Truly a master piece rework of a game.
It captures the essence and core principles of original HL, yet managed to innovate on some parts in a way that doesn't take away anything from the original.
Amazing sound design and visuals.
I especially loved Xen and Gonarch fight (and multiple possibilities related to it). The music, the tension.. superb fight.
10/10 recommending it to everyone. If you never played HL series and want to know about it or have played the original one, doesn't matter. Try it.

it's ok

This game is amazing for those that absolutely love action role-playing hack and slash genre. Has classes but they are not limited on equipment and skills they can utilize. Huge ass talent tree. Huge amount of items, stats, skill, modifiers etc. Comprehensive crafting system. The list goes on. Absolutely must try out for every hack'n'slash fan.

New seasons every few month that bring a lot of new stuff into the game.
Also, unlike some other famous developer in this genre, GGG listens to community and provides constant feedback on what they are planning and what is in store with every new season.

Must try! Is awesome! F2P!

While the game is fun and playing with friends is awesome, the game has too many issues. I can't even count all of them.

The loading screens are everywhere and take a lot of time even on high-end PC.

The game doesn't use VAC, instead relying on Rockstar's own auto-ban algorithm which is pure bullcrap. If you enter the online game or switch session you basically have over 3\4 chance to get a lobby with a hacker.
Even if your not hacking or modding yourself, you can get banned for being in lobby with a hacker.
Reporting a hacker doesn't help.

Rockstar's client support doesn't really want to help you with any kind of issues. They don't even have a visible button to create a petiton on their website. Most of their answers are pure copy-paste from already visible info on their page.

The game STILL has memory leak problems that some people experience even on high-end PC and some don't experience on low-end.

The updates require you a lot of in-game currency to buy new stuff or anything, while the payouts from anything is really small. They just want you to buy their fancy Shark cards for real money.

If you are looking to just cause mayhem with friends, there are other games that are a lot cheaper and have better relationship with community.
