![]() ![]() The Half-Life remake, Black Mesa, opts for a similar approach, on steroids. Hilarious in Hindsight: The Xen level, "Focal Point", is considered one rare example of Xen being done right, with diverse environments, logical labyrinths, and more tame platforming, compared to the original game's Disappointing Last Level syndrome and Opposing Force's minute-long visits, of them only one being mandatory.For a final escape sequence, it's rather underwhelming. During the teleportation escape, you hold off a couple Houndeyes when the coolant line ruptures, and the HECU soldiers arrive so late that it's possible to just beeline for the teleport to the end. Disappointing Last Level: "A Leap of Faith" isn't much of a Final Battle.However, Blue Shift has more scripted sequences and set pieces, as well as far more improved models (see: Rosenberg.) It's to the point that this review recommends playing Blue Shift first, if only so Opposing Force doesn't become a Tough Act to Follow. You don't even unlock all the weapons the original game had to offer.
