Half-Life 2 is an FPS developed as a sequel to Half-Life, which was released in 1998. It attracted a lot of attention due to its beautiful graphics, which were made possible by the Source Engine, a game engine that Valve spent five years developing, and its realistic reproduction of physical phenomena.
