This is a pretty nice fan remake of the original Half Life. Really enjoyed the weapons feeling more competent (except the shotgun), glad I don't have to magdump the SMG on an enemy an pray it was enough to kill them. This game feels a lot more easier to beat than the original because of the weapons rework though I don't mind but I'm sure there's a purist out there who dislikes that. absolutely enjoyed their reimagining of Xen visually and gameplay wise. I think if this was a 1of1 modern remake of HL1 I probably would have rated this lower simply on the premise that the original game had a lot of design choices that weren't really fun to play. Would be interesting to see their interpretations of the Gearbox expansions as well if it was in their interest to.
