Was anyone else floored that Half-Life came out 25 years ago? I mean, of course I can do the math, but it hit me hard how long ago that was.

I remember reading a preview article in PC Gamer about the revolutionary AI in the game, how enemies would follow you if they could hear you and set up ambushes.

Then the first time I played it, having the story told right in the game with characters doing actions that you can look around and see and interact with ... It was clear to everyone at the time that this was the future of storytelling in first-person games.

I'm definitely going to need to try this on my Deck when it arrives and see if the gameplay holds up.
