My conclusion: Half-Life 2 plus Episodes 1 and 2 might be the best gaming combo of all time. The mythology is deep, far-reaching and engrossing; graphics have held well; face animation/voice acting are excellent and reach L.A. Noire-like levels most of the time. Half-Life 2 Episode 3 is more than vaporware at this point, it’s become a meme - a monument to how Valve left an entire fanbase hanging for over a decade until Half-Life: Alyx.

Most important strat is ABH which might take a while to master but it's very rewarding and fun once you actually can move really fast. Episode 2 could be a nice first game to run since it's not that long (WR being 43:35). JEESO.
