The original graphics, physics, and performance were incredible for the time, but to be fair, that's not what you're running when you download HL2 on steam today. The textures have been silently updated many times over the years. Your mind's eye says "yeah, this is how I remember it", and I've seen multiple streamers playing it for the first time thinking they're seeing the original textures from 2004.
