The first is a bit rough. It got a remake with Black Mesa which used to be free, but I don't think it is any more.

I'd honestly just start with 2. It's a better game all round. You can always go back and play Black Mesa later if you like it.

If you have a VR headset and a decent rig, Half Life Alyx is well worth it. I'd definitely play HL2 plus Episodes 1 and 2 before heading into that one.

Sheeiit I absolutely loved the first one, even only having played it for the first time last year. I was blown away at how well it holds up. I do recommend trying it if you have even a morsel of interest. Just my personal 2 cents tho.
