К концу превращается в душный симулятор паркура и ходьбы, но ради первой половины игры оно того стоит
No easy difficulty mode. Terrain glitches that cause stuck and invisible obstacles/corners. Many poorly executed timed events (bugs/bad timing). Meh, original was way better.

I am not a big fun of puzzle games, and i haven't played original half-life so this review is not based on nostalgia but the things i truly feel. Game consists of chapters, which i like. And there are some cool weapons you can use. If i would describe this game, i would say Metro 2033 with puzzles. Whenever i wanted to quit, the game kept hooking me into itself. The story is so deep, i found a 3 hours YouTube documentary just for the Gman. I wasn't expecting Xen to be my favorite part, but it completely won me over. Amazing remake from start to finish. (except the lambda core chapter it completely killed the fun) 8/10 It is just 2 bucks on sale, i recommend trying it
es half life 1 pero mas realista xd
10/10
im not done yet

É uma das melhores Fan games que eu já vi
This is how remakes were always supposed to be, not the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ garbage of Activision, Sony or Rockstar. This game preserves and greatly enhances every aspect of Half-Life, but can also be played by someone not familiar with the universe, and I know what I'm saying because I've done like 5 playthroughs on pirated version few years ago, before touching original game. Additional bonus for the fact it's made by fans, and for the most beautiful alien world I've seen so far
I've never played half life 1, but I can say I was thoroughly disappointed when I played this game. If I ever try to play Half life again I know I'm not playing Black Mesa. It crashes more than a bethedsa game. I never beat it because of performance issues.
