In fact, it bucks a lot of trends, given that it's a third-person puzzley adventure starring a mermaid. Until now everything we've featured has been strictly first-person, but Water bucks that trend. It's such an uncanny representation that it may take you a while to notice there are no enemies traipsing around, but then those games were hardly known for their satisfying combat. Not only have the developers nailed the grimy aesthetic of Team Silent's classic series, they've matched its colour palette, borrowed its sound effects, and recreated its lonely atmosphere. The impressive Alchemilla drops you in the world of Silent Hill, endless fog, Dark World and all. Nightmare House 2 is basically FEAR-it even features its own creepy ghost girl-but more FEAR is hardly a bad thing. The horror on offer here is mainly of the jump scare variety, so if you were hoping for the psychological horror of Silent Hill, move on to the next item in the list.
You don't need to have played the original-in fact, it's included as a prologue, giving you the chance to explore both a haunted house and a spooky hospital.

Where there are modding tools, horror mods are sure to follow. Puzzles are the order of the day here, and it's surprising just how easily Half-Life 2's toolset translates to this new focus. In that spirit, Research and Development does away with offensive weapons altogether, leaving just a couple of secondary tools to let you manipulate gravity or order Antlions about. Thanks to its then-revolutionary ragdoll physics, a lot of time in Half-Life 2 was spent throwing chairs at NPCs, or flinging teacups with the gravity gun. The right hands in this instance are a couple of established game devs, and their experience shines through pretty much every crevice of this slick, well-paced adventure.

This impressive Episode Two mod begins with Gordon rowing to a distant coastline: a coastline that reminds you just how pretty the venerable Source engine can look in the right hands. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to step into the sneakers of Gordon Freeman and set off to repair a Resistance listening post. Occasional cutscenes tell the story of a subway technician suffering from leukaemia, but Get a Life's unlucky hero Alex also has to contend with the mod's new limb damage system, which causes effects like dizziness and limping, depending on where he's hit by enemies.
This lengthy, ambitious mod swings from horror to all-out action. Obviously, said ordinary man soon acquires a gun and starts killing people, but you might snap too if you called that dystopia home. Two-part mod The Citizen provides a new angle on the world, casting you as an ordinary oppressed citizen of City 17.

Gordon Freeman ends the Half-Life series as a crowbar-wielding superhero, a figure of legend in the Half-Life universe. You begin the game strapped to the underside of a helicopter, before being dropped on a mysterious island with a sinister secret. It's a sizeable story, about the length of an official chapter, with considered level design and a high level of polish.

The original Source mod was later expanded into a full game, one our Phil thought extremely highly of in our review.Īdam Foster's Minerva comes close to the quality of Valve's own Half-Life 2 Episodes-in fact, Valve was so impressed Foster joined the company.

As Stanley-or, perhaps more accurately, as the player controlling Stanley-you're free to follow or ignore the various instructions the wonderful narrator bellows over you, resulting in a tangled, branching story that rewards your curiosity, imagination, and defiance. Or rather, it's the story of the story: a deviously clever, reactive adventure that second-guesses your every move. This is the story of a man named Stanley. We've chosen mods that stand up as separate adventures, sometimes set in worlds far removed from Combine Earth. It's the latter two we're going to focus on today, as we round up the best single-player Half-Life 2 mods. Over the years we've seen all manner of excellent mods emerge, adding co-op or competitive multiplayer, shiny graphical updates, new story content, and even full conversions that bear little or no resemblance to the original game. Thanks to the powerful, if a bit creaky, Source engine, there are plenty of modded adventures to take for a spin. Sixteen years later, Half-Life 2 is still popular with the modding community.
