Estranged Review: Act I
Another zombie mod for HL2... At first, the game will seem pretty good as a mod: there is a voice acting (not very good, of course), a good sound environment, small physical "puzzles", a few sudden moments when you are attacked from behind and you have to pull yourself together and carefully cure the zombie... However, the advantages end there and a series of disadvantages begins.:
Shooting: there are few bullets (which is good), but zombies are very fast and move as chaotically as possible, which makes it really difficult to hit them; you can aim a pistol, but it doesn't do any good - the image just increases a little and the sensitivity of the sight drops significantly and it becomes even more difficult to shoot, and considering that if hold down (rather than press once) the aiming button (which is logical and intuitive) that weapon won't fire...
Weapon: there are only 3 samples in the game – a pistol, a hammer and a submachine gun (from HL); you can only carry one weapon with you, although this is not important, because the choice of weapons is only once - choose a submachine gun and 250 rounds of ammunition for it or a hammer that kills zombies with 3 strokes and gives the ability to instantly get from a zombie at a distance of 2 meters; Weapon cartridges are quite rare, but they are illuminated for 10 meters through all walls, like most objects, and the game starts to get very boring at such moments.
Locations: although the initial locations are classic for this genre (night, coast, huts in the forest, road with cars), they are still not bad (except that the level design is lame and there are many unnecessary dead ends and rooms in which there is nothing interesting or useful) compared to the following and in they can even scare you; the rest of the locations are stupid and boring sewer ramblers with minimal difficulty in the form of one or two zombies and several elementary puzzles; and there is also the same rambler in the technical rooms of some kind of purification complex (apparently), with a primitive design, and although there are 4-5 zombies and you even have to do a little stealth to avoid getting hit by zombies; the final locations are generally lousy: the premises of some kind of scientific center with several zombies
The plot: the plot is banal – you were thrown onto dry land after a boat accident and subsequently you find a man who kills zombies and just gives you a gun; after that you just walk (and even ride a little on a primitive train) it is unclear where and for what; then you are captured by some bandits, again, it's not clear why, and you run away, wandering for 45 minutes through monotonous corridors and sewers with minimal difficulty and stress; then you somehow get into some kind of scientific center (through a piano in the bushes, or rather in a rock) and there you find a scientist telling something there, take in the hands of a submachine gun with several hundred rounds of ammunition - the challenge and horror of the game disappear completely.
So, to sum up, I would not advise you to play this mod unless you need to spend an extra two hours somewhere, or you don't want to play the second part of it, which I can't say anything about because I haven't played it.
