I've been going through all the Half-Life stuff recently, and Minerva marks the end of it. Honestly i didn't know about Minerva until I was halfway through Potral again last weekend.

I think I am going to this burned out of Half-Life, but trying to be very fair. However I think that helps with what I want to say about it:

This mod really isn't anything that is going to make any combat fresh. It seems also the enemies like to run away a lot. It feels extremely linear, even moreso that the Half-Life main games. For the most part, when you get underground....where to go is very clear.

But what this does well, is what you probably already know: level design. Even though it is a straight path, it is very well put together. And the mod is just oozing with some mood that I don't think another mod I've played has achieved.

If you aren't burned out of Half-Life yet....I recommend this very much.
