Nicely done, actually it's not worth 10/10, but I'm giving this for entusiasm making this mod. Thanks for it.

Awesome for a remake of a demo.

As I'm not good for reviewing games, I'll just write down what I think is worth pointing out.

It's an overall amazing piece of work.
The soudscape is fantastic, although more background explosions in outdoor areas could have done it way better.
It stays really true to the original game from 1999
Although some things have been changed, they actually changed for a good reason and for a higher level of realism.
Playing with commentary nodes is interesting and worth a second playthrough.

Some lights are way overbrighted, giving a somehow unrealistic feel.
There are some other lightning artifacts here and there. One good example is the strong white light going straight through the vent ducts near the end.
Some areas could have used more detail and revision.

All in all, a short, yet totally fun experience worth the download and playthrough.

While the level design is not as gorgeous as the original Black Mesa Source, the scripted sequences are very well done, especially in the end. Very impressed.

It's very good and the atmosphere makes it special!

Nice mapping, but some disbalanced battles.

This was a very high-quality mod for.. a mod.
It is a lot like the original HL: Uplink, but better.
It was worth the 3+ month wait!

There was a bug where some of the soldiers got stuck in the wall as they came down from the roof.

Very good but very similar to the original. Maybe a little more surprises would have been better. Anyway, still a good job!
