Description
1998. HALF-LIFE sends a shock through the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling. Valve's debut title wins more than 50 game-of-the-year awards on its way to being named "Best PC Game Ever" by PC Gamer, and launches a franchise with more than eight million retail units sold worldwide.

NOW. By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 opens the door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around them, from the physical environment to the behaviors even the emotions of both friends and enemies.

The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people he cares about are counting on him.

The intense, real-time gameplay of Half-Life 2 is made possible only by Source®, Valve's new proprietary engine technology. Source provides major enhancements in:

  • Characters: Advanced facial animation system delivers the most sophisticated in-game characters ever seen. With 40 distinct facial "muscles," human characters convey the full array of human emotion, and respond to the player with fluidity and intelligence.
  • Physics: From pebbles to water to 2-ton trucks respond as expected, as they obey the laws of mass, friction, gravity, and buoyancy.
  • Graphics: Source's shader-based renderer, like the one used at Pixar to create movies such as Toy Story® and Monster's, Inc.®, creates the most beautiful and realistic environments ever seen in a video game.
  • AI: Neither friends nor enemies charge blindly into the fray. They can assess threats, navigate tricky terrain, and fashion weapons from whatever is at hand

Hope it helps someone.

    Half life 2 is some great gaming for less than a quid! I'm almost jealous of those people who are discovering the half-life series for the first time.

    I've never played them but just ordered a steam deck so will check them out, thanks!

    What's the difference between the 2 editions above?

    85p cannot be a coincidence. 8-5 = 3. Half life 3 confirmed

    Half Life 3 and free cake.

    they might as well just bundle this with a steam account, by default, at this point.

    I remember playing half life 2 as a teenager and I was at the last level,I got locked out of my steam account and they wouldn't let me back on without providing all of my steam keys so couldnt complete it,I have a new account so purchased this again..................

    Wow, as a teenager I would be “raging” as the kids say nowadays.

    Hope you are able to finish it second time around!

    Thanks for this, I bought half-life 2, haven't played half-life 1 or 2 but apparently half life 1 has a few issues on the small screen of steamdeck according to Steam.

  14. fender62's avatar
    all i can say is money well spent on all of them, total immersion.. can you survive and solve the mystery, have you got what i takes...think so...pull the triger and immerse. (edited)

    SO cheesed off all these games doesn't work on macOS 10.15 Catalina or above (basically any modern mac) Yes there are workarounds of sorts - but even most workarounds won't work with the more modern M1/M2 chipset. (edited)
