This mod is terrible! You don't need to pay for it, but you'll be wasting too much of your time. I think that your time is too valuable to be wasted on this! I'll be happy to tell you why. Before I start though, be aware of the fact that the mod has two levels only, from what a lot of people said. I also couldn't get to the second level because of technically issues, the game crashed always!

You're Andrew Winner, a Black Mesa scientist tasked with the recovery of these strange crystals that come from the Xen dimension. Sounds like a big adventure involving different scenarios and awesome levels. No, don't expect that, the story doesn't go very deep either.

You know what Half-Life 1 does well? Pacing! Half-Life 1 doesn't throw you everything all at once. Gradually, the gameplay is kept fresh by throwing the necessary weapons and enemies over time. It also gives you a good number of ammunition, not too much and not too little. This game throws everything all at once ruining the pacing and that also wrecks the balance too.

Levels are too small and have cheap spawn traps. I entered a room filled with soldiers that easily tore me apart with bullets without me having the chance to ready myself. I can't shoot them unless I get in front of them, of which then they slaughter me!

The first boss level is ridiculous! It's a silly-looking monster that drops his Barnacle-like tongue and all you need to do is move around. There are also projectiles that are too slow to hit you. The boss is so weak that I beat him in 30 seconds. This is nothing!

This game is clearly unoptimized and unpolished. I had problems launching it since it said the executable was missing, the game would crash randomly and when I tried to go to the next level, it blocked! My PC laptop isn't game-focused, it's a Toshiba L500-13W but it can easily run without any difficulty Half-Life 1 and the Source version too. It can even run Half-Life 2 at 60 FPS! With this game I had to turn off vertical sync so the frame rate wouldn't drop below 30, but even then it had problems holding onto 60! This game is made in the GoldSrc, one of the most basic and oldest engines to date but it doesn't preform well. It's not finished from the looks of it. Finally, I can't get to the next and last level of the game!

The only thing the mod does well is the gun remodels and some action sequences. Why is it on Steam? Why was it greenlit? How? I do not know but do not play it for the love of whatever you consider holy! I don't recommend it!

I have no idea how this was greenlighted.

PROS: Honestly, none
CONS:
-You're just dropped into the game with no idea of what's happening
-There were several typos. I could understand it, but...really?
-It only took about 10 minutes to beat
-It wasn't even fun- I found myself having to crouch in the doorway because I got pummeled from the enemies outside.

"New levels and story" it says. Well, where is it? I was expecting a little bit of backstory before they dropped you into the game, but nope!

This. This is amazing game, really. Not many games gets us into brainstorming about WHAT THE ♥♥♥♥ ACTUALLY HAPPENED. So, if someone didn't get the plot: You're on your mission to stop Gabe Newell's madness. He greenlights alot of horrible games, You make your way trough brainless zombies AKA steam greenlighters that voted for this and probably most of the mobile games that are on steam at this moment. So, after you get trough that and get on captain's desk, you see that ship is under control of INSANE MOD MAKERS, they're trying to get their mod greenlit and nothing going to stop them. Except you. So, after dealing with that, you think it's finally over. But no, the only sane person on this ship reveals himself. They locked that poor guy because he didn't agree on getting this game greenlit. They possibly bullied him, he got terrified, that's why his grammar is so affected. He tells you that Gaben got completely mad, he greenlit ALL of the horrible games out there. Guy opens a "cavgo doors" for you, you fall inside just to meet Gaben face to face. Then, you see him. He consumes dorrito and gets very powerful. After that, he tries to lick your private places. But BOOM. You did it. Madness has stopped. No more ♥♥♥♥ty greenlight games on steam. You make dorrito that fell from his exploded belly your trophy. And that's the end. But i got it that it was another demension all along, that's why madness haven't stopped in our world. AND THAT'S WHY THIS GAME IS GREENLIT DAMMNIT

An incredibly simple mod for Half-Life, no changes, just different maps and a new storyline.

Couldn't complete due to a crash after defeating the sorry excuse of a boss (which was no fault on my part).

Features include "Intense action" and "high definition models". These are both false as I did not feel the least bit intense during the mod as there were only few enemies and the soundtrack, which was the only intense, and good, thing about this mod, continued long after the short battles, making the atmosphere feel humorous rather than epic.

As for the models, the only things I noticed different from the original Half-Life was a couple re-textures here and there.

- Positives
+ Good soundtrack

- Negatives
+ No voice-overs, subtitles included bad spelling and grammar
+ Incredibly short, nothing noteworthy to praise
+ Store page's description is filled with lies, which is, as far as I'm aware of, illegal

Overall rating: 2/10

Was that all? I'm throughly disappointed. The creator could have done a lot better than... this.

Two levels that you can blow through in about 10 minutes. Don't tell me that this is actually acceptable. A game gets accepted for Steam, the most popular gaming platform on PC, and this is what we get?

The fact that this is called a challenge is nothing short of laughable. It might be the easiest mod I've ever played.

There are lots of grammatical errors, too. The developer of this mod's first language isn't English, that's for sure. The least he could've done is get someone to spellcheck.

Don't waste your time on this.
