I've never actually played Half-Life. Should I? Or to put it another way - has the game held up well enough, 25 years later, to recommend it to a new player?
I played a bit of Counter-Strike in the drag-your-PC-to-a-friend's-place era, and of course thoroughly enjoyed both Portal games, but I'm quite bored of Valve's style of black humour, and being precious with my time of late I'm cautious in investing it in a game I mostly know about from memes.
Thoughts? #retrogaming #halflife
