How it feels
A classic first-person shooter with heavy atmosphere and tense action, updated with physics but still feeling like a late-90s sci-fi horror adventure.

What players say
Players call it a buggy port best used for Garry's Mod assets, not as the actual Half-Life experience. The lighting and ragdolls feel off compared to the original, and many say Black Mesa does the remaster idea properly.
