Можно обдристаться
Круть!
Легендарная игра, в представлении не нуждается
Хорошая работа. Все выдержано, атмосферно в духе оригинальной игры без лишнего. И главное, без этих режущих глаз обновленных моделей. За это высшая оценка.
Good
A great Lovecraftian tale! Really good mapping and atmosphere with some surreal geometry and dread-inducing layouts. The library was a bit samey-looking with lack of clear direction so I got stuck until I saw what to do in a video walkthrough (Thanks amnesiaPUZZLES!). Other than that and some janky level geometry that was tricky to get over sometimes, I very much enjoyed this!
Pretty decent short mod. Overall score: 7.3
Think the main detractors are the lack of NPCs and lots of unused areas, particularly Radar. Thankfully speed and jump height are high.
Encountered a bug with the skybox being visible through terrain several times and it's very distracting.
Gunplay felt good but anomalies are instant kills. Bloodsuckers are also one shots, big problem with the 40kg limit.
When trying to backtrack to the village I accidentally went to Radar and got instakilled by the monoliths waiting in the level entrance. That area needs to be removed.
Some other flaws stem from bugged AI and scripts pasted over from vanilla making some enemies stand in place doing nothing or spawning again when backtracking.
Ending is abrupt. Wish granter is still working but doesn't end the game, it should be blocked off.
It's a good mod, but the mapping is generally a bit off-kilter.
Well, however, there is another mod that is being developed by Korean developers called Zombie Edition: Residual Agent.
But, mapping in Residual Agent looks great.
Ngl, even being a very simple ordinary game, we have to agree that this dude opened doors for indie horror back in the day, even with simple graphics and simple mechanics this game still have a good atmosphere.
And we have to remember that, this is not a Horror Game, but a Horror Experience, like that SCP Games and Imscared from 2012
A Very Fun Mod But It Has A Few Too Many Weapons..
This is Half Life how you remember it but better.
This Chapter in the Black Mesa story is so canonically well paced and and superbly executed.
It thrives of a couple of main factors like many years of experience with the goldsrc engine, lots of custom work and leans fully into the nostalgia.
But newcomers can enjoy this spectacle even so.
It goes to show, this single player experience is a love letter by fans for fans.
The love for Half-Life is deeply rooted in this modern masterpiece.
labor of love. i will be forever gratefull people pour their soul and sweat into these mod to give us some quality lotr content
the best lotr mod for total war there is. maybe one day we will have a real official tolkien total war but even so probably it will be less good than this one.
When you're 40, look like 30, have a beautiful Bombshell and you're gonna retire in Las Vegas by 50, you don't give a **** at how bad the map packs you're being packaged in are.
Should have heeded your advice when you said "Red means stop".
Not worth it.
Review for Upgrade Edition:
Game play wise this mod is ok but not spectacular. To often we face the same enemies over and over again. Mostly Zombies and headcrabs and later on reskinned Grunts portrayed as Black Ops. There's a Story but it's rather confusing due to broken English.
Story: Apparently this plays before the famous Resonance Cascade Gordon Freeman caused yet we witness another Cascade although a minor one on it's scale. At the same time some shadow Organization known as Black Hawk infiltrates Black Mesa and is also responsible for various sabotage acts within the facility and even on an outpost on Xen.
We as protagonist now try to eliminate the threat and even receive some aid from allied HECU Grunts & Security guards along the way. Our primary goal seems to destroy the Crystals that keep yet another rift between Earth & XEN open.
Pro:
+Lengthy play time.
+Voice Acting and in game texts in very broken English but still better than getting nothing at all. So thanks to the Russian author thinking on the international audiences.
+Custom notes and lap tops to interact with portraying more of the Story line.
+Classic old school mapping and game play It felt very reminiscent to mods of the early 2000s.
Contra:
-At times terrible level transitions
-Plot refers to events 5 years prior. Unless I missed a mod from this author I had no idea what they were talking about.
-Both texts and voice acting are so broken. I had a really hard time understanding what was even meant.
-Mediocre mapping throughout the mod. Still a whole lot better than most 1st time releases out there.
If proper texts and voices were permitted I'd enhance my score to 9 of 10.
Review for Operation alive:
Much smoother maps and game play await in this one. While the maps are an improvement over upgrade Edition maps the npc scripting and ambience audio aspects are still on a far inferior level throughout. Sadly this mod is also rather short compared to upgrade edition and more of a minor map pack. I required like 35 minutes to play through the pack.
Story: You play a soldier & must link up with one of your fellow squads to obtain some vital documents. Once achieved try to get the hell outta Black Mesa and evacuate any BMRF survivors you may encounter and your fellow grunts.
I will give 6 because it need open jk...if you manage to adapt without it or make open jk as option aside...i can review correctly.
