This looks bad. You can't just slap new tech on a game and expect it to be great. Half Life 2 is stylized a certain way, based on the tech available at the time. This makes the game look... Off... Not a fan of RTX remakes, they always look like this. Bland, flat, no soul.

Some parts look fine, but those Ravenholm scenes look terrible compared to Vanilla HL2. Completely kills the dim, gloomy vibe that defined it when every light source is basically a floodlight.

Yeah agreed, it looks washed out, if you could alter the brightness and keep the darkness and suspense it'd be great.
