Only a lazy gamer still hasn't bought it yet. Now is your chance to beat this cool game! It’s amazing even today, because that's why a lot of people are waiting for Half-Life 3 (I hope we will wait for it, because there is too much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ going on in the world).

For the 20th anniversary of Half-Life 2, Lost Coast was merged with the base game, and it is now no longer available as a standalone game.

For Half-Life 2's 20th anniversary, Episode One and Episode Two were merged with the base game and now they no longer appear as separate games.

My introduction to Steam was over 10 years ago in 2014 and the GTA Collection (III, VC, SA, IV/EFLC) were some of my very first licensed games here ♡

I absolutely love every part of Grand Theft Auto, there is no one that I love more or less, but specifically GTA IV I'll never be able to forget. It is a very complex and adult story, the darkest of all the games of this franchise. Even more serious than in GTA III (hello Liberty City 2001 version from the 2008).
From the very first mission the game gives inexpressible feelings, emotions are off the charts. I replayed the story after 10 years and enjoyed it immensely, I'm not even afraid to say that this game saved my soul. SHIt happens that you are in a very difficult moral state and replaying this game was able to help me a little bit to cope with this sh*t.

ONE OF THE BEST OPEN WORLDS IN VIDEOGAMES!
I won't talk about the story, this game is 16 YEARS OLD!!! and everyone is very familiar with it. I'll just say that this dystopian atmosphere of New York, which is called Liberty City here, is where it gets better for me. It's one of my favorite cities in real life, I adore its history, aesthetics, diversity, I'm in love with it to the point of madness and it's in this setting that I feel awesome.
Liberty City from the HD universe is almost an exact replica of the city of New York. The most important landmarks and the general spirit have been perfectly recreated here. I can't even imagine what kind of labor was done for this. And in GTA V even more. And in GTA VI there will be even more..

I just want to get in the car, turn on the music and drive for hours along the wide avenues of Manhattan, the cozy streets of Brooklyn, the colorful neighborhoods of the Bronx and Queens, also visit actually another state - New Jersey, and even get on a boat or plane and go to Liberty Island. Passing beautiful bridges and enjoying the views of this great city. By the way, there is a nice little thing with bridges - you have to pay 5$ for each pass :) It's just like in real life.
By the way, about the music, there are cool radio stations, but in Complete Edition many songs were removed, so just download the appropriate mod, which brings back the original radio in the game. And the music on the loading screen is especially great!

And also walking through Times Square at night is generally one of my favorite things to do in the game. The city comes alive at night and you want to explore it even more, because during the day it's not always beautiful because of the gloomy filter. It's also fun to visit Cluckin' Bell or Burger Shot, drink Sprunk. There are many more interesting things to do in this city besides story and side quests. Make relationships with girls from a dating site, for example. It will not be boring here if you are not a boring person yourself, if you like to explore the world and are open to something new.

Technically this game is also a masterpiece, for 2008 it has an unrealistic amount of cool and realistic details that aren't even now in 2024 games! The physics here are amazing, better than in GTA V, everyone knows that. But unfortunately the game has a lot of optimization issues.

Steam version of GTA IV is terrible (with GTA:SA by the way the same situation), so to play comfortably you need to install some mods, optimizing the game, and improve the graphics. If you are interested in what I have installed, just ask and I will tell you.

I don't want to summarize anything, I come back to this game regularly, it really saves me.
I didn't mention Episodes from Liberty City, they have their own review.
100% I haven't said much more about this game yet, it doesn't need to. It's wordlessly gorgeous and deserves a quality remaster, not one like the Trilogy has.

Now I will wait for GTA Vice City Stories and GTA Liberty City Stories on PC for another 10 years.


~UPDATED~

I finished Red Dead Redemption 2 almost 5 years ago and I really wanted to go through its storyline sequel, I hadn't played RDR at all before that, I even wanted to buy a PS3 from someone only for the this game but left that idea. And now I finally got through the first part, and I'm unrealistically happy about it.
Now I want to replay RDR 2 again, it's one of my all-time favorite game franchises - I have a special love for wild west and early 20th century America. Thanks for the masterpieces, Rockstar. GTA in western style that’s what's really needed.

I don't have anything new to say about this legendary game from Team Silent, which is now 23 years old. The Japanese know how to make an unforgettable work of art that will be relevant for many years to come, and this game showed it perfectly, as it got a good remake.

As someone who at one time didn't have a PS1, PS2 and only got a PC for the first time in 2007, it's a pleasure to play a reimagining of those old popular games that I missed on my gamer journey.

SILENT HILL 2 is a very heavy emotional story, I would rather call it a psychological thriller than a horror. The game is frightening not by monsters, but by human actions, and this city attracts the heroes for a reason. Each of them has his own trauma, which Silent Hill will tell in the most horrible details.

In my restless dream, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised you'd take me there again someday. But you never did. Well, I'm alone there now, in our "special place". Waiting for you.

I think Bloober Team did well and of course many are now waiting for the 1st and 3rd parts of this great franchise. I want more fog and abstract monsters (as Pyramid Head) with this great musical accompaniment! I feel like I have gone through another Resident Evil game and I'm even enjoying it.

Ubisoft hasn't realized yet that their games are not needed anywhere besides Steam? How many more failed launch sales do you need to realize that you need to release your games here immediately, not a year later.

Visually the game is awesome, as always. It's very pleasant to wander through the ancient streets of Baghdad, each street as if lives its own life, and it's amazingly beautiful. The atmosphere of the Middle East is appealing.

It's good, but I'd like more classic trucks in the game
