I remember everyone shitting on it on release, but apparently it's actually good. That was interesting.

Found it more fun that hl1 honestly

I didn't play it or even know about until like ten years ago and fell in love with it right away. Don't know what they were smoking back in '07.

I like the enemies, level design and atmosphere of this game more, but the core gameplay is more tight in half life.

Not really. It's just a fascinating bad game

1.2 million Russian dead btw.

Why?

It's like Kane and Lynch 2 in that sense, where the presentation and atmosphere is so interesting that the gamepolay kind of doesn't matter

It plays like fucking shit. Emphasis on fucking.

Enemy design is extremely questionable and wacky. Yet that atmosphere and aesthetics really wants you to play regardless.

In general, the development team considered themselves an "art studio", not a game studio. They literally made levels first and gameplay later. They couldn't even implement the ability to choose the 2nd ending lmao.
