Half-Life 2: Lost Coast for Windows

Half-Life 2: Lost Coast is a free-to-play action experience by Valve, designed to showcase High Dynamic Range (HDR) lighting in the Source engine. Originally meant to be a segment of the classic first-person shooter game, Half-Life 2, it offers players a playable stage with a clear mission. Despite its brevity, it provides a glimpse into the HDR technology and offers a brief but engaging gameplay experience.

Experience a lost stage with new tech

Half-Life 2: Lost Coast was released to highlight the HDR technology, originally intended for the Highway 17 portion of Half-Life 2. Players control Gordon Freeman as he endeavors to reclaim a monastery from the Combine alien empire. The game concludes with a surprising twist, adding depth to the gameplay. However, its major drawback lies in its short playthrough duration.
