12 Great Video Game Characters Who Deserve A Comeback
1. Gordon Freeman - Half-Life
There are of course a number of good reasons why this character is the most deserving of a comeback, but in case you have been living under a rock all these years, let's go over some of the most obvious.
The Half-Life series was a revolutionary set of games for their time and Gordon Freeman was at the centre of its story. Even though he is a completely silent protagonist, the games did an exceptional job of immersing the players in the games world and wanting to see Gordon and friends emerge victorious against the Combine and the mysterious G-Man.
Half-Life 2 did receive the Episode 1 and 2 story DLC, and Half-Life Alyx did make multiple mentions and references to Gordon, but it is still not enough. For many fans, they are stuck in limbo as Valve continues to make spinoff games in the Half Life world, but not a direct sequel to Gordon’s story.
It’s no wonder that after all this time, fans of the series are still desperate for closure and want Valve to announce that Half-Life 3, and Gordon Freeman’s return, is finally confirmed.
