Valve’s game is in there somewhere, but it’s buried deep beneath modern interpretation – all those conveyor belts and power cables for you to plug in. It’s like watching Blade Runner 2049 or the latest bi-weekly Spider-Man reboot. But it doesn’t do those things so well that you’re not wondering when Forget About Freeman’s going to arrive.Īs you beam yourself from the Lambda lab out to Xen, all bets are off. If you try and take Surface Tension on its own terms, you might be impressed: it gives you variety and a sense of unraveling military control, the chaos of government troops trying to fight a war against an unknowable and frighteningly powerful enemy. Black Mesa certainly suffers by inviting comparison to the best shooter ever made. So many teams of modders and professional studios had given it a go already and failed to hit the markĪnd they can’t meet Valve’s bar. Take that away, and the content lives and dies purely on its pacing, design, and the intrinsic enjoyment of combat encounters. Surely nostalgia is a huge part of any player’s motivation here. But as you play it, you wonder who it’s really serving. That’s by design – Crowbar Collective always intended to expand on the original creative vision and deliver in ways that weren’t possible with the tech of the time. By the time you hit Surface Tension, now a two-plus hour saga in the New Mexico desert, you’re not playing Half-Life anymore.
