Any similar mods?

[🦀WHY IS ALL COOP COOKED🦀]

Are there any similar single player mods on steam?

I don't know of any mods even close to the level MINERVA achieved. I'm gonna offer something entirely different...my second favorite Sourcemod:

http://www.moddb.com/mods/research-and-development

It has nothing to do with what you're looking for but I haven't recommended it in a while. So there you go.

Hmm ok thanks, I'll give it a try ;)

It's not quite close to MINERVA in terms of quality, but it's still a enjoyable game: http://www.combinedestiny.com/index2.php
Combine Destiny 1 & 2

A much better one, and more popular, in my opinion, is: http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-citizen
The Citizen Series

Both are similar to MINERVA, in terms of story, but The Citizen comes clase in terms of quality.

Research and Development is incredible. An altogether different take on the Half-Life universe to MINERVA, but I was utterly gobsmacked when I played it back when it first came out. Such amazing puzzles - it's almost an puzzle / adventure game in places. Go play it too!

Mission Improbable[missionimprobable.org] is also excellent.

This is great.

Gobsmacked is a good adjective to describe the feeling after playing R&D. Heh.

But MI didn't do it for me. I got that they were going for an experience similar to what MINERVA provided (or at least that's what it felt like they ended up providing) but the gameplay just wasn't satisfying and the storytelling was a little on the sparse side.

For instance, most of the battles were just like "throw a bunch of enemies at you at once, clear them out, next time do the same but a little harder mix and slowly introducing new enemies." With a little travel mixed up in between. It really reminded me a lot of the F.E.A.R. gameplay. Not terrible, but predictable and tiring after a while. I think this aspect would have made the gameplay suffer even harder had it went on any longer.

Plus the color palette was a little too contrasting between the different areas and overall everything looked washed out. Maybe that's exactly what they were going for and I missed a bigger undertone but I wasn't satisfied with that.

As far as the storytelling, what little of it there was was told by "Eli". It almost felt like he was put there for comic relief, too, but it did pretty well to distract me from the info he was sharing with me. I didn't catch much else in that department, either through gameplay, exploration or the narrative.

And the ending was supremely disappointing. You don't even get to kill the "boss". I felt as if they were on the verge of beginning the storytelling just as the game was ending.

But I loved the double rainbow.

I guess I'm being a little hard on the game, though. I did enjoy it from start to finish but some elements made me remember I was playing a game and removed the immersiveness for me.

I'm tough on Source mods. My list goes like:

1. MINERVA
2. Research & Development

Everything else feels incomplete.

MINERVA 2 pls. I'll trade you my prized emoticon for it.

Oh, I forgot to mention, there's a mod that's currently only available on the Garry's Mod workshop called "7 Hour War". It's not Minerva, but it's still pretty good. Lot's of new areas, challenging events, you guys should give it a try. It's a little buggy though, just FYI.

Black Mesa is HL1 on source .. it was such a long time ago I played HL1 it was fun to go back and play the story on source .. I'm looking forward to the last couple of chapters comming out in a couple of months

Try Desura.com , i have and had so many FREE mods from there , some are short , some long , some suck , some are fantastic .

Give Someplace Else a try. It's the "prequel" to MINERVA and was made by the same guy. The mod was done in HL1 so you'll need that. It is fantastic!

My top Half-Life 2 MODs are: Station 51, Depot, Half-Life 2: Riot Act, Half-Life 2: Calamity

They're all pretty great and about 1 hour long each.

Look up Leon's Map Pack on HL2 Files. http://halflife2.filefront.com/file/;39881

Research and Development is good and really unique. I LOVE MR. Whirly and the goofy ending trailer. My All-time FAV MOD is Strider Mountain....very complex and complete with some really nice puzzles.
