Black Mesa is amazing! I’ve played through both Half-Life and Half-Life: Source many times over and Black Mesa blows both (not like Source is much better in the first place) out of the water. Honestly it’s difficult to recommend because one of the things that makes Black Mesa so impressive is how much they improved over the original so I feel the need to tell people to play Half-Life first, then Black Mesa.

Xen was also amazing! I see some comments here about not liking the Xen bosses which is fair enough but I loved them! Gonach (especially the very end) was quite difficult though. The end of Xen feels like a massive power trip too!
