I remember quitting HL2 at times because "man this is depressing".

A lot of it is quite beautiful.

Yeah I especially liked the section along the coast. Beautiful, but hauntingly beautiful for a lot of it.

I never noticed on my own that the sea level at the coasts is visibly much lower than it should be, because the Combine have been stealing the water.

Such an interesting detail and I totally missed it!

My favorite spot is the final area of Water Hazard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJpGHDZSSt4

I love how each area has the color of the sky change to simulate the passage of time getting closer to sunset as you progress.

You clearly didn't reach Ravenholm because throwing the saws into zombies never been that fun.
