The best game in history. An incredible retelling of the original with flawless storytelling that stays true to the source material, stunning graphics, and redesigned combat that feels more meaningful to the story. It also expands on parts of the Half-Life lore that the original game never explored in such depth. If you're wondering whether you should buy it, don't hesitate. I've beaten the original Half-Life six times, and not once did I enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the 11 hours this masterpiece gave me. Now it's my turn to 100% the game—your turn is to experience it for yourself. Opportunities like this don't come around often, so don't miss it. Thank you, Crowbar Collective, for creating this masterpiece.
I don't agree with the idea that this game is better than Half-Life 1 and should be played instead of it. Half-Life 1 is a considered a masterpiece for a reason and should be experienced under its own terms, especially because this game does make changes that I believe diminish the experience. Several sections of the game have been made artificially longer by, for example, making you find a valve to screw in to open a door instead of just having a button do the same thing. It's more akin to Half-Life 2's map design in a sense, but it doesn't improve the experience by being there. That being said, Black Mesa is a great game and is worth experiencing as well, but just play Half-Life 1 first. It's impossible to appreciate the changes CC made when developing the game without the proper context.
