Since this is a community made mod, not a game made by a company, you really can't complain about it much. But honestly, the team behind Echoes, knew what they were doing and are to be praised, especially the level designers. The level design is like nothing I've seen in any hl mod, really pushing the limits. The rig animation is also really impressive when you notice it and the re-use of cut-content was very cool. The plot is, there, nothing to write home about really, it's there and more for people who are invested in the hl universe than anything.
The environment of this mod is top notch. I have only played a couple of half-life mods, and this is my second best with first being Field Intensity.
The only thing that I didn't like about this mod is the number of enemies it throws at you. I felt that this one is hard even at medium difficulty level. I had to straight up cheat in the last military fight😜.
Overall, it is amongst the best mod for half-life. If you are a half-life fan and up for a challenge, then this is a must play.

very very solid mod! the looping level design is something i've always thought would be cool in an fps, but it didn't quite hit for me the way i thought it would, and the music being stock kevin macleod stuff is a bit immersion-breaking if you've heard it all before a hundred times. but it's so pretty! and the storytelling is really well-executed! the setpieces are great! and it's half-life combat, who doesn't love that? definitely stands tall next to Blue Shift/Opposing Force, even if it's not quite everything i love about HL1
Echoes is good. I think the praise it receives is earned. But it's not perfect. I think the encounter design is frankly wack, the game just throws too many enemies at you. And the part where you have to crawl past the bodies with the snarks in them is not fun. But this is still a well made and very competent mod. I would say it is worth a play, but I would probably play it on normal mode if I were you.
Truly amazing mod, even better than Blue Shift or Opposing Force. The map designs were amazing, the story as well. I kinda wished they leaned more into the Survival Horror aspect of the first few chapters, but that's ok.
Não ironicamente, um dos melhores mods.
