1 is great as long you can stomach repetitive environments and enemies. great atmosphere that can be genuinely creepy, satisfying shooting and effects, great AI, amazing sound design, intriguing story. first expansion is good albeit feeling like a retread with the second expansion being OK.

2 fixes up some of the first ones faults (environments, enemies, general gameplay mixup), but also takes a step back in others (weaker AI, neutered controls/abilities. very noticeably designed around consoles unlike the first which was built around pc). still good with most of the positives of the first one and a solid continuation of the firsts interesting story.

3 is mediocre at best. competent shooting with one or two interesting sequences and some interesting coop/multiplayer concepts. story is butchered, level design is boring, half the length of the first two games (which were already short). not terrible, but you can very easily tell the devs of 1 and 2 didnt work on 3 and that it started to succumb to the generic shooter fatigue of the early 2010's.
