Reviews

“A quality remake that broadens the scope of the original and massively improves its final chapters.”
84 – PC Gamer

“Black Mesa Source winds up being exactly what it always promised to be – a modernised, faithful recreation of a deservedly landmark first-person shooter.”
Rock Paper Shotgun

“It's a brilliant tribute to one of the greatest videogames ever made, and it's also a good game in its own right.”
8/10 – Destructoid

About This Game

Relive Half-Life

Black Mesa is the fan-made reimagining of Valve Software’s Half-Life.

Black Mesa: Definitive Edition

Update 1.5 brings together all the improvements to graphics and gameplay across 15 years of development to create the final version of Black Mesa. There has never been a better time to pick up the crowbar and play!

Single Player Campaign

You are Gordon Freeman, a theoretical physicist at the Black Mesa Research Facility. When a routine experiment goes horribly wrong, you must fight your way through an interdimensional alien invasion, and a bloodthirsty military clean-up crew in order to save the science team... and the world!

Features

  • A completely reimagined and refined single player campaign, including all new and expanded Xen levels
  • 19 chapters of fighting through top-secret labs, running atop harsh desert landscapes, sneaking into abandoned railways, and leaping across dimensions
  • Mind-Blowing graphics and effects, never before seen on the Source Engine
  • Face off against an army of classic enemies, updated with new features and engaging AI
  • Wield an arsenal of military hardware, scientific prototypes, and the iconic crowbar through incredibly detailed environments
  • The all-new soundtrack and voice acting create a more immersive experience than ever before
  • 50 Fun and challenging achievements

  • Bounce
  • Gasworks
  • Stalkyard
  • Undertow
  • Crossfire
