Half-Life: Blue Shift Reviews

Great little game with a soundtrack to rival any Half-Life entry. Would highly recommend playing on hard mode.

Another side story which takes place at the same time as Half Life, but from a different perspective. This one is way shorter than Half Life: Opposing Force, but it is definitely worth playing.

This game is probably my least favourite game in the series, it doesnt hit hard as well as the other ones, if your looking for a half life game i'd recommend opposing force and not this

This game is super short but I enjoyed it. It never reaches the highs of the original half life or opposing forces but there wasn't any chapter I disliked. I wouldn't call it a must play but if you enjoyed the original half life and opposing forces I couldn't give you as single reason why you shouldn't play Blue Shift or a reason you wouldn't enjoy this expansion. As a fan of half life I would give this an 8/10. Just expect less variety of enemies and weapons than the previous two entries in the series.

A short but very sweet game featuring the story of Half Life supporting character Barney Calhoun. Kept fresh in comparison to the original by making it more action oriented, while also keeping true to it by having engaging puzzle solving. Definitely worth it if you want more Half Life.

7/10 a very fun way to make a half life spin off, very bite sized, but ultimately nothing too special in its own right.

just completed it short but pretty good game nice expansion

Unlike the opposing Force, the Blue Shift campaign gives a feeling that is too short, but it's fun and you playing like Barney, Black Mesa security and Gordon Freeman's right -hand man! What is negative unfortunately ... is nothing new and the online is not even present in the game But if you are a person who just wants to play and zero ... Enjoy and recommend Blue Shift

I'm surprised by how this game is actually good! I was going into it with the mentality of that this game was just more HL, but it wasn't, people put that in my head and now I just feel dumb for not playing it sooner. The story is quite nice and the pace of the game, alongside with the puzzles makes it a fresh experience. This paired with having played HL: Decay recently made me see again how much the Half-Life universe is rich and engaging, how passion was put into making this, even tho it was made by Gearbox. But, yeah man, Half-Life Blue Shift, very good game, recommend, looking forward now into playing Opposing Force and other fan made projects, like the recent Delta Particles.

Half-Life: Blue Shift continues through the first game of Half-Life but from new areas of the game and a entirely new perspective of a completely new character. In this sequel or add-on depending on your perspective you play through the game as a security guard of the facility the game is based in. Once again your role in the game is to fight through areas of the facility and escape like the first game. The game is more short and sweet than the first one and why some may consider it a mere add-on compared to a full sequel. The game comes along with a variety of puzzles and some require a bit of back and forth to complete them depending how long they are and what for in the game. Because its short and sweet there really isn't much to say about it other than it follows the same style and gameplay as the first Half-Life. The good thing about this game is the character in it comes back in the sequel for Half-Life 2 and his story isn't wasted here at all. I would still recommend this game to anyone who wants to try it out or likes the first game and wants more content or other characters points of view as well.
