It’s one of the best shooters I’ve ever played, 10/10. Also I have not played Half-Life 1, partly bc I find its graphics hard to look at

      Black Mesa, aside from just graphical and audio overhauls, also uses different (many would say tougher) enemy AIs, which significantly changes the sort of strategy which the player uses for encounters. Much of the game is also pretty significantly reworked, I believe On A Rail is much shorter and the Xen chapters are muuuuch longer and waaaay better. Black Mesa also adds more puzzles, making some use of the physics simulation of the Source game engine.

      All in all, it’s the same story as Half Life, but a pretty significantly different experience.

    I have it on Steam but my laptop is so ass that I can’t run it with decent graphics. Also, the og HL1 is very good for a '98 game, and it’s at most 5 hours, you should check it out

    Half-Life rules!

    Eventually Valve will learn how to count to 3, it took Rockstar 10 years to learn to count to 6.
