So I'm finally done with Half-Life series, it was a great ride (even though I'm over a decade late). This last game has no chance of getting the highest rating from me as 1) it included a car chapter. No, please just stop it, no. And 2) the final boss battle was ridiculously hard compared to the rest of the game where there's almost always someone helping Gordon, and it also involved driving around in a car, so no, just no. Apart from this, I really enjoyed the game, especially the new environments introduced here and more involvement from NPCs. The ending is great too, and even though it's a huge cliffhanger and I understand people's frustration of third game never being released (including that it was kinda promised), I actually don't really care about it. As I wasn't sitting anxiously back in 2008 (or so) waiting for it, the cliffhanger itself is like…whatever - I couldn't care less about the whole Borealis thing and especially that lady what's-her-name.
