Black Mesa, a remake of the iconic 1998 game Half-Life, is now 90% off on Steam, priced at just $1.20. Developed by Crowbar Collective, this reimagined version brings the classic game to life with updated graphics and refined gameplay, making it a must-play for both old fans and newcomers.
The game follows Gordon Freeman, a theoretical physicist, as he navigates an alien invasion at the Black Mesa Research Facility after a catastrophic experiment.
What Makes Black Mesa Stand Out
It all started as a fan project using Valve’s Source engine. Now, it boasts improved AI, detailed environments, and updated character models. The final chapter, Xen, has been completely revamped to offer a more immersive experience.
Some of the key features include:
- Enhanced graphics with advanced lighting effects
- More challenging and engaging gameplay, especially in the reworked Xen chapter
- Improved AI for enemies, making them more responsive and realistic
