I'm not young. But 25 years after the hype, I am finally getting around to playing half life (1)! Stupidly missed the free action, but paid a few eurocents for it. They're totally worth it! Awesome game, holds up very very well after two and a half decades!

Also, if you bailed after driving the hovercraft, maybe you didn't get to Black Mesa East, or Ravenholm? IMHO that's where things really ramp up: story-wise (you meet more allies), and you get a better glimpse at the endgame. You get a neat tool to use (which also was mind-blowing in 2004, less so almost twenty years later), too.

If you don't dig it though, I wouldn't force it. I'm a fan of science fiction more than fantasy, so I've never finished a Dishonored game, but I love Prey. Just doesn't hook me the way I know it could...just not my particular vibe I guess, which I think is OK.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
