BacklogCritic: "With all the quality free mods available for Half-Life 2, you would be borderline insane to waste a penny on such a broken attempt at a game. Don’t buy it, don’t even steal it – it’s not worth your time."
Wiehahn Diederichs, Gearburn writes: "Over the last few days, indie developers Royal Rudius Entertainment have received constant waves of harsh criticism following the release of their controversial title, Hunt Down the Freeman (HDTF), a first person shooter that heavily draws inspiration (and apparently a lot else) from Valve’s Half Life Universe. From claims of stolen assets to inexperienced leadership, this has to be one of the most bizarre stories I’ve researched in my career as a video game journalist."
Valve must not really care about the Half-Life brand. They’re allowing a poorly made game with stolen assets to use the Half-Life IP.
