Maybe it's because I played them too late, but while I mostly had a blast playing HL2, the first one never clicked for me.

I know, it's been very influential and new when it released, but it was still quite straight a FPS game. Whereas HL2 is like a crazy theme park of different ambiences and mechanics.
