Game Story

Half-life 2 is a part of the Half-life game series. It's a game story game that you would find addictive. But, in case you're wondering, it's a show-not-tell story.

Gordon was awakened from a long sleep to help rescue the world from an invading alien force known as 'combine'. These aliens entered the earth through a portal Gordon created alongside his employer. After he created this portal, Gordon freed an alien race enslaved on their planet, Xen. Immediately after, he was put into a long sleep by a mysterious figure named G-man.

Unfortunately, during his stasis, the aliens known as Combine put the world into enslavement and devoured its resources. Gordon Freeman wakes up on a train bound for City 17, one of an unknown number of 'urban centres' where this mysterious alien race keeps humans in an Orwellian pseudo-slavery. The alien empire keeps an eye on its human subjects from a big fortress known as the Citadel, whose human governor happens to be Gordon Freeman's former administrator, by the name Dr Wallace Breen. As a result, humankind is now almost enslaved by themselves

The Combine Overwatch are people who are part of a military that is somewhat voluntary and whose membership is rewarded with many advantages like comfortable living conditions, concentration camps, urban centres, and controlled prisons. People are drawn to it so that they can have this feeling of being part of something bigger than themselves and can get away with torturing,  physically abusing and killing civilians.

Gordon joins forces with resistance fighters such as Dr Wallace Breen and a few of his old friends from the Black Mesa research facility like Barney Calhoun from HalfLife: Blue Shift. Gordon leads the resistance to free humankind with the help of some good creatures he liberated from Xen. However, resistance is stirring in the dark; a vast network of railroads that are underground has been put in place. The people are on the verge of total revolt. What they require are some push and encouragement. And Gordon Freeman might just be the right man for the job.

Game description

You take on the role of research scientist Gordon Freeman in Half-life 2, who happens to find himself on an alien-infested Earth that is being torn apart, its resources being depleted, and its population dwindling. This is an FPS game at its finest! No matter how many times you play it, the awesomeness of this game will either make you addicted or cause your mind to blow up! Unique puzzles, horrifying and repulsive enemies, excellent dialogue, and—best of all—a gun unlike any other that enables you to transform ordinary objects into hazardous objects of terror! No matter how talented a gamer you are, if you haven't tried this one, you haven't lived.

In terms of FPS, it's just as revolutionary as the original. An intriguing story, credible AI, stunning graphics, excellent gameplay, and endless replay value. What else could you possibly ask for? The game has many players and gamers who follow the game series, and its legacy lives on. In terms of violence, it is not excessive and is justified.

Gameplay

Like in the prequel of Half-Life 2, Gordon never speaks, and the player only sees the action through Gordon's view throughout Half-Life 2. There are no cutscenes or time jumps from the player's perspective. The storytelling method in this game is fantastic.

The ending of Half-Life 2 is almost like that of the original: Gordon is placed in stasis by the G-Man after finishing a complex task that seems almost impossible at first. Gordon is congratulated satisfactorily, and he would be that he would get further assignments. Many major characters' fates, such as Eli, Judith and Alyx, are left unresolved. Only a few of Half-questions Life's are addressed, and several new ones are introduced. The G-Man's real identity and nature remain unknown. However, some of these issues are addressed in the sequel games, Episode 1 and Episode 2.
