I was always a console gamer in my childhood so I missed the boat on a lot of the most iconic PC games.
I feel like I might catch some heat for this one, but recently I tried Half Life 1 and I just couldn’t get into it. The game just feels so…lifeless. I got about 10 chapters in, which is like 60% or so of the way through, and every moment just feels like I’m playing House of the Dead in the arcade, walking down a hallway and shooting jumpscare enemies. I think the lack of any semblance of story or motivation for what I’m doing is especially egregious to me.
