New version of Half-Life 2 totally transforms Valve's classic shooter

Half-Life 2

Reawakened from stasis in the occupied metropolis of City 17, Gordon Freeman is joined by Alyx Vance as he leads a desperate human resistance. Experience the landmark first-person shooter packed with immersive world-building, boundary-pushing physics, and exhilarating combat.

Half-Life 2 is a stone-cold classic. The Valve shooter that introduced City 17, Alyx Vance, and the iconic gravity gun still feels fresh and modern almost 20 years later, and is well worth your time, especially as we wait - and wait - for Half-Life 3. But if there's one thing I would change about HL2, it's the gunplay. Armed with his trusty crowbar and a slew of great-looking, imaginative weapons (the red-hot-rebar-firing crossbow will always be a favorite), Gordon Freeman nevertheless feels a bit rigid, a bit static. Now, a new mod for Half-Life 2 VR transforms gunplay in the Steam classic, making the entire FPS feel much more alive.
