Half-Life games ranked, worst to best

The Half-Life video game series is among the most renowned gaming franchises of all time, mainly because it represented a transition into a new era for FPS (first-person shooters), but it also left a huge mark on science fiction due to its out-of-the-box thinking, which eventually led to other modern classics such as Portal. Getting into the series might seem dauting at first, but we’re here to make your journey easier with a list of all the Half-Life games ranked, worst to best.

Half-Life’s overarching storyline kicks off when alien lifeforms invade the Black Mesa Research Facility, which is located in the New Mexico desert, through a portal after an experiment goes wrong.

Players assume the role of theoretical physicist (turned action man) Gordon Freeman in the mainline games.
