⭐️ Score

5.5/8

⚖️ Criteria

🟡 AI : Still functional but showing its age. Enemies behave well but don’t evolve from the base game.
🟢 Bugs : The game runs smoothly with no significant issues or crashes
🟡 Level Design : Well-crafted environments, but the levels feel less memorable and more linear compared to the original Half-Life
🔴 Lifetime : Extremely short. With a runtime of just 3 to 5 hours, it feels more like a brief episode than a standalone expansion
🟢 Gameplay : The gameplay remains solid with classic Half-Life mechanics, but there’s little innovation or new content to distinguish it
🟡 Scenario : Playing as Barney Calhoun is an interesting perspective, but the story feels shallow and lacks major impactful moments
🟢 Soundtrack : The music and sound effects are strong, adding immersion, but they’re largely recycled from the main game

ℹ️ Information

📌 Difficulty : Medium
📌 PC Required : Any
📌 Value for money : Interesting for hardcore fans of Half-Life, but its short length makes it hard to justify as a standalone purchase

🧾 Legend

🟢 Good (1 pt)

While the world and level design are as enriching as any Half Life game, the shallow combat and janky character AI make this an easy pass, 20 years later
