That was my very first Half-Life. Its incredibly high reputation naturally raised my expectations significantly. It only managed to live up to those expectations in some areas. It’s undoubtedly a very good game, and it deserves its reputation. Back then, Half-Life 1 must have been wild. What I liked best was the beginning, when you’re still discovering everything and don’t yet know what’s going on, and the end, when you’re so powerful that you can blast your way through those flying things. The middle part in the desert wasn’t really my thing. I’d like to specifically praise the level design again. There are no annoying signs or anything like that. The level is designed in such a way that the player is guided in the right direction without even really noticing it. That’s why it’s so satisfying to move through the level. You always feel a sense of accomplishment. Gameplay: 9/10 Story: 6/10 Music: 8/10 Replay Value: 7/10 Main Story, Black Mesa, 16h

Оригинал не проходил но смотрел прохождения и игра хороша с учет того что сюжету 20+ лет
I would 100% have recommended this if not for three things: 1. Xen is insanely long now. I thought the complaints were just about the Xen chapter itself, but no, I mean Xen, Gonarch's Lair, and Interloper are so long it's honestly a bit exhausting considering what two of the achievements require. 2. Speaking of those two achievements. Jesus Christ. The reward truly does not justify the headache of carting two items from earlier in the game to the very end of the game. Not to mention you hit a point where you can't bring along both anymore so you're left to slog through most of Interloper and then defeat the big bad all over again. This wouldn't be an issue if not for number 3. 3. The two items required themselves. The hat may as well have a rocket attached to it with how often it'll just go off on it's own adventure, often times out of reach or off of the map, and good luck getting the pizza box through most small spaces. It's big, clunky, and vents absolutely hate it. If you want to play the game one time through and ignore the two most tedious achievements I've ever dealt with, then it's a great game. If you want to 100% the game then I'd recommend just playing Half-Life 1. Graphics aside the original still holds up really well.
A great retelling and expansion of the original Half Life. Much much longer, almost to a fault, but they give you a complete experience that the original just couldn't for many reasons. Very approachable in difficulty with very few sore spots that frustrate. Could be a bit better graphically with better use of proper spec-maps over all that leave a dullness to everything. Seems they squeezed the engine to it's limit and there wasn't room for anything else. Definitely didn't push my 3080, rarely going over 10-15%. Seems they were aiming at PS3 level specs.
Solid remake but Xen part is still the worst gaming experience of my life
Un remake que no solo recrea a la perfección el juego original, también añade nuevo contenido y expande el universo de HL y mejora muchos niveles y dinamicas de combate, altamente recomendado.

Лучший шутер всех времен!
Props to the team for this fantastic remaster. I'll warmly recommend it for people interested in the half life universe. Also props for the Xen world addition, was fun to discover it
