It isn't everyday that you come across a game that totally revolutionizes an entire genre, but Half-Life has done just that.
94
The storyline runs in perfect harmony with the action and acts as a conduit not a stopgap, or a padding device. Each gaming element compliments the next and the entire presentation is nothing short of, well…dare we say it…revolutionary.

This is The Big One, and it's even better than we could've hoped. [Jan 1999, p.166]

The game to define storytelling in games. Half-Life showed how revolutionary a game could be with its story.

Não tem o que falar desse jogo, esse jogo é perfeito. Ótimos gráficos para seu tempo, final perfeito, ótimos personagens, armas criativas e história perfeita

Çevresel hikaye anlatımı diyince ilk akla gelen isimdir. Çoğu FPS oyununun ve mekaniklerinin atası, zamanının ötesinde efektler ile oyuncuyu resmen büyüleyebilen bir oyundur. Lore'u ile 25 seneyi aşkın süredir oyuncuları şüpheye düşüren ve sayfalarca wiki yazılmasına vesile olan bir başyapıttır Half-Life.

A fantastic single player experience, with reliable and customizable multiplayer support...what more could a FPS fan ask for.

It features a fully interactive environment that's a blast to play through. It's really like an interactive movie because it's so immersive. It's easily the most revolutionary shooter since "System Shock."

Everything in this game is perfect, including the excellent characters and graphics, and the realistic sound effects. Half-Life is not a game, it is an adventure.
95
It constantly presents you with variety, surprises, and new challenges to keep you hooked. It is a tour de force in game design, the definitive single player game in a first person shooter.

Call in sick at work, unplug the phone, cancel all your plans, and prepare yourself for one of the most intense, exciting, and downright brilliant gaming experiences of your life.

Unfortunately, Half-Life’s puzzle-oriented play leads to some problems. On several occasions, you’ll be forced to make almost impossible jumps. The difficulty of such maneuvers finds you making 10, sometimes 15 attempts. The frustration distances you from a story that should have you absorbed.

O jogo segue uma trajetória mais frenética ao invés de focar no terror, se focasse no terror seria G.O.A.T.

Es un clasico que en su momento presento ideas muy novedosas, pero que definitivamente ha envejecido. Vale la pena por vivir ese momento y tambien para jugar al segundo.

Fine looking water, But really good for 1998.
However, The water isn't 3d. Now, I understand they couldn't do that at the time, But still.

Turns into a terrible game slowly as you progress. Ending and whole last 30% of the game are all terrible. It was promising.
SummaryHalf-Life combines great storytelling in the tradition of Stephen King with intense action and advanced technology to create a frighteningly realistic world where players need to think smart to survive. Half-Life has won more than 50 Game of the Year awards from publications around the world, and was named 'Best PC Game Ever' in PC Gamer... Read More
