Half-Life 2: Episode Two (PC)

“This is an amazing game. Its semi-short expansion but not too short. It plunges you into a strange futuristic world.”

“Considering the excellent gameplay and cinematic in-engine cutscenes, it would be pretty hard to top Half-Life 2 (and episode 2's) production value without a massive graphics overhaul. That being said, Episode 2 is much nicer than needed holding pattern before Episode 3 and (presumably) Half-Life 3 come out, not to mention the assumed link-up with the canon of the portal games.

As Dr. Gordon Freeman, you battle your way to the White Forest facility where you are expected to prep the launch of a rocket that will close the portal left after your shenanigans in Half-Life 2. Along the way, you get to kill the gamut of HL2 enemies, with the usual weapons i.e. Gravity Gun, Shotgun, Pistols, Sniper Crossbow, I need not go on.

The ending is a wonderfully unexpected cliffhanger, and is undoubtedly going to tie in nicely to the next installment, which will hopefully come out soon, now that I've finished Episode 2 a full three and a half years after it came out. *slap*

Despite feeling like a token bridge to Half-Life 3, the HL2 episodes work well continuing the gameplay of the original game, and I can recommend them for that.”

“One of the greatest games ever made. With your side kick Alyx Vance, you get to kill the hell out The Combine with our favorite physicist Gordon Freeman.”

“Not much to add from my reviews of Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2 Episode 1 except, were is Episode 3?”
