How does the first game compared to the second game? And how are the Half Life 2 episodes 1 & 2 compared to the main Half-Life 2?

HL1 did not age very well. If you're interested in that check out the Black Mesa fan remake.

HL2 ep 1 & 2 continue the story of HL2 and are definitely worth playing. except for the cliffhanger ending of 2 that's never ever going to be resolved :(

Are the episodes better than the actual main game?

I've never played HL1, but I found that Episode 1 and Episode 2 basically distill everything good about HL2 into smaller, funner games.
Not that HL2 isn't good, but if I ever want to replay it, I skip a bunch of unfun missions whereas I play basically all of Episode 1 and Episode 2.

Play in order

Black Mesa, HL2, episodes

Not playing these games is doing yourself a disservice

If I don't have a gaming PC and don't want to play it on the PC, how can I ever play these games? I only have PlayStation consoles.

I know there's The Orange Box but it only contains episode 2...

Orange Box is the only way. It contains full HL2 with both episodes. but warning: the load times are miserable.

Is Half-Life 2 overrated or should I expect one of the best games of all time?

Half-Life 2 is overrated but still fun today. The gravity gun is great, the atmosphere is great. Appropriately challenging combat, puzzles, exploration.

I didn't care for what I played of 1, but the Black Mesa remake was very well done. HL2 episodes are both shit, IMO

Very excited to try out Half Life Alyx though
