Guys, if you havan’t played it yet, now it’s your time. The game is absolutely fantastic. It has one of the best level designs I’ve ever seen in a game
There is the black Mesa mod/project which revamps the graphics if that’s a showstopper for you. But it’s worth playing.
it’s nothing like a mod they built a replica from the ground up
There are people on Steam who haven’t played Half-Life?
In my case I never had it activated on Steam
I got into PC gaming in 2015 and finished HL2 before HL1 then finished BM instead, so technically I’ve never touched og HL before
Black Mesa is missing nothing from the original, polished every single aspect of the game to a beautiful shine and it’s relatively cheap. You aren’t missing anything, it should be considered the definitive way to play the original now IMO.
If you haven’t played HL1 before and you end up enjoying it and you have the money to spare; give Black Mesa a try. For my money it’s the best remake any game has ever received and the fact that it was done by fans is astonishing when you see the level of polish that went into it.
Played through the original game a few times now. I also played through the Black Mesa fan remake.
Half-Life forever
