A historic launch
News after 20 years
The launch was an event and the praise was unanimous. The press at the time highlighted the technical advances that the game brought to the table, especially the implementation of a physics engine that allowed all types of interactions with the environment. Likewise, the facial animation of characters that showed a naturalness never seen before was also praised. And all this without telling an immersive narrative that had already been established in the first installment.
For all this, Half-Life 2 It became an essential title that, like good classics, has not lost steam two decades later. In fact, to make playing it today a better experience, Valve has updated the game by adding several visual improvements, as well as new graphical and control options.
