My god what a masterpiece!

I haven´t played such a good mod in years.
Gameplay: Perfect! Challanging fights and difficult puzzles to solve. But they are allways fair. Play it on easy mode though. Thats difficult enough.

Graphics: Wonderful! The first black-mesa part may not be so great looking but once you go to xen it becomes better and better. I think I like this Xen even more then the original in HL. Those are some of the best graphics I have ever seen in a HL-mod.

Story: Im not sure if there is any and if so then it is in russion...

Most of all I like the creativity in this mod. So many new ideas. So many gameplay changes. So many nice special effects.

Clearly 10/10

Holy crap, was this a cluster-cuss O_O

The name is a bit misleading, as the prison levels end rather abruptly, leading to very well detailed Xen levels from there on-out.

But these levels immediately turn to frustration, as many of the fights range from incredibly difficult to unfair.

There are, however, new NPC's to fight, such as mini-gargantua's, plus those looking for good Xen level design will be pleased, but be warned, this mod will kick your ***.

This mod was great, Some parts is hard, but finally, I finished it without god mode

However there also some bugs on some levels

BUT, still this mod is kickass!

I love this mod. It has interesting ideas and very good atmosphere. Good enemies, design and gameplay 10/10 !

Great mod.
Although it was difficult sometimes (I had to use godmode now and then) I thouroghly enjoyed the mod, with all the different settings and high-creativity surroundings.

Awesome ! It has been a long time since I have ever played to a mod so close to the original HL adventure. Very good ! I give it a 9/10 !

Outstanding! One of the best puzzle mods for Half-Life, but it looks like many people didn't even know about it. If you still haven't played it, give yourself a try. But be prepeared for really hardcore battles sometimes.

Great.

just wanna escape prison

Hardcore HL1 modification.
The mod is very long and intense, it has a lot of puzzles and combat. Level design is very good. There are no new gameplay mechanics, but so many good and interesting ideas and that makes this mod a very unique experience.
On the other side, this mod is VERY difficult in terms of combat, so i don't recommend playing it on hard. Also, first third of the game may be boring at times, but later mod gains momentum. Most of the mod's areas (like 9/10) are xen-like maps , so if you didn't like xen levels in HL1, you may want to avoid playing this mod.
To summarize, this mod has a lot of good and interesting ideas and was an absolute blast to play!
9/10
