Is this a significant drawback? Definitely not, because the most important is the impression. But back there it wasn’t even impossible to break the computer monitor in game.
Well, what did you want from the 2004 year game? Nowadays of course you can interact with everything, carry it with you or use it as a weapon. This speaks of the jewelry endurance of the playing time. The episodes end exactly where it gets boring. The player will not be bored even for a second: either you solve puzzles, then you try to get out of the trouble alive, then you watch the plot whirlwinds. A huge number of opponents against a small detachment of resistance, spectacular battles, ruthless murders – this is practically the real world in which the whole story is as believable as possible. The development of events takes place in the Black Mesa Corporation.
In the final battle of the game, the Advisor orders Breen to teleport using the Dark Fusion Reactor of the Citadel to enter their own universe, where it demands Breen be put in a host body (presumably another Advisor) to survive. We can say that the second episode is the canon of the 3D Action genre. A single Combine Advisor serves as the Bigger Bad/Greater Scope Villain, occasionally seen on screens giving Wallace Breen orders. The success of this franchise began with the first part of the game.
