Half-Life is back and better than ever. Alongside interviews with the original developers, the game is now available with the Uplink mini-campaign, Steam Deck support, updated graphics settings, new multiplayer maps, and bonus restored goodies.
Spoilers: >!Most of the game is a prequel to HL2, but in the final few minutes, you get sent into the future, right to the time and place where Episode 2 ended. So it does advance the Half-Life plot forward, but only by a few minutes.!<
I got ya. That makes sense. It is not a story sequel. I haven’t finished it yet, but it felt very much like the direction Valve is pushing and a story sequel to HL2 probably won’t happen.
Why only 2 minutes?
