легенda.
Muito interessante e divertido, o jogo prendeu a minha atenção e foi um ótimo acréscimo para a lore de Half Life ao mostrar o ponto de vista de Barney sobre os acontecimentos de Black Mesa. Recomendo a experiência!

Half life from Barney perspective. Since its dated hard to play but recommended anyways!!!
Corto pero muy entretenido para los fans de la franquicia.
Não é ruim, mas é o jogo mais fraco da franquia Half-Life. Blue Shift repete a fórmula da expansão Opposing Force, mas sem nenhuma novidade ou inovação. Mesmo assim, o jogo acaba agregando à lore do mundo de Half-Life, mas sua contribuição é muito pouca, já que tem apenas 3h. O jogo não é de todo mal, ele pode até divertir, mas acaba sendo quase irrelevante para a franquia como um todo.
Bom jogo! Não houve algo diferente como foi no Opposing Forces mas gostei da experiência e acho que explica melhor o que o Barney passou antes de nos encontrarmos com ele no começo de HL2. Acho que as pessoas tem opiniões mistas em relação ao Blue Shift por não agregar muito com chefes novos ou mecânicas novas mas ao menos passa a perspectiva do que ocorreu para quem não tinha muita ideia do que se fazer durante o incidente e a invasão do exército. Não pensei que fosse curto em relação aos outros dois jogos mas não vi nenhum problema nisso.
Very nice game, nice to see how barney made it out. Dr. rosenberg was cool
A cool DLC to Half-Life 1 Enjoyed it slightly more than the original Helps flesh out the storyline for HL2 as Barney Calhoun is the tritagonist of that game More fun cause I didn't have to deal with those stupid army guys 8.5/10, a very fun expansion pack
Anti-climatic and ultimately bad level design. Nothing compared to the original Half Life, or Opposing Force. There's hardly any lore or relevance to the story of Half Life. I know this review is 20 years too late but still felt the needs to comment on the game's poor design.
