Been replaying Half-Life 2 recently cause I haven't played it since the release and almost completely forgot what the game was about. So why the fuck not.
And you know, it's such a slog. Sure, it has some cool moments like controlling an antlion army, but for the most part you're following just one single path and fighting a single enemy type. It's like a really basic shooting range repeated 500 times for 15 hours. Open a door, dozens of gas masks spawn in and attack you with hitscan weapons barely giving you any time to take cover. Shoot them dead, collect the medkits, rinse and repeat.
I'm currently at Chapter 10, where you go thru the city with a squad of retard AIs, who constantly fucking block doorways and shout "reload, doctor Freeman!" when I'm at full clip. It's one identical room after another.
How the fuck did this shit get 96 on Metacritic?
