    The Half Life games in general are classics and generally dope as hell. In HL1, ofc, you explicitly fight the US Army, and in HL2 (and Episodes 1 and 2) you lead a guerilla resistance against a fascist-allegory occupying force. I need to do a series replay soon

        It doesn't help that HL2 is set in some dystopian, vaguely eastern European city, so yeah, it's safe to assume that.

          Yeah, it's got the 1984 influences, the oppressive mass surveillance police state, food rations and identical jumpsuits
