawler with its own unique mechanics or the foundation to be something bigger. unfortunately the devs had a "vision" for it which includes making it intentionally obtuse and clunky for the charm of it (it is not charming, just irritating).
i played 9 hours total:
2 were spent wandering around aimlessly wondering where to go and what to do
2 were spent actually playing the game (very fun)
5 hours were completely lost due to the game's dogshit autosave system not saving during hours of gameplay before it crashed twice
