Yeah this game may be outclassed by newer FPS titles like Doom Eternal, this still holds up surprisingly well.

I'd often compare this game to Halo as they both came out at similar times. I find Halo to be very repetitive, while Half-life is constantly throwing new ideas at you from all angles. Halo will use the same room model 6 times in the same level while Half-life will use a mechanic once and you'll never see it again.

Halo outshines it in two aspects. Halo has a banging soundtrack while Half-life's is a little forgettable. I also hate hit-scan enemies. It forces you to take cover rather than reward you for being quick on your toes.
