A short and solid fun little romp through the Half-Life universe, also taking place parallel to Half-Life 1 much akin to Half-Life: Blue Shift, with some notable callbacks as well. Gearbox puts out a much better showing here than they did with Blue Shift. There's more enemy diversity, more weapon diversity, and the flow/pacing of the game is much better. Not only that, but it doesn't feel like the level design is working against me at times, unlike Blue Shift and parts of Half-Life 1. In that way, it feels like a mix of Half-Life and a more modern linear FPS. Which is fitting, seeing that you're a soldier. If you're a Half-Life fan, give this one a spin if you haven't already. It's definitely worth a play and will respect your time too.
