I think this game has the same quality like "Half-Life 2": It has the same fantastic characters, the intense atmosphere, the amazing sound effects etc. What I even like better is the fact, that Alyx Vance is beside you. She adds stronger feelings in the proper situations (for example panic).
The largest disappointment is clearly the short gameplay with only five chapters, but you have to expect this when it's called an "episode". I'm a Half-Life fan, but also a hobby reviewer, so I can't just rate "Episode One" as high as the original Half-Life games...
9/10
