- Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties? + Science, b*tch!

Even though I've just played about 2 hours, there are major problems with this mod.

There are too long conversations, and I have to say that Eric is a true teenager. I wish we were able to skip the conversations. It is so overwhelming at times. Also, non-stop mortar shots, never ending spawned enemies in the early stage of game was non-sense.

On 2nd chapter, after the long conversation, you have to swim up through the surface of the water, but there is no water. I cannot swim up. After 10 minutes I found a ghost ladder, and thanks to it I was able to go up and got on the boat somehow.

The rifles I have are reassigned when there is a new mission. I mean it does not have to be a complete different one (this one I can understand), even when you're playing the same main mission, when a sub mission changes, your weapons are reassigned! This is unacceptable.

The level design looks pretty amateur work all over the mod. I die without no reason because I'm trying to use another possible way to flank enemies...

I have to admit you guys gave lots of effort to make this mod, and I appreciate it. However, this mod definitely needs a big update.

TL;DR: I could not continue after a point because of the bad design, unnecessary and unskippable too long conversations, bugs, glitches, and a mediocre story with a very bad storytelling style.

Abeyance

Mod review

I finally got around to playing Abeyance. A couple of fellow modders told me about it as I didn't even know it existed. Not sure how it managed to slip under my radar for so long.

Having now played it however, I must admit that unfortunately this is a significantly low point in the series.

The maps are stunning to look at in places and the attention to detail is fantastic, but the gameplay really isn't enjoyable. Platforming sections in the dark with infinitely spawning enemies? Right at the very end, I very nearly ragequit and had considered using noclip. In the end, I loaded an autosave and stayed off the platforms, shooting at the crystals from a distance.

I hope to see more in this series from Forsete, but I hope the gameplay is given significantly more attention.

One of the greatest mods of all time in HL universe. A must play.

Half-Life : Echoes

Mod review may contain spoilers

I am speechless.

What a greatly designed mod we don't see often here.

With its excellent storytelling, balanced combat, smart puzzles and rewarding moments for explorers, all I can say that is this mod could easily become another extension of the vanilla Half-Life game.

To me, the only problem was optimization issues at certain points and sometimes unnecessary amount of aliens in vent ducts (especially placing them all around you).

I hope you make a sequel to this.

This mod does not deserve a regular review because it is a unique one in terms of many things!

Get ready to have fun, absurd and whoaa moments and much more. Enjoy the LorDz's universe!

Just don't forget to grab your beer, or you'll regret it!

Mod review

A true classic game finally gets what it deserves. As the game is back on Steam after 5 years of absence, this mod is just another excuse to revisit the Mafia universe!

It is pretty obvious that the team is a great fan of the game and they literally knew what to improve.

The only bad thing is that the additional lights of the shops/hotels/bars to the game is a little bit too much I think. It kind of spoils the atmosphere. I'd recommend you to reduce the amount of it.

Thanks for the mod!

Mod review

It was a pretty bad mod overall. I could not get used to the mechanics of the mod even after 1 hour. As a super fan of HL games/mods, this situation made me only get frustrated. I played until I realized it is not my cup of tea.

It DOES NOT fit the HL universe at all. It is definitely something else.

There are way better total conversion HL2 mods than this one (like Underhell and Nightmare House 2).

Gut Reaction

Mod review

What a classic mod it is!

Puzzles, combat and enemy placement in the mod was pretty good.

Everything was just awesome. Remember, this mod was out in 1999 and it is definitely way better than many HL mods that were released after 2000.
