Not to derail the conversation at hand, nor the one from the last few pages, but what even is Half Life considered these days beyond "FPS"? It's not a "Boomer Shooter" right? And "Immersive Sim" apparently isn't right either.
Well I mean, here's the user Steam tags for HL1 and HL2.

Yeah I don't think it's a boomershooter, those are more for Doomlikes or Quakelikes. Nor is it an immersive sim, tbh the first thing that comes to mind for those types of games is Deus Ex. I suppose 'narrative driven FPS' would be most fitting?

It's a Half-Like. Like there are Roguelikes.
