Style, the increase in puzzle aspects, larger interconnected maps with backtracking. HL still blew them away in every category, though.
Comment on [Mini Poll] Which of these games feels closest to the original Half-Life?
YUART@feddit.org 16 hours agoHi, about Quake 2 - do you mean it was the most similar to the original Half-Life because of style? Or rather because of the main “idea”, genre, and plot? Just interested in your opinion

Quake 2 came before HL. HL used the quake engine and was also heavily influenced by the game itself.
