The year is 2022 and we haven't seen a new Half-Life game other than Half-Life Alyx. So I decided to try Black Mesa, the fan-made remake of the Half-Life. And I can say that it was a pretty good experience. While playing Black Mesa, you can see how much the producers love the series and stick to the original game down to the smallest details. I can say that Black Mesa offers a Half-Life 2 level Half-Life 1 experience. The graphics and lighting are good enough and use Half-Life's famous source engine quite successfully. The level designs and scenario are very faithful to the original game. Small but good changes have been made on a few levels. I can say that especially the Xen level has undergone a change on its own. I find the Xen level in the original game quite boring, but with the lighting and graphics in Black Mesa it looks great. The only minus is that there are quite a lot of puzzles in the level. Boss battles have become more epic than in the original game. Especially the Nihilanth's movement scheme and features have been increased, which is a pretty good thing. In conclusion, Black-Mesa is a great remake that is very faithful to the original. The original game is quite old, so if you are afraid to play it, you can start the series with Black Mesa with peace of mind.
