Half-Life 2

Half-Life 2 is a legendary shooter from Valve, detailing the adventures of the physicist Gordon Freeman, who needs no introduction. The game's story begins with the protagonist leaving the secret research complex "Black Mesa" after a catastrophe caused by an experiment on a mysterious alien crystal. As a result of this experiment, aggressive aliens from the border world of Xen begin to teleport en masse to Earth.

The game uses the Source engine, which at the time of its release provided unparalleled graphics quality and realistic physics. Objects in the game have their own weight and react to interactions with the environment.
