/vr/ - Retro Games

Been playing the remake.
It's alright but it never hold my interest for very long, so I've been playing in bursts. Like, too much of it feels like either a re-tread or something a bit too modern influenced in comparison to the original. Imagine my surprise when I get to Xen, it's like a whole new take on it that feels like it could have been its own thing.
So I hope the cats making it will go on making their own stuff afterwards, they're talented but overall I feel like Black Mesa having started out as a simple remake/re-imagining has been holding them back.
