Game Description:
Black Mesa - this Half-Life in a modern shell, complemented by a number of innovations. Yes, this is a remake of the cult game of 1998. The work on Black Mesa was carried out for 8 years, she was engaged in the association Crowbar Collective, consisting of 40 volunteers. The team approached the matter in great detail, so Valve Corporation drew attention to the project, it became a publisher. On May 5, 2015, the Black Mesa version marked “Early Access” hit Steam.
You may recall that in 2004 Valve released Half-Life: Source - a version of the original Half-Life, built, as the name implies, on the Source engine. However, this project did not realize all the capabilities of such a powerful graphics program. Black Mesa fills this gap - gamers are waiting for completely redesigned textures and models.
At the same time, the Crowbar Collective volunteers very carefully approached the interpretation of the legendary shooter and did not change the plot, the gameplay. However, it is worth noting that several features characteristic of Half-Life 2 have been added - the ability to use binoculars and quickly run. In addition, Black Mesa has achievements.
