Before, I could not tell the difference between each scientist unless they had a different skin tone and every security guard looked the same. The character models were also more distinct now and diverse. Not only that, but they also had things on the screen to make it feel more authentic and not the copy paste on every screen like in Half-Life. I also could not really see too many details from the computers in the labs but with the updated graphics, I could easily tell they were computers. I remember in Half-Life some objects or enemies I would miss because they blended too much into the grainy background.
However, the updated graphics were definitely an improvement more details have been added in each level to make it feel more like a lab or an alien world. Even Half-Life 2 which came out in 2004 looked better than Black Mesa.
It still looked grainy and instead of looking like a game made in 2012, it looked more like a game made in 2000. Instead, it almost looked like they took the graphics and just filled in holes and smoothed out corners of the models. Crowbar Collective had been developing Black Mesa since 2012 so I had high hopes for the graphics. This made it easier on my eyes but if I am 100% honest, it did not meet the standards I was expecting considering that Black Mesa was released in 2020. The first thing I noticed when the game loaded was that the graphics have been given a much needed update. With Half-Life being one of my all-time favourite games, I jumped into Black Mesa with a hope that Crowbar Collective did Half-Life justice. The developers, Crowbar Collective, remade Half-Life (with permission from Valve, surprisingly) with the desire to give it updated graphics and reworked some of the more tedious levels such as the infamous Xen.
#BLACK MESA REVIEW MODS#
Now, we have seen sequels, mods and a fan-made remake of the game called Black Mesa. It quickly took the number six spot as a top seller which came as a surprise to Valve as they had only expected a lifetime sale of 180,000 units. When Half-Life first came out, it took the gaming community by storm. Reviews // 7th Feb 2021 - 2 years ago // By Joshua (Shnook) Black Mesa Review
