Even the steps of the striders below you echo GordonвЂ™s own heart thumping. The metallic hammering sounds blend well to give an unnerving soundtrack to your journey in the pod. Some music from Half-Life is used to nice effect, but what I really was impressed by is how well the ambient sounds were combined to give the Citadel a musical nature. What stands out for me the most in the Citadel is the audio design.

To add to the sense of being out-of-sorts in an alien environment, the combat also takes an about face with the Super Gravity Gun, we begin to buy into the One Free Man idea вЂ“ maybe we are the all-powerful savior of the rebels after all.

The architecture is certainly Combine, and the blue lighting gives a cold feel to everything. It looks and feels alien, even if it is metal. WeвЂ™ve caught sight of it many times throughout the game, and in вЂњFollow Freeman!вЂќ weвЂ™ve been getting closer and closer to it. ItвЂ™s been the goal ever since we stepped out of the train station and it loomed over the city. None, the elevator is a bit tricky but I have THE weapon. This is the last crab, choose itвЂ™s way to death >). At this point the Citadel seems to be higher and higher. He try to question Gordon about his behave by setting doubts in his mind.ДЇinally, a second pod ride showing more things, especially some Xen animals. He want talking to Gordon, despites his soldiers. The ride in pod shows many things : how the Combine have replaced Vortigaunt in salvation, a djГѓВ -vu, and the conviction that the rebellion is not ready to enter in.ДЄt last, action ! We only have one weapon (sorry for this crowbar, BarnвЂ¦) but what a weapon ! I only can say it was very amazing in my first play, and for many replay later.Дuring infiltration Dr Breen does some speech. ItвЂ™s not the mixing seen in Nova Prospekt, but pure Sci-Fi.

The setting is now clear, no human building or technologies. There, is the very symbolic thing to me : pods noise. Then we enter by lower levels, even it seems to be as deep as itвЂ™s high. I still donвЂ™t understand those hammers, does the Citadel is so heavy, requiring cramming the ground even after itвЂ™s completion ? If we look carefully we can see many vestige in the hole and, upper, a building which is now part of the citadel foundation. When we reach the citadel we only can be impressed by the structure, huge, taller, seems to be fallen from the sky. Our Benefactor is set to show the real aspect of the Combine.
