Great remake of original and improves on it in multiple ways. Updated graphics and engine with more fidelity and they updated later Zen levels to be more engaging. Otherwise, very faithful to the original. Fantastic way to play the classic.
its a lot better than half life
music is great, gameplay is great, everything is good
11/10 great
When I played the original Half Life, I found that the scale of the game was incredible. They managed a LOT with a pretty small team, and made a beautiful FPS game. However, so much was wrong with it. So many bugs, glitches, missing events, dialogue, etc. It felt... unfinished.
So, when I heard of the Black Mesa project, I was truly excited.
They took that old game and made it near perfection, and I enjoy every second of it. Fluid movement and combat, fun encounters, puzzles that can actually be solved just by using common sense. And the textures, my GOD the textures are gorgeous. They help a lot with all the different puzzles.
What these teams have done is remarkable, similar to the original team that created Half Life. Commendations all around, and if you'll excuse me, I'm getting 100% achievements.
the non zen part is part remake / part remaster. but zen holy crap is it so go, and unlike hl1 zen this is not russed and I play it all day for a month. very good game and I really recommend it.
Black Mesa not only raises the bar for all fan remakes of beloved games, it raises the bar for all remakes in general. This game somehow manages to stand toe-to-toe with the source material, a feat that any Half-Life fan knows is a HUGE compliment. The soundtrack is incredible, the atmosphere is superb, the graphics are jaw-dropping. For any fan of Half-Life, you owe it to yourself to experience this labor of love. For the low price of $20, it almost feels too good to be true!
The new puzzles and extended levels, as well as improved AI, and most obvious the graphics, this is the perfect way to relive one of, if not the best single player shooters to have ever been developed.
Amazing game! Bringing back 25 year old memories. You can feel it is a passion project. Good graphics, smarter NPC's and a better challenging Half-Life 1 experience. Kudos to the developers...
This game is great for anyone who is getting into half-life for the first time
If you're new to the half life franchise, you HAVE to try this game.
It's basically a remaster/modernized version of the original Half Life (1998) while staying true to its gameplay and vibe.
One thing I really really like is how this game improved the later chapters sooooo much compared to the original.
For only 20€ this game's a must try!!
An insanely good remake and experience.
Only bad thing is that the last segment does get tedious and drags on
Love it. Played through most of OG Half-life years ago, but never got around to finishing it. This was a great way to experience the game again. I'm not a huge fan of the Xen levels though, even with them being expanded and improved on.
Fantastic remake of HL1. Finally set aside the time to play it and couldn't stop once I started! Campaign is LONG! Highly recommended
I really enjoyed Black Mesa. The first Half-Life was a really great and fun game, and this remake made me love the story and concepts even more again. While not being an exact one to one remake, the flow and story remain the same. There’s lots to talk about.
—------- Minor Spoilers
The newer and overhauled graphics really are what makes this game so good. I was able to put aside the graphical limitations of the original game given its age when I played the original, but Black Mesa really feels like being dropped into the Labs in New Mexico after the resonance cascade. The textures look pretty realistic, the models that aren’t taken from Half-Life 2 are great and feel really at home with those from Valve. This really helps with the immersion. I have to say I actually jumped from my seat a couple times due to the headcrabs or other Zen creatures/zombies. Another cool immersion detail was when you stand next to a radioactive substance. A static covers the screen like it would with a camera which was cool alongside the geiger counter sounds made it a really nice touch. The overhaul of the game, while changing a lot of what was in the original, still felt like a very faithful recreation with some new parts added on which were much appreciated. Most area’s are made larger with more to do and I enjoyed those changes.
With the area’s being larger more guidance was needed which the game did very well. I usually wouldn’t talk about something like guiding the player, but this game did it quite well. Although I did play the original, that was over two years ago so my memory of what to do and where to go wasn’t very helpful. The game was able to easily make exploration of the map feel rewarding and tricks you into progression.
The new voices for the scientist were a nice touch as well. Getting to hear characters like Eli or the G-man was really nice.

Just real quick, I really liked the updated model for the Gonarch.
The two areas which changed the most were “On A Rail”, and the entirety of Zen. “On a Rail” had very minor changes so I won’t talk much. I felt like the cut back on the military parts and streamlined it more compared to the original. I found the original very long and fairly difficult compared to the other areas and thought that this was a nice change.
Zen is honestly beautiful not just the level design, not just the added puzzles and fights and enemies, no just the story telling environment and dictated, not just the swelling scores and haunting choral tracks, but all of it. The original Zen from the first game was nice, but felt almost empty and anticlimactic compared to the game that came before it in my opinion. This new zen honesty is such a nice change that really conveyed the Alien nature. One of my favourite design details that was kinda unexplained was in the level “Interloper”. During the section where you power up the rising and falling green tanks the walls and floor were made of what seemed to be flesh stitched together to form the area which was very unnerving.
The music throughout the game was incredible. I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy the music, but each track perfectly captured the moment. The tense high action tracks when being hunted in Black Mesa and the other worldly and fantastical pieces in Zen really helped with immersion.
Hands down my favourite part of the game was the movement. I know the source engine games are known for their fun and responsive movement, but playing Black Mesa really hammered that home. Bunny hopping in the early levels felt really fun (Made me think I was a pseudo-speedrunner when doing the escort achievements, but we’ll get to those). The boost pack is the culmination of the amazing movement. You zip and zoom through the larger areas of Zen, surfing and gliding on the ground around enemies and the environment. It was so much fun that when I went back to the beginning of the game I was a little sad that I couldn’t keep my fun jet pack….thingy.
The Nihilanth final boss fight was a lot better than the original games. Having three “phases” and plenty of attacks made the fight quite fun. The original game's fight felt very bland and I died a lot [ cause I’m bad :( ], but the new fight felt more fair.
I only have one negative thing to say about the game itself and that was I could lag pretty bad at some points and crashed a few times, but not to the point of being super unplayable. The lag was infrequent and the crashes very rare. I think I crashed two times and that was probably due to me making a shit ton of quicksaves through loading zones.
Not gonna sugar coat it, the achievements for this game are not fun. Ok well, most of them are alright and similar to other game achievements like story progression, weapon kills, hidden secrets, but the THREE count ‘em THREE item escort related achievements is honestly not fun. For all the amazing things you can do in the source engine, holding items and moving them large distances is really a pain. One of these achievements I’d understand. It’s a reference to Half-Life 2 Part 2’s achievement of the same nature, also a pain, but reasonable. Two of them, fine choosing to kill or spare the Gonarch was an interesting change and that escort tied into three different achievements. Annoying, but manageable. THREE is too far. The Hidden Hat isn’t too bad other than it being long. You must take it from the third chapter “Unforeseen Consequences” all the way to the final boss in Zen. The Cyanogen tank was fine. It resides in Zen and it isn’t too far to get it to the teleporter then you don’t need to think about it till the final Gonarch chase. THE PIZZA BOX has to be the most bullshit thing they could have added. You get it in “Questionable Ethics” and also have to take it to the final boss, “it’s a shorter distance than the hat, why is it worse?”. The pizza box is hard to handle, clunky, and always in the way. Multiple times it ate my jump or boost because the hit box is fucky. Vents become a hassle as trying to bring it through can cause it to get stuck somewhere you can’t reach. LADDERS become your worst enemy. The box collides with the guarding of the ladders making bring it anywhere on a ladder stupid hard. You either have to guild it outside the guard and hope you can make it go around the floor once you get to the top, try to find some other way of getting up the distance, or cry and pray to RNGesus while you finagle it up a tight hole. DO NOT go for all achievements or at least skip the pizza box.
That aside, everything else was amazing.
>>>>>>> Spoilers over
Truly a great remake with lots added and changed for the better. I'd give it a go alongside the original Half-Life. 7.5/10
Fantastic remake of a classic, great soundtrack and clearly has a lot of love for the original. This game is worth it if you want to relive Half Life.
Black Mesa is adding a lot of positive change. The game is very enjoyable to play today.
Xen is a masterpeice of game design I have rarely experienced recently.
Single player shooters are almost never this varied and interesting, from the levels, puzzles, physics, enemies and also the music, (MY GOD THE MUSIC!)
Half-Life 1 was always a classic but Black Mesa right here is a supercharged labour of love and worth your attention.
If you only play one single player FPS game in your lifetime, you wouldn't find a lot of titles better than this one.
Bought this years ago when it was not finished, and holy cow does this pay homage and totally bring up to modern standards. I loved all of the new segments in xen, they where honestly incredible. 10/10. when i got to xen i was blown away with how much it was expanded and improved, felt like the entire second half of the game took place there.
It looks quite pretty but plays worse than the original. Especially the HECU firefights feel clunkier and less dynamic. If I'm just being nostalgic then may the gods of the Internet smite me and my Steam account, and turn this into a positive recommendation.
Great remake of the original Half Life. Bringing the game's visual aspect up to modern day equivalent while keep almost everything the same as the original.
Absolutely stunning. My dad who passed away a few months ago bought this for me since he was a massive half life fan and oh boy, I was in for more than I thought. The fights are fun and keep me on my toes constantly, and the ost is beautiful alongside the scenery.
10/10 game, play it (forget about freeman)
What a beautiful remake. Made with love letter to Valve and incredibly designed Xen, better than original. 10/10
Is this game the best way to experience half-life? No. it it the best way to experience the horrors of the Black Mesa incident? How you get to watch as your colleagues are taken over by parasitic alien creatures and forced into an eternity of pain along with being murdered by both alien creatures and your own military? How you get to feel the hope build up over the course of the game only for it to be shot down and then realize that no matter how hard you fight humanity will lose with the only thing you can do is lessen the blow? How that at the end of it all, the person who started this mess was you, now its your mess to clean up? Yes
Also the mods are cool I guess
Price: fair
Story: 10/10
Graphics: 10/10
Physics: realistic
Gameplay: 10/10
Achievements: easy to hard
To summarize briefly, it is a modern version of Half-Life that stays true to the original. I absolutely recommend everyone to try this game, especially those who have played the original. (Trust me! It'll be great!) Every elements of the game from atmosphere, sounds, and the visuals are wonderful.
There are not much to complain, except the repetitiveness of some level. Additionally, I find it tedious and not really fun to complete certain achievements. Some of them are either too long, or simply a harder version of another achievement.
Love the new Xen, they really made it interesting with a great atmosphere compared to the original Xen.
This is such a beautiful remaster. It really is incredible. Starting my second play through on this pc, and it's noticeably better than when i first played it as a mod - such a great game
I needed to play this game after playing half-life 2. Pretty good. I still have some opinions about the bosses, but in the end its an amazing game I recommend.
THE greatest game of all time.Being a fan since i first played HL 1 back in 2010 and till now im still in deep love with the game.I hope i get to live long enough just for one just ONE teaser for HL 3.(like frr)
This is a fantastic re-imagining of the original. By all means, play the original but come back and play this. Some of the game play and visual elements of Black Mesa really show what is possible with the engine. At some points, I felt like the BM team surpassed what Valve was able to do.
Great remake of Half-Life. Only minor gripe I have is that there are sometimes minor visual glitches with textures like floating parts. But overall an amazing game.
This is an excellent fan-made remake of the original Half-Life game. I thoroughly enjoyed the first part where Freeman has to escape the facility; It kept true to the original story and maps while also adding some additional rooms and spaces to explore. The introduction, just after the Resonance Cascade event, is even more atmospheric and spookier than the original - adding in the half-zombies was a great touch. The soundtrack is also marvellous; Internal Conflict by Joel Nielsen goes too hard.
However, this game is not without its flaws. It did crash on me a couple of times, but most often during the Nihilinth boss fight. Unfortunately, I did spend a good chunk of time relaunching my game and reloading uncorrupted saves before the crash trying to figure out how to defeat the boss. It took me far too long to realise that the rocket launcher was doing negative damage to its brain (makes sense) so once I swapped to the tau cannon I easily overcome it and was able to finish the game. Getting thrown out of bounds may have also added salt to the wound...
The Xen level is absolutely gorgeous (so beautiful in fact there are entire guides on how to farm it for screenshots). Visually extremely stunning and rich in fauna and flora I actually preferred this over the original. The alien levels do drop off a bit in quality as they go on. The Interloper chapter was particularly tedious and repetitive, some parts poorly construed and thrown together. Perhaps the developers were also running out of steam towards the end.
This game is well-worth a play-through but is by no means a replacement to the original which I believe remains the GOAT.
The remake is amazing, although it is not from valve, it certainly captured all the amazing game play and graphics are amazing! Sure bring back the feelings i had as a child playing the original Half-Life!
Half life is good, Black mesa is a remake of half life. Therefore black mesa is good
Good first person shooter plenty of things to use guns RPGs and explosives.
Incredible game that revolutionized first person shooters. A must buy to see how it all began. Xen is a bit rough at times with the platforming but it was cool to see it remade. If you like shooters this should be a top 10 need to play
Half-life is one of if not the greatest game of all time and this remaster/remake helps a new generation see Half-life as it was for the generation that experienced it the first time. As for fans of the series this is the definitive way to experience the first game it trims all the fats and what you're left with is an astounding achievement of gaming history 10/10 cannot recommend it more.
Are you a Half-Life fan, or someone who has never played Half-Life before? Do you want to experience Half-Life in a more innovative form? Yes, you’re looking at the right game!
Amazing remake of an already amazing game, making the game feel more immersive and alive.
The reimaging is insane, the start of the game is truly amazing.
I came into it expecting it to not hold up to the original HL1.
To say I was wrong was an understatement.
While for me it does not replace the original, for every average player, I have and will continue to recommend this over the original. It is nothing short of a stellar remaster and all remasters should strive to be this good.
W game, The Community is great, the workshop is awesome, I dont have to pay for DLC's for things like Black Mesa:Military, a mod where you play as an HECU operative. or Black mesa Blueshift. totally would Recommend the game to anyone interested in Half life.
As a girl who doesn't often explore the gaming horizons, I can't remember a game I played that was perfect in every way from game mechanics, graphics, story, difficulty, music, even memes until I played Black Mesa. It is THE game to start out with when trying to get into the more "classic" games. The balance between action and exploration keeps you hooked, it's a masterpiece. Btdubs the first half life is a snore (40yo fanboys don't come for me) I recommend this version for a better, reimagined experience.
It's a great remake!
The graphic are great, gameplay even improved very much
Black Mesa keeps the great balance of re-creating Half-Life, improving it, making it a better experience, while not turning it into a totally different game.
I appreciate the work of Crowbar Collective to not rush the release of the game and make it right. In Black Mesa, I don't repulsively shoot, the environment of the game and story telling just makes me to stop and think for a moment. This was an amazing experience to go through the events of Half-Life 1 universe.
There's a reason this took so long in development. I wasn't expecting much from fan developers, but this game is actually a ton of fun, and I enjoyed it thoroughly all the way through. I cannot recommend this enough to anyone who's a Half-Life fan.
Soundtrack, voice acting, visuals, level design, pacing, all amazing. The only thing that was off-putting to me was some of the enemy animations. Houndeyes, Bullsquids, Alien Grunts, and other enemies move jaggedly like they did in 1998. Headcrabs and Vortigaunts move fine, which tells me they probably re-used what was available from HL2, but I don't know that for certain.
Anyway, that's just a small nuance I had from what I consider to be otherwise a very fun game.
Black mesa is a good game but I would recommend playing the original half life if your coming form half life 2 just because it feels really slow compared to the official half life games
Black Mesa is an extremely good love-letter to the original game. I think any Half-Life fan should give it a play through.
A worthy remake of one of the best games ever made. Loved Every second of this game, grab your crowbar and play this game already. 10/10
I never played Half-Life 1 all the way through as one continuous playthrough - something always got in the way, or I got stuck, or I got bored. But that was not so with Black Mesa. The team behind this game did an admirable job augmenting the source material to be more intuitive, inviting, and inventive. For anyone who has never played the original HL, THIS is the definitive edition. THIS is a better remake than the one Valve could have given us. It's a labor of love through and through, and it's well-worth 20 dollars.
Undoubtedly a majestic recreation of the original Half-Life game. It puts great emphasis on map details, as there are a lot of things that you can see as you explore through Black Mesa. The soundtrack is what it got me pretty hard, especially the Xen soundtrack.
Speaking of Xen, the recreation of it in Source engine is such a masterpiece I literally have no words how to explain.... The guys at Crowbar Collective are gods. I would definitely play it again!
Black mesa is a remaster/recreation of Half Life. it has the same story, the graphics are phenomenal as I recently got an RTX computer, it makes me more immersed in the story, not to discredit the real Half Life as it started it all! if you haven't played Half life, i recommend you check it out. but i honestly think of Half Life and Black Mesa as the same thing. just Black Mesa being the 1080p version, and half life being the 144p version. PLAY ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! now...
