Half-Life 2: Episode One (2006 Video Game)
7/10
Even though it has its problems, its a really good sequel.

Half Life 2 I thought did not live up to my expectations. But the adventure was so addicting that I had to replay it again. So I started replaying all the Half Life Main Games again and I have yet again completed Episode 1 of Half Life 2. This is the 8th game (Including Expansions Opposing Force, Blue Shift and Playstation 2's Half Life Decay and the Demo Lost Coast but not including Half Life Uplink) in the entire series. So far from what I have been playing, this is the best in the Half Life 2 series.

The game continues where the last one left off. Gorden is awakened from the rubble as Alyx and Dog find him. The core of the Citadel is about to collapse and explode City 17. Gorden and Alyx with the ideas from Dr. Kleiner try to get the core to stay as steady as it can with a Direct Intervention. After that, you must escape on a train with the help of Barney from the last game.

The game may have the same problems like in Half Life 2. Problems like stupid NPCS who block you constantly. But this game is a huge improvement over the last game. Alyx is still a great character and her development is stronger than the last one. Drama is also amazing in this game and really effects the player. Although short, the games pacing is great as the story progresses smoothly.

Half Life 2 Episode 1 is a really good game. It continues Half Life 2's story with amazing pace. Next Thing To Review Is Half Life 2 Episode 2.

78/100 B
