Half-Life: Zombie Edition

Mod review

Garbage, the install tutorial comes up with an error so I had to figure it out myself. The first part of the game is very unclear. If you detach you're ****** (no, this is not a good thing, as said in the answer of the "I'm stuck" question), nothing is explained, you dont even get a slight hint it's just "figure it out".

In the first part I had to use a playthrough every time because I could not figure out what to do, this isn't sign of a hard game it's a sign of bad design. You apparently have to eat a lad, which is never explained and I had to look up on the mod page how to eat someone (wasnt even mentioned in the control list, nice), then continue and hide behind something while some security guards come at you then kill them. This is, of course, never explained nor demonstrated it any way. Even then, the playthrough had the guards coming up 1 by 1. In my playthrough they came in all at once and I couldnt progress in any way.

Furthermore, ze_galluc 0 doesn't even work for turning it off and it often bugged.

This means your only way is constantly dying and figuring it out, which is maybe good for a multiplayer game, but not for a singleplayer campaign.

Maybe if the devs gave some kind of tutorial or visual of how to do stuff I would understand it. Before you start, no, a tutorial that they list in the Q&A is NOT a valid tutorial. You should be able to get one in-game and not have to rely on outside sources. But as of right now, just watch a playthrough and enjoy that.
