A quite fun game and a very enjoyable first experience with the original 'Half Life'. The updated graphics are solid and I didn't mind the style at all, even in 2026. Ran super smooth on my pc, loved all the settings and the quick save and quick load buttons were helpful for getting through more tedious sections (looking at you Interloper). I liked the weapons and the story was enough to keep you moving through the levels. I also appreciated the lack of a waypoint or compass direction that are so prevalent in many modern games. While Black Mesa certainly isn't open world, the clues to guide you to your next objective are often subtle and feel more naturally placed in environments and I appreciate that. Combat was fun if a bit clanky and I did have some frustration in some platforming sections with some janky feeling interactions between my character and the environment, but it certainly wasn't enough to sour my enjoyment of the game. Thumbs up from me, it's a bunch of fun to play.

Igual ao original e uma demonstração boa o unico problema é que os modes não funcionam muito direito mas o resto SUPIMPA!
Playing it after the Original it's definitely the way to do it. You get to appreciate all the hard work and love put together in this masterpiece of REIMAGINENATION. Yes, it's not a remake, It may contain aspects of the original ported to the Source engine, but once you get to Xen, that's where the real magic and love starts flowing in this game. 11/10. Definitely my way to play the first entry of the Half-Life series.
my god what are you doing? have you seen my coffee cup? dont worry, i am a doctor. why do we all have to wear this riDIculous ties? NO I DONT WANT TO DIE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Мне игра показалась очень затянутой, особенно глава "Нарушитель", огромное количество покатушек на конвейерах и постоянный вопрос в голове "Куда мне идти, а главное, что я здесь делаю?". Неочевидное использование механизмов местных, чтобы подняться повыше странное решение. Сломать всё, перевтыкать кабели, а Вортигонты и не против. Финальный босс падает за несколько минут, если понял куда надо бить, а сложность остальной игры выражается чаще всего в подставах для игрока. Самые бесячие мобы - буллсквиды, которые стреляют кислотой без тормозов и даже если повёрнуты к вам хвостом (как пример честного стрелка кислотой в этой серии игр - Рабочий муравьиных львов в ХЛ2). Странный ИИ солдат, которые либо прут к тебе в упор, либо кидают гранаты прямо в карман игроку. Огромное количество лазаний по трубам, корням и прочим штукам, с которых Фримен любит соскальзывать. Прыгнув на что-либо, обязательно будет инерция, которую сложно контролировать. Но тут скорее я криворукий и привык к платформерам в 2D. Из того, что понравилось - неожиданно револьвер. Это оружие, которым я вообще не пользовался в ХЛ2, но в "Мезе" он стреляет, как ружьё, мощно и точно. Инопланетная пушка-рука тоже хороша, особенно её бесконечный боезапас. Первая половина игры довольно интересная даже, до похода в Зен. А Зен лишь в некоторых локациях даёт "вау-эффект", а потом наскучивает. В целом игра на разок. Я хотел узнать историю событий до ХЛ2 - узнал! Но со звёздочкой. Потому что увидеть, что тут происходит можно в игре, а понять только на Вики. Короче, не лучший экспириенс получился.
very good game!
pretty good but if you are playing half life for the first time, I recommend the original
