20 minutes worth of half-life
also finished on mmod on hard

About a chapter's worth of new content. Not amazing, but it scratches that little Half-Life itch

A great short demo of Half Life.

I wish more demos were quick little vertical slices of the game like this. Neat to have Valve officially put this back into the main game.

Nessa sexta-feira, Half-Life, a minha série de FPS favorita, completou 25 anos. Em uma atualização especial comemorativa do aniversário, a Valve disponibilizou a demo do jogo original, Uplink, novamente.

Em um nível de 20-30 minutos, a desenvolvedora consegue encapsular toda a natureza emergente, os níveis elaborados que possibilitam exploração tanto geográfica quanto de gameplay por parte do jogador e um senso de constante tensão que o jogo original trabalha.

Como é curto, recomendo bastante que joguem, mas somente depois de completar a campanha oficial do primeiro jogo (e talvez as expansões Opposing Force e Blue Shift, mas aí acho que vai de cada um)

Half-Life: Uplink is a scraped chapter that was repurposed as a special Demo of the game, it's really straightforward and only takes 20 minutes to finish, you might as well try it out with how short it is and it was finally ported to the Steam version of Half-Life with its 25th-anniversary update.

There's not much reason to rate this game as it has no reason to exist as a standalone game.

Прикольное демо, которое добавили в обновлении на юбилей оригинальной игры.

Underrated tech demo. Side note, for anyone wondering why it seems rushed, it's because it was. The developers that worked on the tech demo were only given 2 weeks to push out a demo, and working with the goldsrc engine at that time was ass.

Valve's vertical slice demo plays to all the strengths of Half-Life, without spoiling any of that game's surprises, and leaves you needing more. Even their cut content runs circles around their contemporaries.

Very nice little demo of what's to come. Not much else to say on it other then that.

Very cool demo as it has a unique scenario that got cut from the actual game. I enjoyed it but it feels more like the typical games of its era with the level design rather than Half-Life, so I see why this was cut and revised.

cute little demo content. short and sweet, definitely got me in the half-life itch again

Зачем это существует?

Played this with the 25th Anniversary Update. A good reminder when demos back then used to be this fun. Glad its finally back in the main game.

Just a genuinely good half life level.

Es básicamente un nivel del Half-Life original, dura 20 minutitos y está entretenido como acompañamiento para los que nos gusta el juego base.

Good to have this back with the 25th anniversary of Half Life. Good demo showcasing what the game is all about.

Eh, it's fine I guess. Pretty much just a demo that uses some new content that may or may not have been cut from the final game, so its neat for that.


Good demo. Finished in 30 minutes though.

Eu sabia que essa demo existia e que não era coisa da minha cabeça

greg coomercels stay winning

It's cool asf to see Valve go all out with this anniversary
