Half-life as a series had the advantage of being an early adopter to a lot of stuff that is now dated. At the time of release it was revolutionary, but by comparison now it probably feels a little mediocre.
Plus it was one of the few games of the time that really understood how to use a good soundtrack to improve the vibe of the game and I still go back and listen to the OST sometimes.
