But from what I do remember, it was a pretty faithful remake with a really nice coat of modern paint that didn’t compromise the original’s atmosphere too much. I haven’t played the original since I was a kid so it was all pretty fresh. I remember on my last playthrough of the original HL, I got to Nihilanth with really low health and couldn't beat him as a result, and ended up just using cheats at that point.įinished this a couple of days ago and wow, it’s great. The situations of ending up with really really low health and having to make it through a difficult encounter are rare if not non-existent anymore. It was annoying going through water and suddenly being damaged by this enemy you can barely see at all and is a pain in the ass to kill. I found the original underwater valve rather frustrating, even if you do kill the Ichthyosaurs first. On the dam sequence, the switch you have to hit to open the gates to get through the dam is up in the tower instead of being a valve underwater. There were a ton of drops where I was like "Really?! That's fall damage height?!" Xen completely removed fall damage entirely since the long jump module includes landing jets. The fall damage is nowhere near as strict as it was in the original. They did fix a lot of annoyances I had with the original on my replay through it that I noticed.
