I rarely play computer games and don't keep track of modern releases. Вut liking Half-Life setting in general and Half-Life 1 in particular I was looking forward to this Half-Life re-make. I've tried out Black Mesa these days off and got to the Silo D so far. Keeping in mind that the whole thing was done by a team of enthusiasts, Black Mesa looks impressing. I really like how they've done the architecture: on the one hand it instantly reminds of Half-Life, on the other it's quite thought-through and almost nothing looks out of place; this goes both for office, laboratory and industrial parts. The gameplay is alright too, though there's one thing I don't like - the MP-5 is next to useless with its fire spread and low damage. There are also some geometry and animation glitches but they're neglectable.
