The Citizen is set parallel to the events of the original Half-Life 2. The player takes the role of an ordinary man, pushed over the edge by the oppressive regime controlling his life. His home trashed, his family dead, The Citizen leaves his apartment for the last time. He seeks new friends, and a way to help the human resistance to smash the iron grip of the Combine. What follows is a winding tale of betrayal, determination and grief. Many obstacles lie in his path which require a sleek combination of agility, stealth, intelligence, and sheer violence to overcome
Narrative/Plot: Pretty good. Honestly, somewhat dry
Level Design/Quality: Top notch. For the most part, well thought out maps that definitely capture the feeling of the mod.
Gameplay: For the most part, a Half Life 2 mod with Half Life 2 gameplay. Nothing to complain about.
However, this, IMO succedes hl2 due to just a few parts: the stealth parts were great, and my only wish for the disguise parts is that they actually lasted. Also, journeying with the squad was pretty fun, I just wish it lasted longer.
Voice acting: Very solid. It was more than good enough.
