Valve really went above and beyond for this episode in particular and I'm here for it. An entirely new location, a cool car to drive in that has a radar, more fleshed out combat sequences, a separate battery for the flashlight, and a new enemy that isn't just a kamikaze zombie, this game offers a lot that Episode 1 didn't. I found the whole experience very fun and exciting (except for some of the Victory Mine stuff), as it feels like a new experience rather than a rehash of some stuff you already did in the late game but with more annoying combat sequences.

Just hope a continuation to this isn't too far in the future from now since Half-Life Alyx at least progressed the story by like 30 seconds.
