what are your thoughts on half-life?

Solution
Half-Life is keyed in every way shape and form, the original game is actually my #1 favorite of all time and I can literally play it forever and ever, the expansions are really fun as well that expand the Black Mesa incident to a greater scale. The second game and its episodes are lesser IMO but are still 9/10s.

Valve's theme that you hear in the start of all of their games is actually just the theme from midway through Surface Tension, the longest chapter of HL1. Man the game's cinematics are still incredible today for a 20 year old game, like the tentacle in Blast Pit, the jets in Surface Tension. It's just incredible really I implore you play it; the game really set the bar for what a good singleplayer FPS is while still feeling...
I only ever played the first Half Life.
Story mode is boring and I never got too far with it before quitting.
Multiplayer is a gem though, I could waste time all day on Crossfire 24/7 servers.
 
first game is really really fun, the black mesa remake makes it even better
the two expansion games after (ik theres some other one called decay but i couldnt care less) are really short but pretty fun too, not blue shift as much but still its just more HL1
half life 2 would be better than the first if they just took it back from "muh story worldbuilding" and focused more on gameplay but its still really fun nonetheless
the first episode is ass
the second episode is fun but needs to have been longer
and i havent played alyx because im not blowing my shekels on an expensive headset and a 60 shekel game just for more half life
Black mesa sucks because they put women in the game
 
thanks guys
im probably gonna start with HL2 episode two because thats the one i can play on xbox (via backwards compat)
then when i get a PC ill go in chronological order

EDIT im retarded, the orange box includes HL2 and the two episodes
