HL:A doesn't really feel like a Half-Life game. I really like it, but it's a different kind of game than the others. I won't argue it's better than HL2 in every way, but I'm definitely enjoying it more than HL2. Large parts of 2 felt like a slog for me, and I haven't felt that way about anything in Alyx yet.

>HLA was such a step back it's almost insulting
In some ways, yeah, but it's certainly not worse in every way.
