Half-Life 2

was 8.5/10 for first 80% of the game, then it dropped down to 4/10 at the end starting from "follow freeman" chapter game is miserable to play, and unclear at all where to go unlike in all pervious chapters + devs decided that spamming striders everywhere is a good idea atleast the ending is like 7.5/10 this game is overrated, the only reason it has the reputation it has is cuz of the lore and that it was revolutionary back in the day it didnt aged that badly, writing is kinda mid 6.9/10, characters are 6.5/10, lore 10/10 atmosphere 9/10 but i absolutely hate that EVERYTIME when game introduces a new gimmick, it will just spam situations (until its boring) to use it for like 15 min every 10s but then it will get completely left behind and never brought back again i also would like to mention that this game barely uses its awsome soundtrack during fights, REALLY alot of fight are just silent and they just seem like someone forgot to add music into them should you play this game? i guess, its not bad but not great either, if u dont play it, you dont miss out tbh
