HALF-LIFE: Brave Brain

Mod review may contain spoilers

Now this mod isn't that bad. It's a mod that is quite unique if you ask me. First of all, 30% of the map is maps from Half-Life, which is cool to explore parts you never got to explore. It's basically Half-Life as another scientist perspective. Most of it is Black Mesa maps but its good. I like the amount of weapons you spoiled my choices with, but I don't like neglecting my weapons and losing them at the end. Another thing that actually means a tell-tale sign its a good mod is a tram ride. Some mods like Infected use it along with other unknowns I haven't discovered. The puzzle solving you added and scenes where elevator breaks, A MACHINE GUN VEHICLE is awesome. I thought from the looks of this tram ride, i woudlnt expect this mod to have those but i was wrong
Not so good side:
Revolver and shotgun is given too early especially for a easy-fight mod like this. Gluon or gauss, either one should be here. The pistol if i am not wrong, Is a bit too op. Xen could have been bigger, at the starting point. Even tho you tried to add a cluster of enemies like vorts and marines when you return to a section, to drain my ammo/health, its placed as if a arena was mixed a bit here.

Summary: A mod that stands out unlike mods that are just black mesa only maps. Level Design is amazing. Puzzles are intricate. Unique. After all, this is a mod worth making a on-going series. Reminds me of how old-school mods were made back in the day, with most black mesa. I liked it!
