pretty fun, holds up really well

It's Day 1 of Early Access so the game having issues is not a surprise, with the biggest by far being optimization. As far as the gameplay goes, you'll sometimes not be able to complete missions because a key for the objective doesn't spawn nearby, a lot of gameplay is just walking around trying to locate objectives in the first place, and the pvp/pve is not super engaging, especially with the aforementioned poor performance.
However, I do recommend this game because there is definitely some fun to be had, even at this early stage. I'll definitely be hopping back on and I'm interested in how this project develops as time goes on. I know a lot of people in this genre are tired of hearing this word; but there's definitely potential here.

Bit of a short story but an enjoyable one nonetheless, would definitely recommend playing this after Half Life & Opposing Force.

If you liked playing Half Life then Opposing Force is a really good expansion to get a similar experience from a different perspective, providing some more lore about the Black Mesa Incident while remaining short & enjoyable.
Hopefully we'll see Adrian Shephard return to Half Life in a future entry, for now this will have to do;) https://youtu.be/M_4Ot9K2LM4?si=HIWGcgrRPsFzDZ9n
