Preis Update 23.06.24

Wieder einmal kehrst du zurück in die Blackmesa Einrichtung, doch dieses Mal nicht als Gordon Freeman oder als Adrian Shepard sondern als Barney Calhoun, ein Sicherheitsbeamter.

Am Anfang befindest du dich noch per Zug auf dem Weg in die Einrichtung, bis du dann an einer Stellt hältst und aussteigen kannst. Die Tür, die sich hier eigentlich öffnen sollte, bleibt jedoch verschlossen und als dann auch noch der Zug weiterfährt sitzt du auf der Plattform fest. Während du noch darauf warten darfst, bis dir der Sicherheitsmann auf der anderen Seite endlich aufmacht, siehst du einen alten Bekannten vorbeifahren. Es ist kein Geringerer als Gordon Freeman.

Endlich bist du dann auch in der Anlage, holst deine Ausrüstung und gehst zum Schießstand. Nach einigen kleine Aufgaben und Sequenzen dazwischen sitzt du mit einem Wissenschaftler in einem Aufzug, als er plötzlich zum Stocken kommt und die ganze Anlange beginnt zu beben. Der Aufzug stürzt ab, aber du überlebst den Absturz zum Glück.

Ab jetzt geht es rund! Du wirst es immer mehr mit Aliens zu tun bekommen und natürlich dafür auch die passenden Waffen erhalten. Eigentlich ist es deine Aufgabe den Leuten in der Einrichtung zu helfen und sie zu beschützen. aber in solchen Momenten ist das eigene Wohl sicherlich wichtiger.

Du wirst es auch nicht nur mit Aliens zu tun bekommen, sondern im Verlauf des Spiels auch mit Regierungstruppen, die es natürlich alle auf dich abgesehen haben.

Review zu Half-Life: Blue Shift

Vor dem Kauf des Spiels möchte ich eine Epillepsiewarnung aussprechen, da man gewisse Portale im Spiel besucht, die schnell flackerndes giftgrünes Licht erzeugen, was selbst für Nichtepilleptiker unangenehm sein kann!
Half-Life: Blue Shift zeigt (das erste) Half-Life aus einer neuen Perspektive.
Und das mal mehr, mal weniger gekonnt.
Ich würde tatsächlich sogar so weit gehen und behaupten, dass Blue Shift das Schlechteste ist, was man sich an Half-Life zulegen kann. Das hat gleich mehrere Gründe.
Zuallererst möchte ich betonen, dass, nur weil ich der Meinung bin, dass Blue Shift das Schlechteste ist, was Half-Life insgesamt zu bieten hat, das Spiel letztendlich nicht schlecht ist. Schließlich empfehle ich es offensichtlich.
Die Gründe, warum mir Blue Shift weniger gefallen hat, sind u.a., dass deutlich mehr Puzzle im Spiel verbaut sind, bei denen man Objekte herum schieben muss, was bisher bei Half-Life stets schlecht als recht funktioniert hatte. Des Weiteren ist Blue Shift nochmal deutlich kürzer als Opposing Force und insgesamt auch weniger interessant aufgebaut. Beispielsweise war es wirklich ärgerlich, dass man Doktor Rosenberg irgendwo hinbringen musste, was eher schleppend voranging.
Es sind, wie auch bei Opposing Force, bei mir neue Fehler innerhalb des Spiels aufgetaucht. Zum einen Kleinigkeiten, wie, dass die Mausgeschwindigkeit in Menüs viel zu lahm war, was in Opposing Force oder im Hauptspiel absolut kein Problem darstellte, zum anderen ist das Spiel bei mir einmal abgestürzt. Wahrscheinlich, weil ich mal schnellgespeichert habe, wo ich nicht schnellspeichern hätte sollen.
Und obwohl ich jetzt so einiges an Negativem über das Spiel geschrieben habe, gefällt es mir dennoch, trotz kleiner Fehler.
Es gibt zudem auch noch neue Gegner und neue Waffen. Auch die neue Perspektive des Black Mesa Zwischenfalls ist recht erfrischend gewesen.

Kommen wir für die Schnellen unter uns einfach mal zur Pro-Contra-Liste:

Pro:

+ Ich war wirklich positiv überrascht, als ich merkte, dass das Spiel auf Deutsch vertont ist
+ Viele nette Details
+ Man kann mit überraschend vielen Dingen interagieren (auch wenn ich es stellenweise schwierig fand, zu erkennen mit was überhaupt)
+ Zerstörbare Objekte
+ Die Gegner-KI ist überraschend gut. Gegner werfen clever mit Granaten, verstecken sich, wenn sie angeschossen werden, rücken zusammen vor etc. Wirklich erstaunlich, wenn man das Alter des Spiels bedenkt
+ Eine recht interessante und fesselnde Geschichte!
+ Abwechslungsreiche Orte, die immer wieder etwas anderes verlangen können
+ Man erhält im Verlauf des Spiels enorm viele Waffen, die sich auch grundlegend unterscheiden. Man hat da so seinen Standardkram und auch ausgefalleneres Zeug
+ Einige Gegner waren recht interessant. Vor allem herauszufinden welche Waffen bei welchem Gegner am effektivsten ist
+ Die meisten NPCs können ohne Einschränkung getötet werden und deren Munition geklaut werden. Eine Freiheit der ich mir mit Freuden bedient habe!

Contra:

- Das Hauptmenü ist ziemlich langweilig, liegt auch an der nicht vorhandenen Musik
- Auch wenn das Spiel auf Deutsch vertont ist, so sind einige Synchronsprecher wirklich schlecht. Vor allem die der Wissenschaftler und des Sicherheitspersonals
- Das Spiel hat keine einheitliche Soundpalette. Geräusche der Lebens- und Schildstationen sind ohrenbetäubend laut, Musik ist viel zu leise und Schussgeräusche wieder zu laut. Auch die Optionen sind nicht umfangreich genug dieses Problem konsequent zu lösen. Außerdem ist stellenweise Sound einfach furchtbar. Besonders Aufzüge und die Kräne im Lagerhaus kommen da als negative Erinnerung hoch!
- Einige Sounds hallen zudem. Das ist wirklich sehr unangenehm, vor allem mit Kopfhörern...
- Es gibt keine offiziellen FOV-Einstellungen. Zwar habe ich mich irgendwann an die Standard-FOV gewöhnt, aber bis es so weit war, war eine große Umstellung meiner Person nötig, um das zu akzeptieren
- Kurze, unterbrechende Ladesequenzen, die ohne jegliche Vorwarnung auftauchen und so den Spielfluss dezent stören
- Mehr Puzzle, bei denen verlangt wird, dass man Gegenstände herum schiebt, was ehrlich gesagt wenig Spaß gemacht hat
- Bei mir ist das Spiel einmal abgestürzt. Vermutlich, weil ich an einer ungünstigen Stelle mal schnellgespeichert habe

Prontra:

+- Das Spiel sieht nicht mehr wirklich gut aus. Texturen sind recht matschig. Und dennoch mir hat diese Ästhetik irgendwie gefallen. Schwer zu erklären. Man gewöhnt sich an den Look recht schnell und hat nicht immer vor Augen, wie viel schlechter es im Vergleich zu heutigen Titeln aussieht
+- Charaktermodelle werden immer wieder verwendet
+- Das Wechseln der Waffen mittels Mausrad muss per Linksklick bestätigt werden, weshalb ich auch gezwungenermaßen zu den Nummerntasten gewechselt habe, weil in einer brenzligen Kampfsituation das Wechseln der Waffen mittels Mausrad wirklich zu lange dauerte
+- Das Aufladen von Leben und Schild an den Stationen dauert recht lange. Ich vermute, dass man vermeiden wollte, dass man die Gegner dorthin lockt und sie von dort aus bekämpfen kann und sich währenddessen immer wieder Leben zieht, aber dergleichen habe ich nie ausgenutzt, weshalb ein Aufenthalt dort immer recht lange gedauert hatte
+- Mausgeschwindigkeit in Menüs ist zu langsam

Half-Life: Blue Shift ist vor allem eins: Mehr Half-Life! Und das ist ja grundlegend nichts Schlechtes. Allerdings, wenn es dann mehr Half-Life gibt, dann doch bitte ein bisschen gewagter.

Ich danke fürs Lesen und wünsche sehr viel Spaß beim Spielen! ;-)

Kürzer als Opposing Force aber dennoch gut! Diesmal spielt man ein Wächterchief, der die Wissenschaftler Evakuieren muss.
Die Waffen sehen bei Half-Life Blue Shift anders aus, als das Normale Half-Life+Opposing Force, Dennoch hat mir Opposing Force ammeisten gefallen wegen der Lebendigen Waffen und wegen der Spiellänge+Story.

This is apparently the worst Half-Life game? That's what I hear online all the time, but personally I think it's the best Gold Source Half-Life. It's nothing special but it's really fun. I like the level design in this game way better than Opposing Force and sometimes even the original Half-Life if I'm being brutally honest. I don't see where the hate comes from.

As with Opposing force it was fun to see yet another perspective of the Half Life game, this time Barneys perspective. Once again the events of this game tying in with the events of the first two games was really clever and interesting.

Fun gameplay if you like HL. But 1) under 4 hrs on hard; 2) some annoying level design and story choices; 3) no new weapons or enemies; 4) Rosenberg voice and AI are so bad it's funny. Got it for $0.62 but otherwise skip it.

If you like old-style shooters and you like Half-Life, yeah I'd recommend Blue Shift. It goes on sale for 99 cents which is dirt cheap too so it doesn't hurt to own. It's a nice Half-Life game but don't expect it to be as outstanding as base Half-Life 1 or Opposing Force is.

Compared to Half-Life 1 and the other two expansion packs (Opposing Force and Decay), Blue Shift is easily the weakest. You spend a lot of time fighting either soldiers or weaker enemy types, or listening to exposition like in Half-Life 2. The reason for this is because Blue Shift was intended to be an exclusive for the Sega Dreamcast console port of Half-Life 1, so the design needed to be toned down for console controls. The Deamcast port later got cancelled, so with the work they already had they figured it would be better to release it for PC instead than to not release it at all. I'm not in love with Blue Shift but I'm glad they did make is available on PC, it's not bad.

Despite being shorter and simpler than Half Life Opposing Force I enjoyed Blue Shift more so. Besides the awkward platforming levels on Xen I think this game manages to capture a charm reminiscent of the original Half Life. There were some confusing puzzles but they can be fun once you get the hang of them.

Overall a good experience with decent replayability, a good story and a good ending (no spoilers).

Blue Shift is, in fact, the same Half-Life, only with a shortened plot, a different hero and an incomplete arsenal. However, in order to understand some of the plot details of the original game, please be so kind as to check out Blue Shift.

Like Opposing Force, Gearbox has managed to come up with a fun campaign that offers very different gameplay from the main game. There are fewer scripted sequences than in Opposing Force, but the content here is still fun, with some great levels and encounters. Another feature of Blue Shift is that it offers a more palatable Xen tour than OpFor and the original Half-Life (though, this may be partly due to its simplicity).

Blue Shift's final scene is more interesting than Opposing Force's, but its actual ending is more prosaic than the end of Adrian Shephard's story, which has left players wondering about his ultimate fate since the mission pack was first released. Maybe it's because of Half-Life 2 that we really know what happened to Barney Calhoun, but once the credits roll, it's unlikely that ending will hold you back.

Half-Life: Blue Shift is the shorter of Half-Life's two mission packs, clocking in at around 2.5 hours. While short, it's still worth the price of admission, particularly on sale (at the time of writing, you can grab it for 79p, an absolute steal).

As with Opposing Force, Gearbox manages to pull off an interesting campaign that provides gameplay which feels distinct from the main game. There are fewer scripted sequences than in Opposing Force, but what's here is still entertaining, with some great levels and encounters. Blue Shift also has the distinction of providing a more palatable Xen excursion than what can be found in both OpFor and the original Half-Life (though, that may be partly due to the brevity of it).

Blue Shift has a more fun final scenario than Opposing Force, but its actual ending is a bit more pedestrian than the end of Adrian Shephard's tale, which has kept players wondering about his ultimate fate since the mission pack first released. Maybe it's the fact that we actually know what happened to Barney Calhoun thanks to Half-Life 2, but this ending is less likely to stick with you once the credits roll.

Overall, this is well worth the price of admission as an enjoyable bit of Half-Life history and an engaging, if short, campaign in its own right.

Half-Life: Blue Shift is the final expansion for Half-Life and if you love Half-Life you will love this expansion. The most interesting/fun fact about the expansion for me is that Gearbox (Borderlands) developed it in 2001 under the supervision of Valve which is just a cool piece of history in my mind.

This expansion has some solid combat, enjoyable puzzles, and a good story with a unique perspective. The only knock that I have towards this game/expansion is that it is more Half-Life and in my mind you would think there would be more guns or some gameplay changes to justify it as an expansion.

cleared it in 6 hours about on the easier difficulty i think most seasoned players could do it in 2-3 possibly. I'd say totally worth it if you get it on sale for a dollar or less. there is a co op feature so you can play with your friends. no final boss like in the base game and opposing force though. But some of the puzzles took me a little time to figure out. I would say its the worst of the bunch due to its length and a few other small details but i'd suggest it to anyone whos a halflife fan and wants more from that world just adjust your expectations on it being just like the others in all aspects. happy to have played the series

Another game in Half-life series.
But this time you play as an black mesa guard.
Game was almost as good old half-life. There was a little bugs here and there and it was too short in my opinion. But overall it was quite good game.

Contrary to popular opinion, I think this is much better than Opposing Force. It's much shorter for it's own good and it feel a lot more like Half-Life while Opposing Force is just Call of Duty with non stop annoying action against ridiculous bullet sponge black ops enemies.

Blue Shift is much slower pace and more intimate. Doesn't have the budget of giant aliens and explosions that made Opposing Force so popular but it has much better pace.

It's fine. However, I recommend getting opposing force first instead before this one. In comparison to Opposing force, it doesn't provide that many new content. But as a half life expansion, it's a fine addition to the game.

Wow. What an amazing expansion. I would say the story was fairly entertaining. I didn't get bored at many points, unlike half life 2 and opposing force and half life 1 (which will be completed soon) This is the first old style half life I have completed. Yes I completed it before half life 1.

In conclusion, amazing game 10/10.

The main problem is its length, it's too short. Has the worst level design, Of course i'm talking about The classic Dr. Rosenberg part, where you have to press E every five seconds for him to follow you to the elevator. The Xen levels are short and kinda stupid. Compare to Opposite Force that has several melees and guns, it offers nothing new... but it feels good to play because it's a Half-Life game. Play it if you don't have any Half-Life content left to play.

Half-Life: Blue Shift is the second and final expansion to Half-Life. Despite that, I played it before the first expansion, Half-Life: Opposing Force. This is because I heard that Opposing Force was superior and playing it first would make Blue Shift feel underwhelming in comparison. Blue Shift was a short, painless experience but somewhat dull. As for game-play, the level design was still interesting and it still had some interesting areas of the Black Mesa research facility to show you. The annoying platforming aspects in the base game were absent and the puzzles, while there were few of them and none were quite complex, were enjoyable and satisfying to solve. The game obviously retains the same gun-play from Half-Life but, sadly, unlike Opposing Force, no new weapons are added to your arsenal. You just get the base game weapons and even then you don't even get all of them. While some weapons did have lore reasons not to be in your arsenal, some are inexcusably absent. As for the narrative, aside from the intro, which I thought did the original game's intro justice, the narrative of Blue Shift, the very thing that made Half-Life worth playing in 2021, paled in comparison to the base game's. The narrative was forced upon you, not allowing you to kill essentially anyone you'd like, making certain NPCs essential in the narrative. It's a step down from the original Half-Life but I wouldn't mind it as much if the narrative was just as good as the original. Unfortunately, it's quite dull. The plot is simply to escape the aforementioned Black Mesa research facility and lacks the complex morale questions brought up by the first game that made it worth playing.
In conclusion, Blue Shift, as stated before, is short and painless. You can beat it in one sitting and there's definitely fun to be had. However, unlike the base game, nothing in Blue Shift will leave much of an impact on you. Blue Shift is simply more Half-Life and not much else. But that may not be a bad thing.

Half-Life: Blue Shift - A Good Game Doesn't Have To Be Long

Released in 2001 HL:BS follows the story of security guard Barney Calhoun and his experience during the events of the MESA incident. The game has a few memorable characters but not because they have any voice-lines, it's because their one of few characters in this game (unless you count the people shooting at you). While this isn't necessarily a bad thing in typical HL fashion this story isn't one to write home about or lose your nut over. Although, seeing the events unfold from the perspective of a guard is quite intriguing to say the least and we see many parts of MESA that I wish I had seen in the original HL

The graphics are obviously a bit dated in 2020 but I quite enjoy the pixelated character models and low resolution sounds, it's very retro and quite nostalgic and considering the technical limitations of the engine they were using as well as the time period I'd say this is pretty impressive.

I very much enjoyed this game with my only problem being it's length. The game can be beat in about 2 hours on a casual play-through and unless you are trying to complete it on the hardest difficulty level then there is no real level of replay-ability which is a shame as this is such a fun little expansion.

To conclude I'd only play HL:BS if you've played HL1 and wan't more sweet MESA action! It's low replay-ability level and length is definitely a bummer but that doesn't stop it from being a good game.

People are too hard on Blue Shift. While it pales in comparison to Half-Life and Opposing Force, much shorter and has less intense gameplay, I believe this can partly be forgiven due to the protagonist we play; Barney Calhoun.

Seeing as Barney is merely a security guard with less equipment and skill than who you play in the other two instalments, it makes sense in a canon viewpoint that his time was limited because he most likely would have died if he had stayed as long as the others. This is also why the game has more of a horror atmosphere in places, because Barney is a more vulnerable character; he is the underdog of the trio and his only goal was to get out in one piece and try to help anyone along the way. It fits him as a character.

Despite the difference in tone and gameplay however, it is still very easily the worst Half-Life (altough I haven't finished Decay); the interesting POV of the security guard, its unique setting and tone are the only things it has to offer over the other games. On the other hand, it's very good for being the weakest Half-Life game as overall it is still a good game and is very enjoyable but just not up to usual Half-Life standard. I really appreciate it for what it is.

If the game was just a little longer, had a bit more engaging action, a little more original content and put even more emphasis on the horror and vulnerability tone I think people would appreciate this game far more and I believe this would help bridge the gap between this game and the other Half-Life games.

Really short DLC compared to Half-Life, I definitely recommend getting it though if you're interested in the lore, besides that, you should have fun for a couple of hours and most likely never play it again.

Disclaimer: It's a little buggy with the mouse; just apply Raw Mouse Input in Settings as soon as you boot it up.

While it is not as good as Opposing Force is. Blue Shift still offers a fun and difficult experience fit for any Half Life fan. I mean don't get me wrong I would recommend Opposing Force over Blue Shift any day of the week.
But as it stands Blue Shift is a pretty good expansion.

well this has been a disappointment.
after playing the original half life and opposing force i was expecting another good expansion pack, but this was nothing compared to them, it was short and full of bugs.

characters wouldn't have dialogue when i reloaded a quick save, Dr Rosenburg would barely walk a step before stopping and needing a break, and once he just full on stopped, sometimes i couldn't move when i went back to fix it.

it adds barely any content other than a new character and some new parts of black mesa, and even those are bland in themselves.

it had some annoying puzzles near the end of the game and was much shorter than Opposing Forces.

the good parts were the start and the last endgame part, and of course the credits, because i didn't need to play the game anymore

This is a small expansion to Half Life 1, so don't play this unless you have played HL1 first. HL: Blue Shift is quite short, only around 2-3 hours long, but a great game with good content.

The story is great, and interesting to experience the disintegrating world from a different perspective as a regular security guard. There isn't much else to say, just that you are playing as a regular dude doing his normal job, but one day the world is coming to an end and you have to fight to survive. If you liked the Half Life game-play and story and want to experience more, this is a great option.

This isn't the best Half-Life experience you'll ever have, but it's worth a playthrough, and charming in its own right. It's interesting to see how Barney Calhoun escaped the Black Mesa incident and actually ended up heading to Xen before Gordon.

A fun three hour experience for those who need more Half-Life comfort food.

This game is absolutely amazing. I definitely recommend it for Half-Life fans. I am a huge fan of half-life, but didn't have enough money for it, so this was easily a cheaper alternative. There are some hilarious easter eggs and even some parts where you see Commando Crowbar (Gordon) too. At the beginning of Half-Life( which I played on sven co-op) you see a guard banging on a door. It kinda freaked me out when I started banging on a door when gordon passed me by. I definitely recommend this game for half-life fans with a small wallet.

Play this after Half-Life but before Opposing Force. It's quite good, actually, although it is certainly less ambitious than Opposing Force (being half the length and with no new weapons). The puzzles and environments are great, being like Half-Life's while also feeling fresh and new. You get to see different parts of Black Mesa here, parts that are perhaps less exciting and certainly less varied but no less interesting. The Xen section of this game is also quite a bit better (and shorter obviously) than the Xen section of Half-Life, and I think it was actually the best part of the game for me. You definitely don't have to play this game to understand the rest of the story of the Half-Life series (and both this game and Opposing Force have questionable canonicity) but if you are a fan of the series I don't see why you wouldn't want to have a fun, short, interesting extension of the setting of Half-Life.

The Blue Shift extension is worth playing if you enjoyed playing Half Life and want to see the events of the Black Mesa incident from another perspective.

The events of this DLC go alongside the main game from the start to the Apprehension chapter, and the playtime is quite short, which is why it’s best to play this extension first before Opposing Force (whose events go from Surface Tension to the end of the game).

I went into this game expecting it to be the worst of the original Half-Life games, and in a few ways it is, but it's still a good time.

It lacks weapon and enemy variety, and the levels and environments aren't as inventive as the original game or Opposing Force, but the overall quality is still fairly high. It's a more consistent experience than either of those games, and it has a lot of charm. There's a little bit more humour, and the notion of the plucky underdogs of the Black Mesa incident (the pacifist scientists and the usually incompetent and poorly trained security guards) managing to get through by working together makes a welcome change from being Freeman who becomes a well-known hero over the course of the first game, or just Shepherd, a generic soldier in OpFor.

It's a short game, but worth your time if you're a fan of the original and want to round out the experience.

An expansion pack for Half Life 1 involving a different character's events. If you haven't tried this before but enjoyed any of the Half Life games you have to pick this up some time!

It’s the year 2000. Whilst Valve were busy conceptualising the next generation of Half-Life – a vision of the entire planet occupied by a sinister alien force, with a journey that went from an ice-locked research ship, to an underwater base and even to a massive factory altering the atmosphere – Gearbox were hard at work taking players back to Black Mesa for one final go around.

Blue Shift, originally titled Guard Duty (yawn), was conceived as part of an upcoming Half-Life port to the short-lived Dreamcast, complete with visually enhanced models and textures. This port was eventually cancelled, leaving Blue Shift to debut on PC alone.

Given the game was intended as a supplement to Dreamcast players’ experience of the far meatier Half-Life itself, Gearbox’s comparatively tiny (I breezed through it in 3 hours this evening) expansion pack didn’t receive the warmest reception. Black Mesa's final hurrah is now largely considered to be the weakest entry in the Half-Life series.

And the final hurrah of that incarnation of Half-Life, which revolutionised the genre – and the medium – just a few years prior but was by now showing signs of age. The novelty was wearing off.

Perhaps it already had.

But all that said...I think I’m still willing to go to bat for Blue Shift as being the better of Gearbox’s two expansion packs.

Yeah, yeah – I can already hear the boos and the jeers. But I promise I don’t mean for this to be some ‘hot take’ or sarky contrarian opinion: I genuinely believe the game’s construction is significantly better than that of Opposing Force’s.

Where Opposing Force introduced a cast of generic, poorly conceived new enemies – the risible Race-X – Blue Shift is content to work with what Half-Life gave it, and in doing so it actually inches a fraction closer to where Valve were taking the series themselves.

Similarly, Blue Shift snubs the convention that FPS expansion packs ought to include a host of new weaponry – a convention Opposing Force wholeheartedly embraced (some, like the sniper rifle, were useful and satisfying; others, like the barnacle gun and displacer cannon, felt thrown into the game with little thought as to how they might enhance gameplay). Forget the wrench and desert eagle – it’s back to the crowbar and the glock.

Where Blue Shift shines is in its tight structure, which propels you through the facility’s familiar environs with a surprisingly focused narrative. Objectives are clearly explained, and it rarely feels like you’re just aimlessly wandering the steel corridors of old, waiting for the next enemy to pop up.

Sure, there’s some weak sequences: an unimaginative – if even outright bad – return to Xen and a few trivial treks through industrial tunnels populated with little more than the occasional headcrab. Warning signs, I think, that we’d seen enough of this setting, and the designers were struggling to concoct new areas to explore.

Fortunately, the best of Blue Shift involves set-pieces driven by unique NPC’s – a clear and successful evolution of one of Half-Life’s key innovations. It’s where Half-Life was about to go in a big, big way just a few years later.

For the first time in the series (up until this point): we have scientists with names. Now, that might not seem like a big deal, and no, they aren’t exactly brimming with personality, but it goes a long way towards defining the purpose of your mini-adventure, leading to a tense and inventive finale. Who’d have thought that the simple act of pressing a button at the right time would prove more interesting than firing blindly at a giant bilious baby monster or whatever the terrible-looking alien boss at the end of Opposing Force is?

So whilst Blue Shift may not end up being all that memorable or ambitious, it deserves a reappraisal of its evident strengths: namely its objective-based gameplay and strong narrative propulsion. As a tiny piece of Half-Life, it works, and I don’t think any amount of new weapons or enemies would improve it: it does just fine with what it has.

I’m glad the ‘official’ or ‘canonical’ Black Mesa adventures ended here, though – Valve had no desire to return (they had insisted on nuking BM in OP4) and by the time the finale comes around it’s pretty clear Gearbox had reached the end of the line creatively.

But should you desire more Black Mesa / Xen / GoldSrc, there’s a wealth of brilliant and creative mods out there, and they’re still coming in even now.

A few of them even manage to stand tall against Blue Shift and Opposing Force themselves, but we can at least thank both expansion packs - products of their time - for showing just how much potential the Black Mesa setting had.

Not quite as good as Half-Life 1 and kinda short, but it still has it's moments. It's interesting to see what else happened at Black Mesa and also the 'puzzles' in Blue Shift were a bit more challenging imo, which I liked - 8/10 for a nice, short game.

I'd leave a negative review for the HD pack but the rest of the game good. Not as much shit added as Opposing Force but still good. Oh btw its a unspoken rule in the Half-Life community that you keep that shit off. Played the won version which has less errors. Use a Blue Shift unlocked tool, to convert it to normal HL. Just watch out tho, the version i tried years ago missed a map, in the trainyard. Edit the mod name in liblist.gam to match actual blue shift if you care about tracked hours. Probably the folder too.

If you liked Half-Life, Blue Shift is just ok. This is an add-on that doesn't add anything to the game other than offering another view of the Black Mesa facility. The game is exactly like the main game which is a downside since the weapons and enemies are exactly the same. It's not worth buying separately, but it's worth trying if you get it through a bundle with the main game.

fun game in the perspective of barney calhoun. gearbox really put very good attention to the game, and it sucks that gearbox nowadays is just greedy trash (cough cough randy pitchford cough cough). but its really fun and is good to play if you're willing to play more half-life. of course there are parts i dont like, such as the rosenberg escort mission. but overall, fun game.

Pros: Great scenario scripting, good level of detail, best Xen adventure, struggle of armor because of security guard role.
Cons: Pretty much original HL with barely anything new, lack of weaponry, pretty short because it's meant for Dreamcast.

I heard this was really bad and like

yeah? kinda? It's not awful. It's extremely skippable because it's so short and ends with no fanfare. Kinda sad to see such a great premise was done so dirty. I think if this had been 4 hours longer It'd be an 8 instead of this.

Honestly this got uninstalled after I beat it. No need to ever come back to this. Don't seek this out unless you absolutely need more Half-Life and already played Opposing Force.

Blue Shift happens at the same time with the adventure of Gordon in Half-Life, talking about a group of scientists and a guard trying to save themselves after sh*it blew up in Black Mesa. The story is very straightforward, not much plots. I think one reason Blue Shift is developed is Valve wanted to build a foundation of the story in Half-Life 2, which I haven't played yet.

Compared to Half-Life and Opposing Force, I think the graphics of the game is enhanced, though many scenes are too dark even I have adjusted the brightness to maximum, making me feel uncomfortable. The atmosphere is enhanced, too. It is spooky and finally brings a sense of horror that I did not feel in the previous two games. I enjoyed it a lot. Unfortunately, the game is too short. I was expecting six hours playtime like Opposing Force, yet it only has three hours. It feels like the show is already over when the best of it just begins.

Before you play:

-If you aren't able to look around go to Options>Mouse and enable raw mouse input
-Before you save, switch to your crowbar cause there's a glitch that will make you start shooting when you load a save
