ya i'd consider this an official unofficial expansion. uh aside from the voice acting it really felt Real. i did get used to kevin's(?) voice after a while. also the game felt reallllly long? i cant really remember how long the other ones were tho. so there's certainly content. also unlike every other protag i found myself not caring about stefan. sorry to stefan. Yea play this its pretty good

it's what it says on the tin. and that's fine, it was nice to look at! i liked playing portal. it's a good game. the problem, though, is that I think my computer starts like. fusing. or something. smells electrical. i don't have a beefy computer, but it is very good, i think? idk its a ship of theseus that i didn't build BUT it should be able to handle this? so I'm not sure what about it is so 'taxing'. grow up. i'll try playing this again in winter idk lol
really really good. it made black mesa labs actually feel like a place and not just a set. and xen is stunning. i actually felt bad for the npcs that died or i had to leave behind...... BUT! this does end up feeling like a completely diff experience to HL1, so i don't think it can be used as like a replacement for that. personally. lived up to the hype that's 4 sure

i love differing perspectives so this + blue shift was really fun. i liked the details you can glean about adrian's personality through the animations; specifically the one where he pats that alien gun or whatever. reminds me of that gordon animation where he tries to get the bug to bite his finger. the powered chestplate was interesting, I guess it makes sense? but it also shows even further that barney was ass out no good armour the whole time.....
