Project Three

Спасибо, но такой HALF-LIFE 3 нам нахооооой не нужен

Look, I see the effort that was put into this but there are just a lot of issues and oversights to the point where I just don't see myself recommending it to anyone in this current state, especially with it being paid. The AI is really not special at all, the movement is slow and clunky, combat is as well, and it just doesn't have those pieces of feedback that the half-life series is known for. I wish the developer luck, but in its current state I just can't recommend it.

This genuinely irks me. Had this on my wishlist since 2021 and it was originally based on 'Epistle 3' by Marc Laidlaw, his personal plot summary of what HL2: Ep 3 would have been, which was the entire reason I wishlisted. The dev then decided to completely redesign the game until it was unrecognisable but, wanting to see it's potential, I continued to have it on my list. I have to say I'm genuinely a bit disappointed and it almost hurts to leave a bad review as I was genuinely excited to see it's potential upon it's release. I even purchased the 'Third time's the charm' BTS content as I was curious to see how the game had evolved and changed over the years as the redesigns weren't very public at all to the point I found myself confused a number of times as to whether or not this was even the same game I had wishlisted 4 years ago. I can respect this is early access, with things often being subject to change in products like this, but it has to be said that having played two other of the devs works ('Chat is Real' and 'Abyssal Reflections'), I can't really say I'm filled with hope that anything here is in any likelihood of being updated or changed any time soon as the latter two games are exactly the same in clunkiness in terms of combat, slow moving protagonists and an infuriating lack of checkpoints.

The orignal Half-Life's tagline was "Run. Think. Shoot. Live." Unfortunately this game has none of this.

LEARN PROPER GAME DESIGN AND THE ABILITY TO TELL A STORY PLEASE I BEG

Motion Blur on by default lol It's astounding just how terrible this game is even for its early access state. It looks like garbage and runs like garbage too. The view has a fisheye, a vignette, and a lot of grain effects to where I think you're trying to go for bodycam footage but not only is that a lame idea but it also just looks like cheeks. The lighting especially sucks to a point where it affects gameplay negatively. The flashlight is more blinding than anything and will be disabled almost entirely if you turn bloom off. When you aim down sights with the pistol you'll barely be able to see what you're aiming at since the light from the flashlight is being reflected off the gun and right into your eyes. During the section with all the colorful lights and floating fans and stuff I genuinely couldn't see what I was walking because it was so dark, I had to pay complete attention to where I was walking so I wouldn't fall off, thereby distracting me from what I was actually supposed to be looking at. The sound design is very unpolished and low quality. Some sounds seem ripped from the official Half Life games but somehow with worse sound quality than in those games. The crowbar swing sound cuts off and the fifteen gorgillion explosions in the tripmined section will all overlap and peak, which is admittedly kinda funny when it happens. The gameplay itself sucks, the movement is slow and clunky. The jump feels very heavy it doesn't even feel like you were able to jump more than a foots length, especially prevalent in the tripmine section. The crowbar kills fine but the block feels tacked on, you don't need it for any encounter and doesn't seem to have any effect on headcrabs. The pistol model feels out of place in a Half Life setting, but it also doesn't feel powerful enough for how long it takes to reload it. Bugs are to be expected and everything but there's so many issues that should've been noted during a playtest that its actually embarrassing. For instance, the zombie's shirt will change color on death sometimes and if you get swarmed up against a wall by a group of them they can shove you into the wall and softlock you. The headcrabs and zombies fall with moon gravity, the turrets are a joke since you can literally jump over or duck under the laser. Reloading is extremely annoying, if you press the reload key twice in the same second, you will start to take out the mag but then before you can put bullets in it it'll immediately slot the empty mag back in since that second key press queued the action ahead of you. The one thing I really like though is the death screen. It's really funny when "YOU ARE DEAD" start panning across your screen. Not worth playing or even looking at.

Очередная попытка воссоздать продолжение приключений Гордона Фримена. В целом, вышло так себе - очень-очень сыро. Учитывая движок Unity, я ещё могу простить некоторые огрехи. Вижу, как много усилий было вложено в эту игру, но есть много проблем и упущений. Я просто не могу рекомендовать её кому-либо в нынешнем состоянии, особенно когда она платная. Шутерной составляющей просто нет - чисто хоррор на рельсах. ИИ не отличается особым мастерством, движение всех врагов медленное и неуклюжее, бой тоже, и в нём просто нет тех элементов, которыми славится серия Half-Life. Я желаю разработчикам удачи в разработке, посмотрим что выйдет на релизе - но в нынешнем состоянии я просто не могу её рекомендовать.

its eternity in there

This game is genuine ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It is an insult to half life, half life fans and valve how terrible this game is. The worst part is that it COSTS MONEY, and you need even more money to see the behind the scenes video. Don't give money to these devs, you would genuinely get a better experience from buying Hunt down the Freeman

Even for early access it's pretty terrible. Plus it has stolen assets.
