I've always found the Uncharted 4/The Last Of Us/God of War 2018 to all be decent, but all those games are kinda lacking in imteresting gameplay and are basically the video game equivalents of "Oscar bait"

    Half-Life is the most overrated series IMO. I could rant about it but people tend to get pretty salty.

    The first game is legit good and praiseworthy but that was over 20 years ago. I don't think very highly of Valve in general except for what they're doing with Linux.

        Half-Life 2 seemed to open the floodgates for rusty abandoned ruins being used as the vanilla flavor for most games that followed after and it’s aesthetically bland and tiresome to me.

        There's another universe out there where Valve went for the dieselpunk aesthetic HL2 had in some of its beta stages. I wonder if that would have spread throughout the industry in the same way.

      The only part of HL2 that I really enjoyed was Ravenholm. I literally don't remember anything else about that game.
