Half-Life 2: Episode 2. Oh man. This is the absolute best Half-Life can get!! Now if Valve ever miraculously announces HL3, I doubt that it will even surpass how great HL2 E2 was.

​

I don't have much to say about E1, other than it being a simple extension of the base HL2. Added a new zombie (with the grenade) and I hated the elevator level to be honest.

​

But E2, is a different matter. This was by far the most emotional and hyped up feeling Half Life I ever played.

The antlion battle with the vortigaunts was so AWESOME. Beautiful, wanted to shed a tear. I liked how much music was included in this game, made so much difference. Alyx's "death" had me sad :( Until I realized she'd be revived. Then her dad!

I doubt he'll ever be revived, but damn, I had my eyes wide opened for both scenes. :(

​

Portal reference and the last stand / boss battle was awesome too.

This is the end of Half Life as we are aware of. Fck you Valve for that ending :( I want my HL3 now lmao. hehe

​

Has been a lovely ride from HL1 to here, this is series I will miss :(

Wished I haven't played Portal before Half Life, would have loved to start Portal after this. Well, onto Witcher 1-3 now as I just finished the books :)

Thank you for reading!
