Timeline Series review by flippedoutkyrii

This series simply got better and better with every installment. While it's unfortunate that not nearly enough games tackle the idea of time-travel as much as alternate history scenarios, it does make Timeline a lot more memorable for being so. While the first installment was engaging and ambitious, it was rather clunky around the edges, this con was stamped out with the next couple of speedy released that grew longer and contained plenty of new ideas and locations with some nice inspiration and nods to great songs. The gameplay is basic for a hL mod, but there is no need to fix something that isn't broken, and many fights can become quite frantic yet still fair. My only complaint about the entire series is the large number of backtracking sequences, and there are times where fast-paced players will simply get lost. For me, this is a small blemish on an otherwise great series with plenty of memorable sequences that are still fresh in my mind all these years. No true HL fan should miss this timeless series :)This series simply got better and better with every installment.
