Valve Index. Actually he should play Portal between Half-life 1 and Half-life 2. The portal games dont matter timeline wise. The original is the way to go. The only advantage that the Source port gives you is physics with some items and ragdolls, and the water looks a lil better.
The recommended playing order is pretty much the release order:. In such cases, I will only list the original version. It is again up to you, personally, to decide whether you would have a greater experience replacing said title for the newer version, or if you in fact wish to play the very first release. The following titles provide story, and are ordered in approximate order.
There are several games the occur around each other, from alternate points of view, which can easily be played in any order. Furthermore, there are several titles that do not provide any form of story, which will be omitted. The following title order will provide you with the main Half-Life plot. They are the main releases, with the episode releases intended to replace the expected long waiting time for Valve to develop an entirely new game. Another feature this game brought was the inclusion of high-definition models and textures, which would also upgrade Half-Life and Half-Life: Opposing Force.
The internet is filled with rumors concerning Half-Life 2: Episode Three. Is it really coming? Have Valve ditched the "episodic structure", and instead, working on Half-Life 3? You will see "episode three" listed within the game series, but be aware that most of it, at present, is speculation.
When the game is released, this answer can be edited to include the appropriate information. I would speculate that, given the amount of time since Episode 2 compared to the time it took to develop Episode One and Episode Twp, and the expectation that an entire Half Life game would take a lot more time, we should be expecting Half Life 3 rather than another episode.
Furthermore, it is possible to "replace" the Gravity Gun in Half-Life 2 with the Portal Gun from Portal, with some easy manipulation on the user-end. If anyone really wants to have more than just a simple answer like my fello slacker answers above, read this. If you become a true fan and wants to know about the game more than just playing, but to treat the storyline as a master piece like if it was a book , then this is the order and reason why to play them:.
Half-Life: Decay OR Decay Or Hazard Team if u do not have a ps2, a ukranian team ported the game to pc, named Decay, Hazard Team is not finished and the development not progressing, source mode Half-Life 2 remake, lets hope they group up with the other modder remake teams so this will be finished. Note that Gearbox games are not yet decided to be cannon or not Portal games are in the same universe and you never know when they are going to combine the characters from within.
If you learn to read AND it is being worked by their development team to finish the chapters in Xen. I mentioned the mods to give a little bit of credit That is as far as i know aboht that mod, that is dead. It would not surprise me, in fact, i am expecting for Valve to recommend players in some kind of announcement to play Black Mesa as they call it cannon for the storyline when they finish Xen ofcourse.
If the other mods are as good as Black Mesa Then play, Portal 1 if you have it. That's my recommendation. That said, please play it after HL1 to compare, and play HL2 after.

The Source version of Half-Life 1 is, and I quote: a digitally remastered version of the critically acclaimed and best selling PC game Needless to say it's smoke and mirrors, there's absolutely no significant difference between the two.

The first of the three planned episodic expansion packs for Half-Life 2 , Episode One picks up immediately after the ending of the main game, taking place mainly within the confines of the Combine Citadel , and the player takes control of Gordon yet again. Episode One was initially released in for Windows, and it was released for the Xbox and the PlayStation 3 in , along with the console port of the main game. The same goes for macOS. Half-Life 2: Episode Two was supposed to be the penultimate expansion for Half-Life 2 , but it ended up being the final one.
Just like Episode One picked up where the main game left off, Episode Two picks up immediately after the events of Episode One. Most agree that Episode Two is way better than Episode One thanks to its diverse levels, new enemies, fairly open environments and a very well-designed semi-open vehicle level.
Overall, it makes for a very dynamic and memorable gameplay experience , and the plot effectively builds up towards a climax which we sadly never got to see.
Next, we have Black Mesa , a full-fledged fan remake of the original Half-Life in the Source engine , complete with updated assets and graphics. Black Mesa had been in development since , but it was released on Steam as an Early Access title in before the full version finally launched in March It is available for Windows and Linux. As the title implies, the protagonist of Half-Life: Alyx is Alyx Vance, and the game is a prequel that explores the events that took place before Half-Life 2.
The game runs on the Source 2 engine, and the gameplay was designed from the ground up with VR in mind. That said, the player can interact with the environment in a much more realistic manner — handling a gun and interacting with various environmental objects has never felt more immersive, and Valve knew how to take advantage of the new possibilities.
The combat is tense , the game encourages exploration , and there are some puzzles thrown in for good measure. Now, this is an amazing VR game, no doubt about that, but therein lies the main issue that some had with Half-Life: Alyx.
As mentioned above, it was built around VR and Valve has stated that they have no intention of making a non-VR version of the game.
