good game

Probably the best free game you can download right now.

Easy to learn, hard to master.
Great difficulty based progression, intuitive controls and good and simple QoL.
5 mins after starting the download, you're already in the core of the gameplay.

This mod feels like the creator doesn't really understand Half-Life.
Most gameplay changes to AI / weapons / maps - don't really make any sense and are a downgrade in many cases.
While many of these changes are optional, some are not.
(I've played on Hard difficulty.)

Here are some of the examples:
- Alien Grunts in the original game are the opposites of Human Grunts gameplay-wise and one of the most interesting enemies in the game. While fighting Human Grunts, you have to avoid open spaces, fast movement doesn't work against them as they use unavoidable firearms, the solution is a good use of map layouts and utility weapons such as Greandes or Snarks to fool their behaviour or damage them from behind cover.
The Alien Grunts precisely target you behind covers, so the solution is to use the reverse tactic - that is avoid covers, seek open-spaces and fast movement.
So what MMod does? It nerfs their seeking projectiles, they barely seek player now, the player no longer has to revise his tactics as covers are fairly safe now, irronically they are even safer now compared to Human Grunts, because they don't throw Grenades. Additionally with MMod they sometimes flinch for a long time when taking damage making them an absolute joke, a late-game enemy now is weaker than a Human Grunt.

- The Crossbow, which was already an inferior weapon to the .357 Magnum (in Singleplayer at least), is now much slower to shoot for some reason. Also shooting it underwater is even harder now due to decreased shooting speed, while the .357 Magnum now receives a zoom option making the existence purpose of the Crossbow questionable. (I think I'd rather use the pistol.)

- The map changes! They're weird, and at this point also unbalanced, because only some of the maps are changed. The first chapters have much more enemies and less ammo. At some point, additional enemies stop and ammo pickups go back to normal, the difficulty curve is really weird now. The enemy changes are also fairly boring, mostly just added lots of zombies, sometimes even other enemies replaced with even more zombies.. ugh... In other cases there are Alien Slaves spawning in places where their attacks cannot be really avoided, and those parts of the game were already hard for many.

Overall while the mod does some things well, it's neither a good replacement for the original, and neither something that's worth a whole replay. (At it's current state.)

It's just Episode 3, but in alternative timeline.

yes

epic

Despite the game being talked about as a "walking simulator" it had less boring moments than METAL GEAR SOLID V.
Most of the game is planning ahead, later in the game it's just combat, riding on ziplines and watching 2 hour cutscenes.

paid demo lmao, but at least it's good

its fine, simple story, metroidvania elements, okay length, a little too generic presentation

just great
