A fan remake of Half-Life 1 that Valve eventually blessed, rebuilding every level in the Source engine and rewriting Xen entirely into something far better than the original. Combat feels modern. It is much longer than Half-Life was, and the expanded Xen chapters — the most praised part — also stretch the pacing well past the original's tight run.

A Quake III-engine shooter split between grounded WWII combat and occult nonsense, and it commits fully to both. The stealth missions and the weapon feel still hold up. Enemy variety thins out badly in the second half, the supernatural turn loses some players entirely, and the level design assumes patience for hunting hidden switches.
