I liked how the third one went in a completely different direction instead of rehashing what made Max Max yet again. It’s a bit of a shock at first but it makes sense, especially since a lot of time has passed.
There’s even one or two turns in the story that play out very differently from how it would have played out in the first two games because the overarching theme is a bit different. You can tell it’s still Max though.

I should honestly try the 3rd one. These days I don’t really play FPSs other than replaying HL1/HL2 (and their expansions) and Max Payne 1/2 usually in back to back sessions.
I would of course play HL3 (still have to play HLA; I don’t have an index).

Alyx is overrated. Half-Life 2 in VR is awesome.

Would love to try both. I wouldn’t even mind Hl1 in VR (HL1 is my favourite in the series, other release are examplry as well).

HL1 is fun, but a little bit jank. The HL2 VR mod feels like the game was made for VR.
Manual reloading plays a big part. Ravenholm hits different when you need to load the shotgun shell-by-shell yourself instead of pressing a button.
