Half-life: Source is a reissue of the 1998 Half-Life game based on a more modern "Source" game engine with many innovations in graphics performance and gameplay. The game's plot is entirely consistent with the plot of the original Half-Life and tells us the story of the research centre "Black Mesa", which is located in the USA, New Mexico.

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.

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.
