After arguably an excruciatingly long time in development, the Half-Life remake Black Mesa is at long last ready to launch in its final version out of Early Access early next month. Interested gamers should consider purchasing the game before that though since once it leaves Early Access, the base price gets increased.
The studio responsible for refining Half-Life with an unofficial, Valve-approved reimagining has teased an upcoming project that needs beta testers.
JASON WRITES: When Half-Life 1 first released, it was revolutionary. Its approach to video game design and storytelling sent ripples through the gaming industry and its influence can be seen in just about every AAA game that has been released since, at least on some level.
If you are after a more modern iteration of this fantasic game, I highly suggest that you play Black Mesa (third-party remake of Half-Life made in the Source game engine).
The graphics are not top notch but they greatly enhance the experience (especially in the alien world) and the effects added are very nice.
I had a blast playing this on Steam Deck and it was a much better experience than playing vanilla Half Life 1
It's been a while since last article! See what's new on our Captive Freight chapter progress!
Been patiently waiting for the full release on this one. Definite purchase for me.
Finally indeed. I remember when this was first announced over 15 years ago. I'm excited to see the final version.
Dear god it took this long to complete the Xen levels?
Played it through and it was awesome!
So, does anyone know how this is possible? Considering it isn't made by Valve, yet the devs are charging for it and its not a property they own. Its confusing me, unless valve gave them their blessing.
