It's time to conclude the Half-Life series retrospective by looking at the final (at least, for now!) game in the franchise — Half-Life 2: Episode Two. Although Valve planned to release more Half-Life games following its release, Episode Two stood as the final game in the Half-Life saga until Half-Life: Alyx was announced. Is Half-Life 2: Episode Two a satisfying ending and a solid Half-Life game? Let's finish this retrospective series and find out! #HalfLife2EpisodeTwo #ValveSoftware #HalfLifeAlyx
