Not as fun as Half-life 1 but the world is pretty immersive.
This game was revolutionary for it's era and way ahead of it too, no other game had the amount of physics like Half life 2, you can still play Half life 2 and still feel immersed in the world because it feels alive and makes sense, the graphics have aged a lot well.

This is one of my childhood games, it felt mysterious back then and still is! few games managed to look and feel this surreal, it is a solid platformer game but it has some camera placement issues, there are pretty good puzzles in this game that are fun to beat, the soundtrack is also incredibly good.
2007
One of the few modern shooters (Yes, it's a modern shooter by my standards) that has a lot of Arena shooter characteristics but it's also a casual and friendly game, it allows you to play 9 different classes who are very different from each other and with their own skillsets to master.
it has community mods and servers that will give you a lot of content, the game also allows you to make a truce with your enemies by using friendly taunts, this is the game where you can find both complete tryhards/sweats and friendlies/casual players in the same match, no other game has come this close to having that.

I started in the early days of Minecraft, it might not have been my childhood game but it was still pretty magical, the first time playing is always special and I wish I could forget just to experience it for the first time again!
Back then there were no actual sandbox games that allowed you to destroy the world and build on it at the same time on a completely procedurally generated and virtually infinite open world map, removing blocks and placing them might sound trivial to some these days but it was mind-blowing back in the early 2010s!
You can build entire bases/structures with what you have available, the only limit is your imagination... and time, it may be a boring game to some but for me it can be relaxing.

It wasn't my first shooter but it's the one I played the most during the late 2000s despite it being old already at the time, the game was pretty good and I have a lot of memories of it but unfortunately it didn't have the same amount of mods as Halo: Custom edition, the game in itself is a masterpiece, the weapon design, character designs, dialogues, world and atmosphere were all so good I can almost guarantee you won't find anything similar in many games these days.
The campaign was the main reason for playing this game on PC since multiplayer was better on Custom edition, the campaign for this game was pretty unique, the vastness of the world, atmosphere and soundtrack are things that haven't been properly replicated in the sequels or remasters.

Pretty good game I enjoyed back then but it really aged badly, movement is poor and aiming is poor for today's standards but I feel nostalgic for it in every sense, the PVP with my brother was awesome.
2004
I enjoyed this game quite a lot on PC back when you could find matches easily and when it wasn't plagued by legal aim-bot kids, playing this game on PC was a bit of a hassle mainly because they made this game for Windows Vista and you were required go use Windows live games service too but thankfully a patch was able to solve that.
The campaign on this game was okay, the new look of the enemies was a surprise and it was the first game to include dual wielding which is a pretty big deal since it makes previously weak weapons into considerably dangerous weapons and combos (for example plasma pistol and pistol combo), unfortunately it didn't have the feeling as the first game regarding the atmosphere and mysticism but was still a good halo game, playing as elites was really cool.

This is for me the definitive vanilla multiplayer Halo game, It wasn't my childhood game (Yes I missed out a lot) I played it on PC when it got ported and it is single handedly responsible for making me spend hours in the Master chief collection, it might not have the mods Halo: CE had back then but the multiplayer was really fun and balanced.
The campaign was the only one thing that didn't surprise me much, it felt rather short and rushed but at least elites were playable again.

2009
I feel like this game was pretty underrated back then, it was my first Halo game on Xbox 360 (I couldn't get my hands on Halo 3 back then) and I'm pretty glad it was, the game didn't have PvP but that didn't matter, the Firefight mode was really awesome, playing it with friends and my brother was pretty awesome, the soundtrack and atmosphere were also incredible.
2012
This game isn't and will never be a Halo game for me, the game was okay but it didn't feel like anything special to me, the enemies were generic, the soundtrack was generic, the artstyle was generic and it had no playable elites, the game just felt like a futuristic Call of Duty, at least the story of what happens to Cortana is okay but everything else was bland.
2021
They promised us a lot before releasing this game, people were hoping for playable elites, an actually open world map (A trend which I personally hate), fun gunplay, maps, splitscreen and Forge on launch but none of these were added as promised, this game was broken promise after broken promise, it was nearly unplayable on PC due to stuttering and low FPS when it wasn't even that good looking of a game.
For me this is when I lost all hope on 343 and Microsoft, I regret of ever buying this game's campaign.

2016
It was okay but I didn't get impressed by this game, I felt like the gameplay was too slow for a DOOM game and the artstyle too generic.
2020
Much better than DOOM (2016) and was much faster (still not as fast as I would like) I liked the artstyle, most of the demons resembled their old 90s DOOM designs which was a nice touch and the weapon combo was pretty cool too! this game improved on everything DOOM 2016 did except for the PVP mode, they got ride of the fun Arena deathmatch mode that was present in DOOM 2016 and replaced it with a lackluster PvP/PvE 1v4 gamemode that I don't really recommend at all.
2001
It is THE BEST Empire Earth game and dare I say one of THE BEST RTS I've ever played, the gameplay, visual effects (which for most might have aged badly but not for me) and soundtrack are still as good as I remember, everything about this game is fantastic and was one of the games that introduced me to the RTS genre back in the days.
Everything about this game is nostalgic and iconic, from the Wololos and basic sound effects, most of the stuff in this game was engrained in my mind so much, I still remember my first time playing it on a very old CRT monitor.
This is one of the games that defined the RTS genre and was certainly not underrated, it was a pretty big game back then, the gameplay was simple yet complex but incredible, it's a shame that the RTS era is gone.
