Not recommended Sep 23, 2026

I could see the potential and there are some real nice ideas. But it was overly dark in places, the puzzles didn't inspire me to continue through to the end. It didn't feel like HL2... There are better.

Recommended Sep 21, 2026

Yes, yes, and yes. This is a free mod for Half Life 2 and it is a standalone game. Pick it up if you love Half Life. Pick it up if you love shooters. It's short, pretty easy, but one of the achievements is pretty tough. For a free game, it was surprisingly well done. It's a 4/5 for me.

Recommended Sep 20, 2026

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
