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.
