Episode One offers more of a breakneck potboiler in comparison to Half-Life 2's epic narrative. Five hours is enough to reach the end but the five superbly-paced chapters are hugely satisfying
hl2 deserves every praise and rewards it gets. however, i still feel that hl2: ep 1 is quite underrated. i liked the beginning where you had to solve puzzles using those orbs in the citadel, that was quite fun and new, not to gaming in general but to the half life franchise. and the zombine wasn't really that interesting, apparently you can throw back the grenades of "s*ic*de zombines" with Most Half-Life 2: Episode Two Playtime Worldwide # Steam ID Country Playtime (H) 1: cramik cramik. 61,239: 2: Cramik Cramik. 61,038: 3: Matroskin the Cat Matroskin yDW3b04.
