Half-Life 3 Citadel Unleashed

Mod review

Sadly an over-ambitious mod, reminds me of my first ever mod I made years ago, and everywhere is just so dark and hard to see.

It suffers from a lot of issues, such as over use of too many visual effects, such as vignette and color correction.

The same battery puzzle is re-used across the whole mod, multiple times, its not a fun mechanic and doesnt add any value to gameplay.

Level transitions are abrupt, and themes all over the place, going from combine walls to wooden buildings.

The mod features a lot of extra visual enhancements such as updated shadows outdoors, but sadly falls flat due to a lot of the environments lacking detail.

Also very weird use of ai/text to speech voice acting for alyx and Eli, its just overall very strange choices, and I dont know what its trying to convey.

I appreciate the enthusiasm though, dont give up on making stuff, just keep in mind to have some quality control for future mods, instead of "Features 6 hours of content" maybe try to aim for "1 hour of compact high quality maps."

Good luck on your future mods.

Map Labs

Mod review

There isn't really many half-life 2 modding communities left, especially after RTSL competitions ended.

Map Labs continues the legacy, having mappers make new maps together, for a specific theme each challenge.

Put neatly into a pack for you to play, it's a great way to discover new innovative, funny, scary or completely mind blowing new maps, just for you!

So yes, give it a try if you can never get enough half-life content.

Amnesia: Memories From The Past

Mod review

A fine mod for Amnesia, if you want expand on the chilling experiences of Amnesia, I highly suggest playing this!

It has many nice puzzles, tense moments and interesting areas to explore, along with a story that has been intertwined into the original story of amnesia (Like a prequel)

Transmissions - Element 120

Mod review

Quite amazing, it was original, fresh and something new! I loved the new gravity gun, even though the swirly effect made me dizzy.

Overall it was great, a bit short and if possible needs some optimization, as it had some fps issues here and there. Otherwise, I was quite amazed.
