It’s better than Half-Life because it doesn’t lock you out of unexplored zones, it lets you restore health at stations unlimited times, it doesn’t have any RNG death sections, and it doesn’t have horribly janky platforming.
It’s free on Steam, so I recommend it. Change the HUD to the newer version in settings so the game takes up the whole screen. Idk why that isn’t default.
I’ll add it to my Steam Free Games overview list
