Half-Life is a first-person shooter developed by Valve, originally released for Windows in 1998 and later adapted for PlayStation 2. Players assume the role of Dr. Gordon Freeman, navigating a research facility overrun by alien creatures and military personnel. The game is notable for its immersive storytelling, innovative gameplay mechanics, and seamless integration of narrative and environment without traditional cutscenes.
Dr. Gordon Freeman doesn't speak, but he's got a helluva story to tell. This first-person roller-coaster initiated a new era in the history of action games by combining engrossing gameplay, upgraded graphics, ingenious level design and a revolutionary story that may not be all that it seems, told not through cutscenes, but through the visual environment.
