that moment when the valve theme song kicks in during chapter 12 as you exit the pipe and look out into the endless canyon abyss below you is the peak of the entire game to me
The xen section is absolutely a pain in the ass to play through thanks to the platforming, but to this day I'm not sure if any other game has been able make another world feel so genuinely weird and alien. There's a real sense that there's some strange ecosystem that exists there.
