Mostly everything I said in my Half-Life 2 review stands. This is a great continuation of Half-Life 2. However, it certainly feels like a small episode in terms of how the story is progressed. Although, it still goes in a very interesting direction.
One thing I love about this game, however, is the character of Alyx. I won't say she was bad in the original Half-Life 2, but she did feel a bit bland. Here, she is given so much more life and personality that it's incredibly hard to dislike her. She is great!
Don't expect a complete upgrade like how it was from Half-Life 1 to 2. This is simply more Half-Life 2 with some new ideas thrown in. Overall, a really great time.
