Starts off well, if you excuse the ugly particle effects. Very quickly though becomes nothing more than a corridor shooter with very repetitive gameplay that consists of 'Go through door, shoot combine in room, press button, shoot new combine that flood your room, move on and repeat all the way to the very end of the game. On at least 3 occasions there were infinite spawns for the combine, which became frustrating if you didn't immediately figure out where you need to go to, or which button to press. The final chapter consists of pressing 4 buttons while shooting more combine. Lots of buttons. Lacks the physics puzzles which made Half Life 2 noteable. Nearly 95% combine enemies; the headcrabs, headcrab zombies and antlions make extremely brief cameos early in the game. Honestly, if this was a free mod I would not have finished it, I only did so because I paid which is something I recommend you do not do. I repeat, do not buy this game. If the developer updates it to fix the poor level design I will reconsider my review, but I doubt that he will.
