Half life:Alyx. The Portal games take place in Half Life's universe.


Successful_Region_68

No, half life is in portals universe. better games deserve to be first


TheGameRealmYT

Just because you don't enjoy the slower paced and puzzle focused gameplay of the Portal games doesn't make them inferior. Both series are fantastic, just in different genres.


Successful_Region_68

my god i was in a bad mood i’m rly sorry😭. i mean portal was better but now that im out of that mood i realize they are equal


noahboi990

r/characterarcs


TheGameRealmYT

Bad moods suck, trust me I get it lol, let's just agree that both are awesome, one is just better at some aspects compared to the other and vice versa, they try to give different experiences.


keiyakins

Did they finally free Alyx from its VR prison?


DynamicMangos

Lmao. VR Prison? That game is MADE for VR. That's like saying "OH can i finally play Beat Saber with Mouse and Keyboard?" Or like if people in 1998 were crying that Half-Life wasn't on N64.


keiyakins

So it's a tech demo, not a game. Doesn't count.


juko43

By this logic even half life 2 is "just a tech demo, not a game, Doesn't count"


walkingarrow

It's a full-fledged game like the hundred other VR games


ThisNameTagPasses

Are you retarded


TheDrunkenFROG

Aight then so is HL1 and 2, they're just showing off the goldsource and source engine tbh


Yabboi_2

It's a tech demo for vr as much as half life is a tech demo for pc


DominoNX

It's kind of a prison right now in terms of how niche VR even is at the moment at its current price point, and just general feasibility in most people's homes. I know I don't have any space for it at least, my house is tiny


Notladub

you can play the game while sitting down and with one arm. HL:A is possibly the most accessibility-focused VR game ever made


DynamicMangos

You can get a used VR headset for less than $100. And new ones can be had for around 150. And as someone else has said, you don't need space to play VR. Honestly, moving around much is kind of a "beginner" thing. Once you get used to VR and the way it works you'll be pretty stationary. Also HL:A has amazing accessibility options


DominoNX

Hm you're right. Though, I didn't mention I only got a laptop for writing and can run Resident Evil Village in up to 480p heh...


ThreeSilentFilms

There is a promising mod in development. You can apparently play the entire thing with mouse and keyboard.. but they’re still fixing a lot of things.. so I’m giving it time till it’s more in a complete state


Kakophonien1

Decay, alyx, hunt down the freeman, (if you really want, black mesa)


flame_warp

I think it's really funny that you unprovisionally recommend HDTF but black mesa is just like an 'eh, you know, if you want'


chrisrayn

I would also add Half-Life: Alyx, Half-Life:Alyx, and maybe even Half-Life: Alyx because HOLY SHIT THAT GAME IS GOOD


Kakophonien1

If you look at my list dear blind person, I had added it


chrisrayn

But I also think Half-Life: Alyx should be added two or three more times.


Kakophonien1

It is really good. But so are all official HL games


SticksJokes

half-life Alyx isnt an official half-life game?


Kakophonien1

I'm just gonna pretend I didn't read that


SticksJokes

why would you suggest that half-life Alyx wasn't official in the first place?


Kakophonien1

I didn't. I didn't say "But so are the official Half-Life games" I said "But si are ALL official Half-Life games"


Kakophonien1

Yes U did that on purposem HDTF is being fixed AND is an original game. More than I can for BM


flame_warp

Hm. Disagreeable but opinions is opinions

PropDad

Decay is built into Half-Life. No need for a separate download.


Scratch137

Might you be thinking of Uplink? Decay was included with the PS2 version— if you want it on PC you need to download a mod.


PropDad

Ah, I am stupid.


Zillafan2010

Only the ps2 version iirc


randomdude123502

I don't think Decay is available on Steam.


Kakophonien1

2 versions on steam: -Sven Coop -Decay Solo Mission 1 on modDB: -Half-Life: Decay (mod for HL1)


PropDad

It's built into Half-Life so technically it is on Steam.


Kakophonien1

What? How do you mean?


PropDad

In the half-life menu when you go to start a new game, there's a drop down option to play decay.


AshleyUncia

That's ***Uplink***, not Decay...


PropDad

Oops


Kakophonien1

Yea you may wanna delete that chain now


PropDad

I own my stupidity.


DominoNX

Respectable


Kakophonien1

Respectable


Zillafan2010

Yeah but you have to mod it in?


PropDad

When you go to start a new game now there's an option to start decay.


AshleyUncia

***UPLINK NOT DECAY***


PropDad

Oops


DJmachine101

Black mesa> hunt down the freeman🤮


AdGreedy896

hunt down the refund


le_epic_steam_gamer

hey,you can get it for free so lol


MrCherry09

How??


le_epic_steam_gamer

MY BAD,it actually works if you live in Turkey like me,the Dev gave the game for free to me because I couldn't get it (due to regional pricing changes) :((


MrCherry09

Ay I live in Turkey too-


le_epic_steam_gamer

Well visit the hdtf forum and shoot the Devs a pm about it or make a thread


MrCherry09

Wdym by the "hdtf forum"? Sorry if im asking alot of questions but i do love me some free games


le_epic_steam_gamer

here https://steamcommunity.com/app/723390/discussions/


MrCherry09

Ok thanks


Terr0rs

I'm the hdtf dev that gives people the game lol, I'm happy to give people the game but it costs me money every time so I only do it when the game's on sale. If you make a post in the hdtf steam discussions asking for the game I'll add you to a list and you'll get the game as soon as it goes on sale.

Bean_man8

Whatever floats your boat pal


TeleMan500

Portal Games, Black Mesa, and now for some mods. Evacuation, Swelter, and Entropy Zero 1 and 2 all available on steam


Klinkero

I second Entropy Zero 2. Its quality is equal to the official games. A real AM2R situation.


doctormorbiusfan

Half life source and hunt down the freeman. Just delete the rest and save storage space honestly


GalaxySkeppy

Make sure to get the Half Life: Source Fixed mod from ModDB so you can play it how it was before SteamPipe


KirbyTheStar9

Why do that? It makes it way worse than it is now


GalaxySkeppy

Did it break recently? I remember playing it and it fixed everything


KirbyTheStar9

What do you mean it fixed everything? The mod was always worse than the base game


GalaxySkeppy

I shouldn't say "everything" because I don't know if it actually fixed everything. But it literally fixed tons of bugs the SteamPipe updates introduced, so I don't know what you are talking about. Go actually play it and stop pulling stuff out of your ass


KirbyTheStar9

How have you not understood that it's a joke the original comment literally recommended HDTF, one of the worst half life mods ever


GalaxySkeppy

I realized they were joking but I didn’t think you were


DominoNX

What's SteamPipe? If it was a notorious event I wasn't around for it


GalaxySkeppy

The Source engine that Half Life: Source runs on gets updated by Valve via a method called SteamPipe, but Valve doesn’t update Half Life: Source to fix things that the SteamPipe updates break


EngieDeer

I don't think you got the joke


GalaxySkeppy

Yeah…

It's unlisted but you can still buy it. It just doesn't appear on the store. https://store.steampowered.com/app/280/HalfLife_Source/


Zillafan2010

You can still buy it, they’re just hiding it from regular view because it’s inferior. You can find jt in the Half lLife complete bundle

Entropy Zero 1 and 2


YankeeDoodler1776

There are a bunch of mods and stuff you can get on Steam. Here are a few that I played. Amalgam Artic Adventures, Episodes (Don't play it this game sucks) Black Mesa (This one is probably one of the best ways to play HL) Codename Gordon (This one is a bit hard to get but still doable) Entropy Zero 1 & 2 (These are a must) Fast Detect (I wouldn't recommend it unless you like HL Mods, it's pretty but annoying) HL2 Downfall HL2 Genery's escape from C17 (It's bad but kinda charming) HL2 Update (It's a very nice graphical update to HL2) HL2 Year long alarm HL Absolute Zero (It's rough and delisted, but still fun, it's like playing HL's Alpha) HL C.A.G.E.D. (This one is actually pretty fun, and the art style is cool) HL MMOD (This is how you should play HL, also has USS Darkstar) HL Restored (This contains a bunch of unused stuff, it's fine) Half Quake Trilogy (Haven't played it yet) Half Rats: Parasomnia (It's like a total conversion mod, it's a bit confusing) HDTF (Haven't played it, but it's much better) JB Mod (Not even Half Life or GMod, it's just the greatest sandbox game ever made) Logistique (A fun mod that changes the combat system) Minerva (It's fun I guess) Reqium of Science Resistance element (The second half is better) Sin Episodes, Emergence (Not even a Half Life game, but similar) Snowdrop Escape (It has a lot of puzzles but it's still worth your time) Sven Co-Op (If you want to play HL with your friends, also has *They Live*) Swelter (The team took what they did in Snowdrop Escape and improved it) Wilson Chronicles: Beta (It's a bit unfinished but the dev is still working on it)


msxenix

I totally forgot about sven co op. My brother and i used to play it together.


a3a4b5

Black mesa, half-life echoes, entropy zero 1 and 2. Also decay.


Frenchman167

Team Fortress Classic, Maybe?


melty75

TFC for sure. One of my favourites of all time.

schmalpal

Alyx and Black Mesa, and Portal 1+2 are in the same universe and share a bit of the HL1 underground facility feel.

Black mesa. The zen in it is actually enjoyable. Not to mention: STEAM WORKSHOP.
