Histoire (IGDB)
Gordon Freeman is brought out of stasis by the G-Man, who inserts him into a train arriving at City 17. After arriving at the station and eluding Combine forces, Gordon joins Lambda resistance members including Barney Calhoun, a former Black Mesa security guard now working undercover as a Combine CP officer, and Alyx Vance, the daughter of one of Gordon's former colleagues, Dr. Eli Vance. After a failed attempt to teleport Gordon to Black Mesa East from Dr. Kleiner's makeshift laboratory, Gordon, re-equipped with the HEV suit and a crowbar, is forced to embark on foot through the city's old canal system. After obtaining an airboat, he battles his way to Black Mesa East, several miles from the city. Gordon is reintroduced to Eli and meets Dr. Judith Mossman. Alyx introduces Gordon to her large pet robot D0g and gives him a "Gravity Gun", a weapon which allows Gordon to pick up and move any large object with ease. Black Mesa East soon comes under Combine attack and Eli and Mossman are captured to be taken to a Combine prison, Nova Prospekt. Gordon and Alyx are forced to take separate paths to Nova Prospekt; Gordon takes a detour through the town of Ravenholm, receiving help from its last survivor, Father Grigori. After making his way through the town and a mine, Gordon makes his way to a Resistance outpost. Gordon is provided with a Dune Buggy, which he uses to travel along a crumbling coastal road to Nova Prospekt. Along the way, Gordon encounters frequent Combine patrols, and helps one of the resistance leaders, Colonel Odessa Cubbage, to defend a Resistance base from a Combine gunship. After crossing an antlion-infested beach, Gordon enters Nova Prospekt, where he is reunited with Alyx. They manage to locate Eli, but also discover that Mossman is a Combine informant. Before they can stop her, she teleports herself and Eli back to City 17's Citadel. The Combine teleporter explodes as Gordon and Alyx use it to escape Nova Prospekt. Upon reaching Kleiner's lab, a shaken Dr. Kleiner reveals to Gordon and Alyx that they were caught in a "slow teleport", during which a week had passed. In their absence, the Resistance, who heard about what had happened at Nova Prospekt, has mobilized against the Combine, turning City 17 into a battleground. During the fighting, Alyx is captured by the Combine and taken to the Citadel, and Gordon fights through the city with the aid of D0g and Barney to reach it. Inside the Citadel, he is caught in a Combine confiscation chamber that destroys all of his weapons except for the Gravity Gun, the energy enhancing its capabilities and allowing Gordon to escape and dispatch platoons of Combine soldiers. Eventually, Gordon is captured riding in a Combine transport pod and is taken to Dr. Breen's office, where he and Dr. Mossman are waiting with Eli and Alyx in captivity. Dr. Breen begins to explain his plans for further conquest of the humans by the Combine, contrary to what he had told Dr. Mossman. Angered, Mossman frees Gordon, Alyx, and Eli before Breen teleports them off-world. Dr. Breen tries to escape through a portal, but Gordon pursues him and destroys the portal reactor with the super-charged Gravity Gun. Breen appears to be annihilated in the resulting explosion. Just before Gordon and Alyx are presumably met with a similar fate, time is frozen. The G-Man reappears, praising Gordon for his actions in City 17 and the Citadel. Making vague mention of "offers for [Gordon's] services", the G-Man places him back into stasis.

Avis des joueurs Steam
Le jeu est trop qualitatif pour ne pas devoir écrire un pavé. Donc pour faire au plus simple, jouer à Half-Life 2.
one of the best games of all time, sure it's pretty old but seeing the skibidi toilet characters and the gtoilet that isn't a toilet at the start and end really made me brick hard, TL;DR it's a 10/10 game
Ce jeu est INCOYABLE ! que se soit l'histoire ou même le gameplay tout est parfait, j'ai adoré ce jeu alors que je n'aime pas les FPS, le seul défaut est que l'histoire n'est toujours pas finie.
Do I need to explain why this game is the greatest of all time? I don't think so. And if you're wondering why, just buy it and try it for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
Best Valve's game ever! I know this game released a long time ago, but this is way better than any other games I have ever played

Web port wizards produce browser versions of Half-Life 2 and Portal
It's been established that Doom can run on produce, but porting wizardry doesn't start and end with blasting cacodemons on increasingly ludicrous hardware setups.

"That lore terrifies me": Ex-Valve writer Chet Faliszek isn't interested in writing a Half-Life 3, as he wouldn't touch a sequel "with with a 10-foot pole"
Stop it. Stop trying to make him do it. He won't. He will not do it. He's been very clear with you. Yes, you, seemingly random commenter who's suggested that making Half-Life 3 would be a piece of cake. Former Valve writer Chet Faliszek doesn't reckon it would be. The mythical sequel's also not something he'd be interested in penning, because he's not a fan of having to deal with a tonne of established lore. Read more
Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Nothing less than a revolution in the gaming industry that will keep gamers busy for years to come, just as the original did. »
« A graphics overhaul delivers detailed facial animations and sophisticated physics that leave battle zones strewn with debris after intense shootouts with shuffling corpses, overfed curstaceans and other assorted foes. [October, p.37] »
« From its opening moments to its spectacular closing sequences, Half-Life 2 assaults you with a variety of gameplay styles and memorable moments, all executed with amazing precision. »
« Valve have once again managed to transform a genre, and taken pure gaming pleasure to brand new, unthought of heights. The sheer number of moments you'll be astounded by the graphical touches, by the storyline, by the sheer polished nature of the title, and even the incredible level design is quite astounding. »
« I found the little things most impressive. Telephone lines ripple from the wind kicked up by passing alien gun ships. Even motes of dust meander into view as they casually flit through rays of sunshine. »
« The delivered promise of video games to stand alongside cinema and literature as works of art. It accomplishes this through extraordinary graphical and audio prowess, wrapped around a riveting story and conveyed by unsurpassed gameplay...It is, bar none, the finest game I've ever played. »
« Valve's inclusion of an interactive physics-based environment and the wonderful gravity gun lends itself to fun gravity puzzles, making use of good old-fashioned common sense and intuition - something I've found to be absent in the average first-person shooter. »
« We laughed, we gaped, we cried, screamed, and on a few occasions, came dangerously close to wetting ourselves. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Half life 2 has been one of the best games ever made. It has been and will always be playable »
« molto intrigante e sembra com se sia un cubo gi rubic perche ci vole la strategia e inteligenza »
« Half-Life 2 is a great sequel to the first game, but I have a couple of gripes with it, I feel that the weapons are good no doubt, however maybe i'm biased but I like Half-Life 1 more, like the first game's arsenal feels more snappy, pretty fun still. -JB »
« Ever since I was a kid, I wanted a game with great physics, a great story, great music, great graphics—everything excellent. Half-Life 2 has all of that. Go buy it—it's on sale for 1.95. »
« Half-Life 2 is a legendary game and a true milestone in the FPS genre. Its physics-based gameplay, especially the gravity gun, was revolutionary. The story is immersive, and the world-building is excellent. Even years later, the level design and the atmosphere still feel modern and exciting. It is a must-play masterpiece for every gamer. »
« This is one of those truly odyssey-like video games, thanks to Valve’s great variety and creativity in their design. Half-Life 2 is deservedly an icon in the annals of video games and a testament to the depth that the shooter genre can achieve. It almost dares to be forgotten, but the years and subsequent far-branching legacy of the game have proven that it simply cannot be. »
« [SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.] »
« *Half-Life 2* remains one of the most impressive first-person shooters ever made. Its world-building and environmental storytelling make City 17 feel believable and immersive, and the game does an excellent job of making you feel like you truly are Gordon Freeman. The pacing is consistently engaging, mixing combat, puzzles, and vehicle sections without letting any one element overstay its welcome.>> The supporting cast is likable, especially Alyx, while the ending leaves a strong desire to continue the story. Although the enemy AI and physics no longer feel revolutionary by modern standards, they still hold up well and contribute to a polished gameplay experience. The soundtrack is memorable, if somewhat sparse, and the voice acting and sound design are excellent.>> My biggest criticism is that the constant enemy pressure and some of the darker, more intense levels reduce its replay value for me personally. Even so, *Half-Life 2* is a landmark FPS that I would absolutely recommend to anyone interested in the genre. »
