It's quite a buggy game in general.Ī lot of people complemented the level design of half life 2. I came across the infamous train bug where a train is blocking your way and you have to restart from a previous save to get around it. Half life 2 has a lot of game breaking bugs as well. Why the addition of the AUX power? Limited use of run and the flashlight?. Black Mesa had less gimmicks and the ones it did have like the dodge and long jump were amazing.Īlso. and they just end up getting in your way most of the time. Even chapter 10 where you have a squad you can ' command'. Chapter 8's 'Sandtraps' until chapter 10 was a real bore. Half life 2 breaks up it's levels a little better but again has that middle part of the game.
It's too long and at certain points in the middle of the game it becomes very samey and repetitive until you reach the real alien world designs.
I decided to replay them all and started with Black Mesa as it is remake of the original game.īlack Mesa and I suppose half life's only problem is. Now I haven't played the original Half-life in some time. Now with a Pc in 120fps I can say it's a very enjoyable experience however overall I have to say Black Mesa is the better experience. Saying that I did play half life 2 on the PS3 years ago but never finished it. I just want to give my impressions below. This is my first time completing half life 2. It doesn't get very much later than this one.
