I found myself completely drawn in, relating deeply, and wanting to dig more and more into the story.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
So much VERY HD textures, water effects, better lighting and also various bloating mechanics and triggers that would never work well on HL1 engine (and they still dont)
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are incredible despite the technical limitations, and the soundtrack is amazing.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gunplay is important, as is occasional platforming with the classic crouch jump.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The environments are bleak and unsettling, with limited lighting, eerie sound design, and sudden scares that keep you constantly on edge.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
even with annoying glitches, still is worth it. the mods, main game, even the manhunt co-op mode (with the boss craig, hes friggin awesome.) its just fun, its re-playable and i recommend it. and yes at first it WILL be hard, but over time i guarantee that you will understand it better.
