Black Mesa is a fan-made remake of Valve Software’s Half-Life, reimagined using the Source engine. It aims to recreate the original Half-Life experience with enhanced graphics, improved gameplay, and expanded content, particularly in the Xen chapters, which were significantly overhauled and expanded.
Gameplay
The game follows Gordon Freeman, a theoretical physicist at the Black Mesa Research Facility, as he navigates through an interdimensional alien invasion and a military clean-up crew. Fully released in 2020 after 15 years of development, it offers a refined single-player campaign with 19 chapters, featuring entirely new and expanded Xen levels and modern Source engine physics.
Forklifts
True to the industrial setting of the Black Mesa Research Facility, forklifts appear as environmental props throughout the labs and warehouses. These models reflect the upgraded visual fidelity of the Source engine compared to the 1998 original.
