Reviews
This game is incredibly unintuitive. It feels like I'm fight with the map design more so than the actual enemies. If this game is a remake of the original, then I dread every having to play it.
Modernized Half Life 1
Ремейк Half-Life. В оригинальный Half-Life я не играл, но захотел познакомиться с этой игрой и наткнулся на этот ремейк. Что я могу сказать? Отличный ремейк, сделанный с душой. Особенно понравился мир Зен — он получился очень красивым. А саундтрек в нём запал мне в душу надолго. Если хотите пройти Half-Life, но боитесь устаревшей графики из девяностых — покупайте этот ремейк, не пожалеете.

Black Mesa is a superb reimagining of the original Half-Life, masterfully updated with a modern game engine. It strikes an excellent balance, faithfully preserving the core experience of the original while thoughtfully introducing novel elements.
A good update to half-life!
Awesome! And the new Xen is beautiful and a lot better than in the original (though the factory level still sucks, except the ending elevator). If you like Half Life 2, you'll like this one. If you like Half Life 1 and aren't a snob, you'll like this too. And yeah, the mines are just as useless here as they were in the first game lol.
Siempre tuve la curiosidad de jugar este juego que siempre escuche que revoluciono la industria y era narrativa y mecanicamente una genialidad, Y para sorpresa de nadie efectivamente me encanto y tener la posibilidad de jugarlo en su version Remake fue reconfortante y cómodo. "GRAN JUEGO, GRAN NARRATIVA, HERMOSO UNIVERSO 9/10"
Es un remasterización muy fiel y muy pulida al original
