Half-Life 1 or 2?
Half Life 2 by a mile. That’s one of the lowest hanging fruit on the tree. HL1 isn’t very good.

Seems the unanimous choice on the web. I’ve never owned a PlayStation. It’s not on the mini or Xbox or Switch. Unless I drop $40 for an Xbox 360 Konami collection.
Wait, I can pair a wireless Xbox controller to an iPad and play it for $3?

I played them all.. didn't love them because I have trouble caring about a character who clearly you're supposed to sympathize with, but how can you when he apparently has no qualms with killing so many people? I'd like to see some sadness or shame about what he's been through. Also he just seems like a regular guy that somehow has all these abilities. It's too silly and inconsistent. But A Thief's End has to be the best of the series. But I also dislike Indian Jones so there's that

I thought you'd say this. I mean that this series feels like it's trying to be grounded in reality with a normal good guy character in cut scenes who doesn't really seem to be the same guy you play as who kills millions of people without batting an eye. It would have worked better for me if the character seemed just a tad maniacal or the cut scenes were more surreal. I don't know what other games are like this. In a game like RDRII, it is completely plausible that the characters do what they do. Even if it is a bit far fetched and surreal, it still feels consistent.

It's a valid critique. But it's also a game with quite of a bit of supernatural elements.
How can you not like Indiana Jones?!

The supernatural elements don't really have anything to do with the characters and the realistic feeling of the world. It's like, everything is normal, he sets off to steal a fortune, murders a bunch of people, everything is normal, and then some magical MacGuffins show up, murder more people, get kidnapped, normal guy, more magical MacGuffins and murder, normal guy gets the girl and money happy ending. These are the same reasons I don't like Indiana Jones. I don't feel invested. These games are like Indiana Jones with a much less interesting, less realized character and dumber plots.

i mean if they just changed the look of the world to be a little more surreal or cartoony it could have worked better.. just something other than what they did.. it doesn't work

No offense, but this is a truly terrible take.
