Somewhere in between. Closer to GOAT, though. Every time I think maybe it's nostalgia that's making me revere this game, along with both episodes, so highly, but it takes me 15 minutes of a replay and I'm reminded again how epic HL2 is. Even with how they ended episode 2.

The area where you drop into the mine shaft is scary as shite.

Overrated. I played it on 360, maybe its better on PC though.

I think it's a great game and certainly "up there" with the greats. If you had asked me the moment I finished it years ago, I probably would've said, "Yep! Greatest ever!"
But now if I go back and play it, a lot of the physics based puzzles seem really out of place and kill some of the game's momentum. To me, it dates the series a bit. You can tell Valve was in love with their physics engine and physics in a FPS (to my knowledge) hadn't ever been done like that, so it makes sense.
Episode 1 and 2 largely did away with these types of obstacles, and I think it's a reflection of this realization.
Even still, everyone should play through all the Half-Life games. They stand the test of time for the most part.

Just completed Black Mesa Source last week and I'm going through HL2 again. I thoroughly enjoyed playing through Black Mesa Source and still get the nerd chills playing HL2.
