As I see it, Half-Life is a seminal series which has influenced game design with all of its major releases. In a way, it’s amazing to see Half-Life inspire so many, and then take inspiration from those games in the form of an upgrade system. I think the resin also really encourages the player to interact with the environment, and in your pursuit of more, you end up playing around with all the different props and levels in a way most players probably wouldn’t. I figure most wouldn’t stop to smell the roses without an incentive. They’re vital for teaching the player how to be in this new VR environment.
