Один из лучших классических модов для 1й части Half-Life.
Он достаточно легкий, и при этом интересный, забавный и захватывающий. Много уникальных уровней и интересных сценок. Сюжет тоже очень интересный, а события происходят во вселенной оригинального Half-Life.
Озвучка, саундтрек, модели, текстуры – все на высшем уровне, и, главное, все это подходит под атмосферу мода. Ощущается не как мод, а как совершенно новая игра на старом-добром голдсурсе.
Радует, что у серии Half-Life очень много русскоязычных фанатов, многие из которых создают такие шедевры моддинга, как Испытатель 4.

One of the best oldschool mods for HL1.
It is easy, but very entertaining, thrilling and funny. There are many unique levels and interesting scripted sequences. The story in also very interesting. The events are taking place within the Half-life universe.
Voice acting, music, models, textures, all of that is top notch in this mod, and all of it fits the game very well. This mod is really feels like just a completely new goldsrc game rather than a hl1 mod.
I am really happy that half-life series has a lot of Russian fans, many of which are creating such great mods, as Ispitatel 4.
10/10
I am sad to say that I hated this mod. While the first two Ispitatels were pretty good, this one was just a big fever dream. I know it is intentionally absurd but the whole experience is nothing but running around, witnessing weird stuff and very rarely shooting or solving puzzles. I don't know what happened that made the developers create it that way but it is not for me, sad too, it has some great ideas and maps. Discovering secret places or doing weird actions (such as eating all of the cabbage in one section, the mod never tells you this) increases your max health. There is a very rarely used camera system, where you can cycle through cams etc. The ideas are very nice but they are kind of wasted when the mod is this strange and has weak gameplay.
This mod instantly made it into my favourite mods I've ever played for gold source games, the fact that it's got a proper translation, the wacky and interesting world that's set up and the fact that your viewmodel changes depending on what clothing you're wearing.
There's so much detail and polish in this that makes it an instant recommend to anyone who plays gold source mods.
This is quite an unusual mod. It is essentially split into two parts: battles and following the plot.
Following the plot involves you being unarmed and doing what the game asks of you, while the characters talk and share exposition. Sometimes the player is alone and will perform certain tasks to move forward or make something happen. The players ordinarily fast running speed means that you’ll bump from cutscene into the other like a victim of pinball – and I say cutscenes, because many times the camera becomes static, and you get to see a scene unfold while remaining immobile. This occurs whenever you’re not following a different NPC who of course walks slower than the player per usual.
The battles sequences are almost literally shooting galleries, in which you aim at small living targets and fire away. The enemies do relatively little damage to the player and explode in precious gibs upon death, which satisfactorily happens every time. The weapons that you need are conveniently found for the occasions right before these instances of kerfuffle and are immediately removed from your inventory afterwards. So, while you get to use 7 new weapons in total throughout the mod you do never have all of them on your person at the same time. I didn’t turn off the Auto Aim, so all my adversaries popped like balloons that covered the screen in unholy hell of alien blood and gibs. It all feels like a parody of videogames.
I was a bit upset with the texture work. I realised that many buildings are broken down and carry cracks in their walls, not because of realism but because of Russialism – that’s how people lived back then in Soviet.
I liked the music present in the mod. There is quite a lot of it, and it has that wonderfully funky compression to it that lowers the sound quality. The music is easily comparable to long mods like Riot in Progress.
I recommend playing this if you have a sixpack of strong beer or some hard liquor to drink. It is short and sweet.
Эй,Давакин с кофе xD ты где?
13 лет прошло...
Мы выросли...
Сейчас я осознаю что это самое лучшие во что я играл по хл огромное уважение команде что сделала эту игру
very horosho, very zamechatelno
Can one of you russians explain to me what I just played
A rare situation when the last part of series is the best...
There's an 'old adage' that "Ruskys" make some of the best and most 'original' Half-life mods...
Maybe that's actually a "new adage."
Ispitatel is an extremely hilarious, creative, and original "Rusky" Half-life mod. The music is great, the story is and plot is very, very weird......the textures and setting are original.
Great mod. I rate Ispitatel a 9/10.
