CITY 17 (HALF-LIFE)

The Eastern European city of City 17 has been a crucial location in the Half-Life series since Half-Life 2, and has become almost emblematic of what makes Valve’s series so special. Storytelling is something that the Half-Life games have always excelled at, and so often, that City 17 had been central to that side of the series’ experience. There’s just something about creeping through the oppressive streets of the city and witnessing the power of the Combine that never fails to grab attention.
