THANK YOU FOR REMOVING THE WORMS DEAR CROWBAR COLLECTIVE
Extremely awesome remake of the OG genre-bending game. Only have one complaint: it's a bit too long. I wish Xen was cut down to like 1-1.5 hours max. Otherwise, fantastic.
Лучший ремейк по столь легендарной игре, всем рекомендую попробовать!
хороший ремейк первой халвы, зен довольно хорошо и красиво сделан, модельки врагов и оружия прям зашли, особенно нравится что патроны на магнум и спас в большом количестве и находятся почти во всех нычках с боеприпасами
재밌음
不如半条命2好玩,关卡设计一坨狗屎
So for a TLDR ; Black Mesa is a fan remake of the original 1998 Half life 1, it takes various creative liberties (Such as cutting a deal of on the rail, redoing the startup of the first combat level, extending Xen, a lot to what feels like 50% of the game, with a whole lot of plug puzzles) ; I would recommend playing this game after playing the original Half life 1 Graphics: 100% better than HL1 in quality (be it this is no surprise for a 1998 vs 2020 game) Gameplay: It is similar to normal Half life 1 for the various parts ( Achievements: This one is here (And is one I rarely do) due to the fact there are Three different grab physics item & haul it along through a large chunk of the game (Purple hat for chapter 2 to just before the finale, Pizza and a gas canister for less time but overlap with each other) ; I wish any who wish to do this at the same time Good Luck. Level Design : Various levels have a very familar layout, others massively change things/cut things out (Xen has been both revamped in looks, gameplay, and so on) Issues of note: AMD GPU crashing issues as of this time.
