Este juego te hace amar los ascensores. Si odiás los ascensores jugá esto y se te cura.
for an expansion that's only a few hours long, I had a great time. Getting to experience the Black Mesa Incident from Barney Calhoun's perspective was such a cool idea. Seeing familiar locations from another point of view made the whole disaster feel even bigger, and it was fun recognizing places from the original Half-Life while realizing everything was happening at the same time. And that ending... Come on, Valve. You can't just end it there. Watching Barney, Dr. Rosenberg, Dr. Simmons and Walter Bennet finally escape Black Mesa in the portal prototype after everything they survived was incredibly satisfying... but then the game just ends. Talk about a cliffhanger. Even after all these years, I still would've loved to see what happened to Barney immediately after that escape. My only real complaint is that it's simply too short. I finished it in one sitting and honestly wanted another few chapters.

Моя вторая игра из half-life. Всё тот же баг с сохранениями во время проигрывания скрипта, но ничего страшного я захотела запечетлить конец, когда в конце [spoiler] ТЕЛЕПОРТИТ И ВИДНО, ГДЕ ТАЩАТ ФРИМАНА БЕЗ СОЗНАНИЯ [/spoiler]. Игра очень коротка без катсцен (то что я называю скриптами, потому что это неполноченные анимации). Заняло бы у меня 1-1.5 часа, но так как в этой игре еще больше непонятно какие я задачи преследую, потому что нет никакого таскменеджера или русской озвучки, то я проходила 4 часа вместе с SpecterChannel никогда о нем раньше не слышала, но он мне помог он разбавил мое непонимание от епроисходящего, потому что он играет в ту же и впринципе интересно рассказывает, а ну еще в эти 4 часа у меня еще часовой перерыв. Теперь можете подчитывать сколько на прохождение уйдет, а еще очень важно в нее лучше играть после прохождения основной игры про гордона
Unplayable ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lmao
It was an okay game, it doesn't do anything too different from the other games but it's more Half-Life, which is inherently good. Very short and a strange uptick in difficulty compared to the other games. The new models don't look great, but it's acceptable enough.
не так уж и плохо
После прохождения игры мне кажется, что должен кому то пиво

Got this for like 50 cent I think, if you like Half-Life, its a fun 2 hours
w dlc, story is pretty nice too and feels satisfying
