Words cannot truly describe the utter marvel and grandeur of this technical masterpiece, from the adrenaline-induced gunplay that keeps you constantly pushing forward, to the gorgeous graphical design and display, this game would be enough on it's own to stand as a solid Valve title. But they didn't stop there, no. The game in addition features a new character simply known as the fisherman, who is so ingeniously well-crafted as a fictional identity, that it creates a whole new depth in intellectual storytelling. The fisherman does a fantastic job at providing social-commentary on racial tensions and gentrification in America, and really has left a personal impact on me ever since I've finished this.
