Our analysis

Revisiting Half-Life 2 after 13 years, Mack finds it better than he remembered, praising its unpredictable AI, hands-off puzzles, relentless variety, gravity gun and gunplay; his only gripes are slidy strafing and iffy driving, and he calls it the best single-player game ever made.

Our analysis

Half-Life 2 still stands out for its creative gravity gun and interactive physics. Its showcase set pieces remain effective, despite awkward story sessions, interruptions to the action and an abrupt ending.

    Our analysis

    Half-Life 2 is a technically masterful game with incredible production quality and design, but its reverence as 'the best game ever made' obscures significant gameplay issues like weak weapons, tedious water sections, and heavy-handed player guidance that undermine its anti-power-fantasy roots.
