I cannot deny the amount of work that went into this mod, and I understand the intentions behind it, but the main glaring issue with the project is that it's just way, WAY too much. The mod lacks consistency in its direction and feels like a 14 year old puking every idea he thinks of onto the mod without any thought into how it plays a role in the overall project.

low effort shitpost that takes up too much hard drive space

Atmosphere was extremely tense. You felt vulnerable the entire time. The moments where you did get trapped in rooms with the smoke outside were in my opinion the scariest because you had to wait for the light to go back, but the smoke continued to try to get inside, but couldn't. The gameplay was spectacular, the level design was superb, and the fact that it was entirely done WITHOUT any sort of coding is incredible. Especially the custom inventory and objectives. The only complaint I have is the ending, which was ****, I'm sorry to say. I mean, come on. Really? You couldn't have at least tried to make it longer? Like, I don't know, actually finishing the vehicle? Maybe attempting to find another outpost, but getting stuck because of the black snow? Pleh.

TL;DR, the mod is excellent, worthy of a 9/10 for it's intense and helpless atmosphere, fantastic level design, and superb mod mechanics, just the ending leaves something to be desired for sure.

Alright here I go.

Graphics- 9/10
The level design is simply BEAUTIFUL!!!!! And the screenshots from the next version are absolutely AMAZING!!!! Seriously, you are a true artist. The reason I gave it a 9/10 is because there's a few moments that just kinda were meh for me like when you first enter the tunnels on map 2 and the doors just kinda teleports shut, or when you blow up the gas station and theres no motion, the roof is just teleported down.

Sound- 8/10. Soundscapes are perfect, voice acting was magnificent, but the issue I have is the default soundtrack. It just kinda throws it for me.

Story- 9/10 Great interesting story. I really liked those extra things you threw in there for the lulz, like the fake zombie bouncing from a washing machine, or the rebel welding giant tires and a turret to a bike.

Nothing special, just another hl2 map pack with nothing new, but voice acting, which was awful. Seriously. Some was alright, but for the most part, it was vomit enducing. But if you want simple hl2 action, nothing new, then this mod is good for you.

I shat bricks so many times playing this. Well worth the download. I actually found it as scary if not more than the actual game.

A fresh title in the sea of modern video games. Amazing voice overs, awesome story, perfect story telling.
