To add to this, I feel like the innovation in what the gravity gun and physics engine in HL2 allowed you to do was sorely missing. Using your environment and all the objects in it as a potential weapon against enemies, sometimes in creative ways, was phenomenal. Now you can't have any of that. In fact, you can't even fucking break a plank barring a doorway even though the game presents you with all manner of objects you could hold to do such a thing. Instead they force you to take your hands and gently pull them off one by one. Honestly felt like an insult to players who loved HL2.
