The game stands the test of time even ten years later. Still, in my opinion, the ultimate single-player campaign that truly achieves everything it set out to do: the beginning feels rushed and anxious, the middle slow and creepy, later weird and wide-open and the end comes together just in time to make you feel like a god but never undeservingly-so because it's a hell of a trying journey to get there.
The game drops you non-chalantly into the role of Gordan Freeman and manages to never make the tight-lipped scientist a caricature of himself. As soon as you seem to have the current level format down, the game either elaborates on that or changes it altogether and perfectly timed for the duration of experience. The use of in-game physics towers above virtually all other title's attempts at doing so (minus a couple other Valve games) and has done so for a decade.

The "Kid A" of current videogames: Shaped ten years of content but was never necessarily elaborated on.
I thought it would be neat to review a title ten years to the day that I first installed it (and Steam altogther) but really, what can be said about it? I guess that it's more fun than generally all the games I play today in 2015.
