Is the update actually anything significant?
The full list is on steam, the main thing is it's bundled all hl2 games in one package, integrated workshop for mod installation, and added new developer commentary for hl2. Also a bunch of misc fixes etc.
If you're into the nuts and bolts of game development at all, the commentary is fantastic.
When it first came out, for some reason, I thought all games would start following Valve's lead and introduce commentary.
And now two decades later, I don't know if any other games have.
Then again, we have other ways like game devs talking on podcasts/live stream.
There are some point&click games (like Edna & Harvey: The Breakout) that do that.
