    Halflife was revolutionary when it was released. I’ve recently been playing through Black Mesa, which is a remake in the Source engine, with some parts changed or extended, and it;s absolutely excellent

    Before that, Doom and Doom][ were the best FPSs. The 2016 remake does somehow manage to recapture some of the magic but the originals will always hold a special place in my heard

      I agree on Doom and Doom 2. Sheer fun! I will say though that Doom 2016 didn’t capture the original magic for me personally - it just felt too… formulaic?

      Also, far too much emphasis on platforming.

        Doom 2016 is certainly not the same, but it does keep the same feeling of fast and frenetic hyperviolence that you need to be right in the middle of, with minimal reliance on plot

      I tried one of the Half Life games for about an hour, and the sci-fi aspect killed my interest with different creatures. I didn’t care about what happened in the story.

      I played a good amount of Doom reboot but I never finished it. It’s a decent game. I can’t get into being on Mars fighting random creatures, but that’s only my thing, I don’t have any criticisms. I heard the second one is excellent but I have not bothered with it.
