This mod will allow you to begin in the Lambda Complex portal and work your way backwards to the start of the game. Some areas require a bit of out-of-the-box thinking in order to precede without using cheats.

Great way to play half life again in a new way.

Great idea, executed somewhat poorly. It's good to see for the most part that the modder simply reversed most triggers (for example, opened doors that were initially closed, and elevators that operate from the exit) but it isn't very aesthetically pleasing to see random tables and conveyor belts placed around the maps, nor to have to use tripmines/satchels to proceed. I thought having to use barncales to get up to high places was clever though. I understand this isn't a serious mod, but perhaps if anyone were willing to make this into a serious mod, I would definitely suggest reversing the actual puzzles so the game is actually completable in reverse without having to rely on tricks or randomly placed objects. Being able to control the tram at the 'end' was a fun touch, though.

I found it to be a unique and interesting experience. The levels are cleverly designed to accommodate the reverse gameplay, and it was fun to see familiar areas from a new perspective. However, playing the game backwards can be disorienting at times, and there were a few moments where I felt lost or frustrated. Additionally, some of the puzzles and obstacles can be quite challenging, so be prepared for a bit of a learning curve. Overall, I would recommend Back-Life to fans of Half-Life who are looking for a fresh take on the game.

I enjoyed it. Very well made!

A lot of fun and better than the previous Gamebanana version, the only bug I had was the button in the Sector C airlock. It played a sound when shot but didn't open the door
Also Hazard Course is missing a changelevel in the firing range

Nice

The idea is crazy interesting, and it's fun experience. But some moments are bugged or not properly "reversed". So sometimes using cheats is inevitable. Last edited map is "before" Blast Pit, so the reversed storyline ends there. Also I'd like to see a more polished gameplay with a reason do not skip some areas (normally they are obligatory to visit, but playing in reverse they become unnecessary). And why the hell there is no crowbar at all, using guns to break crates all the way requires a lot of ammo...
