    @OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games I sometimes forget that Half-Life released in 1998. Despite playing the game for the first time about a year ago, it’s still an incredible experience years after release. I can’t really think of any other game from the 90s that had the same level of immersion and believability as Half-Life.

    Truly one of the greatest video games of all time.

      It was a real revelation when it came out.
      So revolutionary in many ways.
      It’s the one PC game that I played online for nearly 6 years at a friends place.
      So crazy!
      Flying around the level with the gaus gun, barely touching the floor at times. 😅

      I would love to see a Half-Life and Portal collection on modern consoles. 😭

        @OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games What’s even more crazy is that it was the first game from a new studio. Despite Valve being recognized as one of the greatest video game developers, they were originally a small team of amateur designers, most of which didn’t even work in big studios before.

        I’m sure the Nintendo Switch already has a Portal collection, though not for Half-Life.
