    You just remembered me that this was my second start from start. I don’t remember what happened to first save file to be honest. That’s probably why I was so frustrated when the save file was gone and not compatible anymore, there was not even an older version to fallback to. Sorry I get a bit emotional.

    I just wonder, if the original Half-Life (which got an update to be modernized a little bit) is worth it or should I play Black Mesa again? At some point, I have to, because of unfinished business.

      Yeah as the other guy said, Black Mesa is so much better. It still has the essence of the original, but much more polished. Specially Xen, the last part. It’s so much more lively and detailed. If I remember correctly the original was rushed at that point so it was kind of unfinished. Also, I’m pretty sure you can use cheats to advance to any specific level if you don’t want to start from the beginning. Enjoy! I wish I could play it for the first time again haha

      If anything, it is worth playing the Blue Shift mod, imo! You play as Barney, and it is very high quality.

      I was going to wait for the Steam Frame (if I ever get out of the wait list) to do another Black Mesa playthrough, though.
