2/4 finished with my HL Anthology replay. I think this is the first time I’ve ever played through Half Life 1 uninterrupted. Last time I played it I was a kid playing a bit here and there weeks apart. NGL … it was surprisingly challenging, really having to explore to find your way through. Also I died likely close to triple digits .. lol. Definitely far more challenging than modern FPS games are. Took just short of 10hrs, which is a lot more than Blue Shifts 3hrs.
Also really impressed by the comfort of the Steam Deck. Comfort wise feels far closer to a standard controller. Even without the case it’s comfortable to hold for long periods in my personal experience anyway.
Next up, HL: Opposing Force, another game I’ve never completed uninterrupted.
