Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“this game is just kinda bland and a spit in the face to other half life mods and the series as a whole. especially the fact you can get the original half life with both expansion packs for the same price.”
“If you only had 4 hours to live, you could spend them playing this game so as to artificially live another 1000 years. Then, when your weary mind and body catches up and you realize how short it actually has been, you will have PERMISSION…”
