The original Half-Life won more than 30 Game of the Year awards and raised the bar in terms of what a good game should be, and now Valve’s Half-Life 2, only the second game the studio has ever
Half Life: Alyx. While there are ways to play this without a VR headset, it's not recommended. You can safely skip this one for now and play it later. Half Life 2. Half Life 2: Episode 1. Half Life 2: Episode 2. Half Life 2: Lost Coast is a tech demo which uses a chapter cut from Half Life 2 as its map.The series is pretty great. There's an official remake of the half life 1 called "black mesa" that updates the game for modern players. Half life 2 is also great, I didn't really like the half life 2 expansion called half life 2 episode 1, but I did really like episode 2. A warning, it ends on a pretty serious cliffhanger. If you're looking for nostalgia, play the original. If you're looking for an enjoyable experience, play Black Mesa (I assume that's what you mean by "source remake" since, as others have pointed out, Half Life: Source is pretty much identical). The original Half Life is a poorly made and frustrating game by today's standards. But it is much much funny if you play it with other person, trully I really could recomend you to play Half-Life: Decay with a friend, it is free, and it works perfectly in steam, with hamachi, or by opening ports. Oh but your friend needs Half-Life installed. Last edited by Turambar ; Jul 13, 2017 @ 5:23am. #13. I just started playing Half Life 2 for the first time last week. Despite the dated graphics and general gaming limitations at the time, this is still a very enjoyable game. Totally worth the sub $10. The more i play it, the more I come to appreciate how well made it is. That's one of the reasons that Sierra nearly brought Half-Life to Dreamcast, and why it carried through with Half-Life on PlayStation 2. Sierra's Half-Life for PS2 is indeed a game worth owning
