4/5 Half-life is a great, classic game that hasn’t really aged well. Playing through it for the first time since 1999, I was surprised by how much of the game I remembered and was disappointed by the parts that I’d forgotten. The best moments of this game were truly amazing for the time and are still pretty neat today. However, this game is mostly a puzzle platformer that is very unclear about where to go and what to do. I was able to get through it without using a guide, but there were some very frustrating rooms and levels that I never want to play again. As far as the updates go, I didn’t notice any bad changes and the upgraded graphics were nice. Worth a play especially if you played the original back in the day.

4/5 Good Lego game. Not the best; not the worst.
Is Black Mesa complete now? Last time I checked they were missing a chapter or something. Also, how close is it to the original?
I think it’s still missing the chapter, but I’d say a very faithful rendition of the original. I had to look up what the changes were to even notice them (like negative changes or those that stray from what Valve intended).
Have you played other LEGO Star Wars games? How would you compare TFA to those?
TFA is way better than the other two. I beat the other two and they are terrible in comparison.
Really? That’s promising then. Is the season pass worth it?
