I remember an ad for Half-Life that was like “Most shooters just have you run and shoot, but Half-Life will make you think.”
It did not. The puzzles weren’t anything a toddler couldnt solve in 2 seconds, there are barely any of them anyway, and most of the game is just running and shooting.
Also the bit really near the start where you ride a lift up and headcrabs with janky hotboxes rain down on Gordon being easily the hardest part of the entire game.

I haven’t played half life. Isn’t the point to make you think more about the story than about the challenge of the game?
