One of the best videogames of all time (if not THE best) according to many, winner of several game of the year awards in an already amazing year for gaming, is a first person shooter with platforming sections and very loose controls and physics that are not suited for such a thing. And don't even get me started on all the other dumb shit in this game, like how it relies on savescumming to get through, or how most of the time it has you fighting the dull bullet sponge soldiers that always know exactly where you are and are dead accurate even with grenades, or also the entirety of XEN. I'm convinced people were simply blown away by the graphics and immersion to even care about the gameplay, I mean all I heard about it back in its day was that the graphics were so good it would never run on my computer. And I'll admit it IS quite immersive, and not just because playing the game is probably about as unpleasant as actually being in gordon's shoes.
