I wouldn't recommend this mod, because it doesn't really try anything new. It doesn't really have any particularly notable set pieces, or experimental gameplay differences. On normal difficulty it's decently challenging, but there's no new enemies, the level design is meh, and the voice acting is only OK. Most of the voice actors have eastern european accents, so take with that what you will. It uses weapon animations from mmod, which I'm personally not privy to. It doesn't make any sweeping atmospheric changes compared to other half life mods. It's basically just the same atmosphere as half life 2 episode 2. It doesn't have any custom assets besides a few weapon models.
Obviously it's free, so it won't cost money to give it a shot if you want. But don't waste your time if you have higher expectations for half-life 2 mods.
Overall, it's just slightly below average in my opinion; and I can't help but feel as though I kinda wasted my time playing this.

A short mod of Half Life 2 Episode 2, which borrows its mechanics heavily from Entropy: Zero 2 and Snowdrop Escape.

The mod is entertaining, providing a decent range of content to chew through before it ends. The gameplay mechanics are a veritable mixture of mechanics from existing mods - which is fine, but this mod does not introduce anything new - it is more of what already exists.
This is one of the few mods for Half-Life 2 in which you can Aim Down Sight for every weapon, not unlike Snowdrop Escape. Although, the Combine Rifle's ADS is very inaccurate and thus, it is unusable. Otherwisem the gunplay feels responsive and meaty.
The boss battles are fine, but they do get over very quick. The last boss battle on the other hand, overstays its welcome.

The story of this mod is literally about 'evacuating' from a forest, and was slapped onto this game purely to give the player some motive to move from one location to the other. The voice acting is fine, nothing to write home about.

The environments are quite well designed, but some areas feel very claustrophobic with unnecessary amounts of tall grass obscuring the player's view to cut short on the render distance. The 'puzzles' (if you can call them that) which are sprinkled about are also quite easy to solve, but they do their job of breaking up the monotony of the mod being just a runner n' gunner.

On the whole, this was a really nice timekiller.

6.4/10

Short and charming mod that uses MMod I think. You evacuate your way through dusky forest fighting antlions, zombies, raiders and combine.
