The remastered Xen is an intriguing idea. I've heard many different opinions on the possible flaws of that part, with the most prominent saying that Xen felt a bit rushed and not as chiselled as the previous bits.
When I first saw Xen, it was very disorientating, with the different geometry and lack of symmetry that ruled in Black Mesa, the changed gravity and the constant need of using long jumps to get around. But after getting past the inital shock, it was alright - after all, it was a different dimension, it was supposed to feel like that.
I hope they keep Nihilant though. That part I enjoyed a lot.
