The Half-Life series is filled with so many mysteries. While The G-Man could be considered the biggest, The Combine are a very close second. This multi-dimensional alien empire jumped from universe to universe in their quest to conquer all life. On their traversal though alien worlds, they encountered entire civilizations and they took what they wanted from them. Their world, technology and lives.

What makes this empire one of the most terrifying entities in video game history? How important were the Combine Advisors? What was the worst thing they did to humanity? And what was their ultimate goal? In this video, we explore Half-Life’s biggest threat through the lore, story, and theories behind The Combine.
