Black Mesa is so worth it. Somehow feels like a brand new game while also like you are playing the original at the same time. I do not think they could have done it any better. Most remakes either stray too far from the original or adhere so closely to it there are no improvements. These fools pulled some black magic with Black Mesa.

Now, no clue what is different about Black Mesa vs the Definitive Edition.
·
According to Wikipedia, the Definitive Edition was a free update for owners of the game and had to do with some lighting upgrades and revamps of non-Xen levels.

I don't know all the details, but I think it's a big credit to Valve that they allowed this game to go out as a commercial release.

I believe they are all called the Definitive edition now as Xenu has been completed

Good to know and thank you. I tried searching earlier but my work likes to block anything even slightly video game related. NC-17 Netflix movies, gun websites, misspelling "dicks.com" (sporting goods) all work fine though.

Could not agree more with the second part. Valve has received a lack of flack for some stuff but in many ways they have been a breath of fresh air for the PC gaming community.

Thanks for that. I could have lived with Xenu being only 10 minutes though...didn't need to last 2+ hours. Perhaps they shortened it or did I play the Definitive version?

You can play with a controller but you have to set the bindings in the menus from what I remember.

The game is really awesome and highly recommended, absolutely worth $4 in my opinion!
