Is it still worth playing?
Valve's 2004 first person shooter for Windows, released on Steam, which combines combat, puzzles and storytelling. You play Gordon Freeman, who joins a resistance effort to free Earth from the alien Combine empire, in City 17, an Eastern European setting. The Source engine was developed alongside the game and includes the Havok physics engine, which simulates real-world physics, and many of the puzzles are built on it. The gravity gun repels objects or pulls them from a distance, and some levels have vehicles, such as an airboat and a scout car. New weapons are introduced like a tutorial. Play it now for the pacing: the opening sections alternate tension with small moments of rest, and enemies, allies and supplies are always marked by the design or by sound.
