не так уж и плохо
it holds up pretty well. The voice acting is terrible but the actuall gameplay is quite good.

Divertido hasta que tienes que devolverte medio mapa para abrir una puerta.
[h3] Tips for Blue Shift and Opposing Force:[/h3] 1. If your monitor has the option to display Crosshair in OSD settings, you should do it. The one in game is so small its almost invisible with high resolution 2. If you get stuck on elevators (you will), use console (press ~), use command [u]sv_cheats 1[/u], then command [u]noclip[/u]. Now you can move through air. Cancel it by using command [u]noclip[/u] again. [h3]Review:[/h3] Very short (BS took me maybe 3.5 hours, OF 5+ hours). Its more of Half-Life 1 without anything surprisingly new. Both are still enjoyable in 2026
A bit too Short, but Very sweet. I very much enjoyed Blue Shift despite Being able to crank the game out in less than 5 Hours. this Gets A 9/10
