From GameWatcher: "Black Mesa: Xen is coming out soon, if its latest beta test phase is anything to go by. Developers have pushed all of Xen and Gonarch's Lair maps to the beta branch, which means there's plenty more for us to run through.
This is the second stage of the game's drawn-out testing phase, with the first one having only featured 3 maps, while the Xen/Gonarch beta brings this number up to 9 dedicated levels."
The studio responsible for refining Half-Life with an unofficial, Valve-approved reimagining has teased an upcoming project that needs beta testers.
JASON WRITES: When Half-Life 1 first released, it was revolutionary. Its approach to video game design and storytelling sent ripples through the gaming industry and its influence can be seen in just about every AAA game that has been released since, at least on some level.
If you are after a more modern iteration of this fantasic game, I highly suggest that you play Black Mesa (third-party remake of Half-Life made in the Source game engine).
The graphics are not top notch but they greatly enhance the experience (especially in the alien world) and the effects added are very nice.
I had a blast playing this on Steam Deck and it was a much better experience than playing vanilla Half Life 1
