The Orange Box is one of the best collections of computer games in the history of the digital entertainment industry. In addition to the original Half-Life 2 and its two episodic sequels, the compilation includes the revolutionary Portal and the sequel to the cult-based online shooter Team Fortress.
In the original Half-Life 2, the player once again takes up the infamous crowbar of scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on Earth, captured by an alien race. The resources of the native planet are depleted, and the population is dwindling not by the day, but by the hour. Those who remain alive only have hope in Gordon – he is the last hope for salvation. Half-Life 2: Episode One continues the story of Dr. Freeman, who must face the consequences of his actions in City 17. Gordon, along with Alyx Vance, continues the fierce struggle against the Combine forces. Half-Life 2: Episode Two is the second part of the continuation of the magnificent saga about the theoretical physicist Gordon Freeman, where the player is transported beyond City 17.
In Portal, Valve managed to combine seemingly completely opposite gaming genres: first-person action and puzzle. The result exceeded all expectations – the game was warmly received by critics and received numerous awards worldwide. In addition to the original thrilling gameplay, you will also find stunning graphics on the famous Source engine, great sound, and a wonderful storyline.
Team Fortress 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the cult online game from Valve, which is characterized by a complex gameplay balance based on clearly structured classes of players. The game is based on the legendary Source engine and uses its capabilities to the fullest – the graphics are remarkably original and stylish, the sound and voice won't bore players even after several years, and the Havok physics leaves many competitors far behind. The gameplay was polished to perfection by developers over several years – now you can safely forget about dominant classes and strict player gradation based on their skills, as everything depends only on team cohesion. Join one of the many quality official or fan servers, choose a class that you like, and dive into the most thrilling online tactical game in the world!
