Half-Life: Decay

Mod review may contain spoilers

Pretty decent port from PS2 to PC, at least for what I played. I enjoyed the first few chapters, but I gave up during chapter 4. The effort placed into this port does show potential, but there are some glaring issues that made playing slightly less enjoyable.

There really should be a save feature for Decay. It's painful to stop playing just because you don't feel like it anymore or you have to go take care of something, only to come back later and start back at the beginning again. Not only that, but you always start back at the beginning of a chapter when you die due to the game's bizarre mission structure. I realize that this is a port and not a mod, but implementing a save feature would massively improve the experience of the game for me.

Other issues I take with this port of Decay include the lack of a difficulty setting and no bot AI for singleplayer. One small nitpick I have is that when you interact with Dr. Rosenberg after he interrupts Dr. Keller in chapter 1, his voice lines are mysteriously replaced with Dr. Kleiner's.
