Why this level in Half-Life 2 is Peak Horror

[@McOxigen]

Brother, you put my entire childhood into one neatly crafted video essay. That level itself does activate some feelings that rarely games can match. Valve is all about pioneering the gaming industry and they are unmatched .

@@McOxigen we shared the same childhood. Thanks for the support ❤️

You cooked with the final compilation of half life references

In my view, Father Grigori doesn't amplify the dread at all. He's a powerful beacon of light among the darkness that is Ravenholm.

[@GamerPsychoYT]

Spooked 9 year old me when I first heard his laugh though 😐

Don’t forget Half-Life Alyx added to Half Life 2 Episode 2s ending. The ending changes a massive story point then the after credit sequence gave me CHILLS in VR

[@GamerPsychoYT]

Never played Alyx though. Don't own a VR set 😔

Another great video. Also excellent editing! The video flows seamlessly and keeps me engaged throughout. Bravo! Another masterpiece.

Script is well written. Good choice of content too. I still have gamer-PTSD from this hellish level.

[@GamerPsychoYT]

Tell me about it. Playing it again did wonders though. Ty for the comment ❤️

[@irishtnt]

Oh I was like 'Vagrant Holiday has uploaded!' but still enjoyed it nonetheless

[@padraigdon1657]

Would like to see GTA 4 Video next! Especially "Three Leaf Clover" mission 😊

[@GamerPsychoYT]

You can read my mind or what. I had already planned to do it December first half. GTA 4 is ❤️

[@JesusAnyNameWillDo]

The Last Of Us basement level could make for a good subject... the rat king level in Part 2. The Dathomir/Nightsister storyline from Jedi Fallen Order has always been a favourite of mine too!

[@GamerPsychoYT]

Nice suggestions. Shall look into them. Ty for the love 💝

Have you played the game Dusk?

[@GamerPsychoYT]

Omg. Didn't expect this comment. Love the game. I own the whole New Blood bundle. When I started my channel my banner was a quote by Hakita. I haven't started covering indie games in this channel though. Doesn't have the audience yet.

[@ItsMeKevinYT]

Looks basic imo tbh.

[@GamerPsychoYT]

You have to play it tbh. Something I reiterated in the epilogue.

​​@@GamerPsychoYT i just finished it last night, it's not that scared. Maybe it's because i love horror games so much, so the atmosphere is 3.7/10 but the lore of ravenholm is 10/10. I get Half-Life 2 for free after 20th anniversary. And the game is great.

[@GamerPsychoYT]

Yeah I can see your point. But as a kid the level left a deep impact. HL2 was never a horror game and digital horror has evolved so much now. Playing it in 2004-05, with that Source engine graphics that was capable of burning my gfx card. You had to be there. Ty for your thoughts ❤️
