Playing Signal Lost was like Playing Half-Life for the first time all over again. The mod is dripping with tense atmosphere and not knowing what was around the next corner filled me with a dread I haven't had playing Half-Life or any mod for it since I was 13. A must-play.

Quite a good mod - the atmosphere is spot on, the story is just as thick as the original Half-Life's, and there are plenty of puzzles.
While some of those puzzles were a bit obtuse (lighting the engine for the sump pump required a very specific angle and position for me, and I was stuck for quite a while at the powerhouse section trying to get inside) they were all solvable, and the combat was just hard enough to require multiple tries without being frustrating.
Well, except for the final boss. I'll admit I had to turn on god mode for that, since there simply wasn't enough room for me to dodge, and the boss fired too frequently for me to get sustained fire on it.

All in all, it's not without it's quirks and bugs, but it makes for a good play around Halloween, and it's the perfect length for a bite-sized mod - not so short that you can't get into it, but not so long that it drags on forever or takes multiple play sessions.
