A sequel to Half-Life 2 was inevitable, but rather than create another full-length game, Valve decided to focus on smaller, episodic releases. The first of those games was Half-Life 2: Episode One, which directly continued the story of Half-Life. Is it a decent follow-up and a solid Half-Life game? The Half-Life series retrospective is almost over, so let's see if Episode One holds up! #HalfLife2EpisodeOne #ValveSoftware #HalfLifeAlyx
