Yeah, the graphics are surely dated, in my opinion it still looks nice, HL has a great art-style. The gameplay is still great, smooth and fun, even if it's not like modern games with dozens of mechanics, this style of FPS isn't outdated.
Yeah, indie games is the way, feels like the early days of gaming when games needed to be good to sell.
I'm still playing AAA games but indies are really a breath of fresh air.

I always was a PC gamer, but I loved the PSP, it was insane how good the PSP was back then. Now I have a Steam Deck and it's the best of both worlds, I would've loved having that kind of thing when I was a kid.
