#3 Half Life

Half Life

While Wolfenstein 3D brought a new genre to the game industry, Valve showed the world how an FPS is made. Let's not even talk about the genre. Half-Life was revolutionary in all spheres that define a video game.

Speak about narrative, Half-Life incorporated groundbreaking narrative elements. A prime example of it is the way NPCs are used in the game. The NPCs in the game drop numerous hints throughout the game which guide the players in a number of levels in the game.

If a player is not attentive to them, they'll end up getting stuck. Speak of level design, Half-Life took elements from the predecessors of the genre and took it to a whole new level.

The level design is something which can't be discussed in a few lines. It took inspiration, it undertook innovation and the end product was simply phenomenal.
