Im sorry, 7 years for a HL2 level recreated and modified for UE5?
Barely 10 minutes of gameplay and issues galore.

Its supposed to be a fan made continuation of the original HL2 story yet the game feels nothing like a Half Life game.
The physics are jank, the movement has weird issues of getting stuck on the smallest of props (I assume I get stuck on props since there is no sound effect for props colliding with the map) and the ragdolls feel nothing like the Source engine ones and glitch out often, the weapon animations feel stiff and theres no slight movement of the weapon when moving the camera around so it feels like the weapons were glued to you.

The only thing I can praise is how nice the map and models look like. The HL Alyx headcrab ragdoll after jumping is an interesting decision, it doesnt really change much for a non-VR game but its funny to see nonetheless.
SInce its UE5 of course the performance is dogwater for non beefy PCs.

I really hope this is just an old demo from 5 years ago the devs found on an old hard drive that they decided to use as a teaser and the full game(mod???) will release soon(TM).
Otherwise I dont see a bright future or a future at all for this game(mod???), depending on how the devs decide to take further actions/developments. Hopefully it doesnt end up as another abandoned project.
