I tried to help an old lady... someone throw me a rope, I think I'm stuck!

Game seems legitimately broken, constantly stuck into the environment, "Flaps" often not applying despite the indicator showing.

Game is less than 10 min long...

Simply a very nice little game. I would recommend that if you have young children that you consider playing this with them.

It's not a bad game... Just incredibly dated.

AVOID!

Much better mods for free!
Game is poorly designed from a gameplay perspective and boring as all hell.

I appreciate that the developer actually finished a game and respect for that!
That does not mean its worth a single second of your time though!

I played the original mod version of Black Mesa the instant it came out a couple of years ago and loved it!

Already started my second playthough, this time with the Steam edition and have to say it's just as good as I remember, if not even better. I feel little bits and bats have been added along the way but nothing really stands out as a change. I suppose this is a good thing really, it's not easy to improve on near perfection! I am also recording a let's play over on my YouTube channel.

Overall, I have to say, Black Mesa is a near perfect Half-Life reboot. I doubt even Valve could have done a much better job. Now, with all the hype recently about "Paid Mods", I want to just say...

THIS IS WHY MODDERS DESERVE TO BE PAID!
Worth every single penny and 10/10 would pay for a mod again!

Beware...

I just dropped the full asking price for this game only to then find out its 1/8th of the price on IOS. However, that is not my biggest problem... The game is simply not what you are likely expecting from reading the store page and looking at the videos and screenshots. Like they mention in the store, I was expecting a Zelda like experiance and that is simply not what you have here...

I feel the game is aimed towards 5 - 10 year old children and the mention of "RPG" while accurate by definition it is NOT what I think 95% of you guys out there class as "RPG".

If you have children and you want to get them a simple game that you can play together then this would be perfect... However, if you are the "typical 13-30" year old bloke... There are likely games much cheaper that would give you more enjoyment. In short... Not the type of game the store page would leave you to believe. Would be great for young children, parents and people that enjoy their point and click/collection games.

Call of Duty: Ghost is the latest installment in gamings biggest franchise. Let's get right to the point...

The PC Port is simply not good enough! Be it strange frame rate limits, horrible field of view and sub par visuals. If everything else was fine then I would most likely be able to let these issues slide. However, on top of all this we have the crappy performance that makes the game almost unplayable on even the best of systems. The gameplay is pretty much what you can expect from a Call of Duty title... So if thats all your after... Go ahead... Good Luck...
