While this game has definitely shown its age as some of the puzzles are fucking evil in what you're actually supposed to and made me drop the game many years back, playing through and beating half life has helped me understand why this game was so important for it's time. It's arguably one of the most important games to ever release as it put valve on the map and has as a result given us phenomenal games that have also been incredibly important in shaping the gaming landscape into what it is today. I can appreciate that aspect and despite my gripes with a few of its flaws the gameplay and combat of this game along with it's plot and characters has aged surprisingly well. While I don't see myself coming back to the first half life game too much in the future I can definitely say that it is still worth playing today
