Oh finally a game I wanted to write a review about for a long time.

Black Mesa is the perfect remake for the original Half-Life game. It has amazing visuals, graphics and it's much bigger than the original. What I loved most about this game is Xen world. I won't lie if I say that I bought this game because of the Xen world screenshots :)
The soundtrack during the fights or when you encounter something in the game is amazing, it's epic! Some of my friends disliked the Black Mesa game because it's too long and "sometimes boring". I played the original 3 times and gotta be honest Half-Life was my first serious game. My brother downloaded it for me when I was 5-6 yo.

For me it was an amazing experience, I loved everything about this game. Old shooters are the best shooters and this game proved that for me one more time.
I definitely recommend it and I'm looking forward to play the next project from the Crowbar Collective developer team (if I'm not mistaken it'll be Half-Life: Opposing Force remake)

Black Mesa is a great remake of Half-Life 1. I'm currently at the Xen chapter, and I love what they've done with it so far. The addition of the enclosures showing that the scientists were there is a fantastic touch. It really adds to the immersion.

My only complaint is with the collision detection on some of the rocks and props—it feels a bit off. Sometimes, when you try to snipe, bullets stop mid-air when they should have cleared the obstacle. However, this is a minor issue. Other than that, it's an excellent game. I’d give it an 8/10

To all you Mom's out there this game is awesomest! Go buy it for your kids and tell your friends, tell your friends, tell your friends!!!!!!
