Half-Life Legacy: part 4 | The Phoenix Project | Windows | 2025

The first time I played Half-Life, I really hated being in the borderworld. Xen just sucked to me, with the biggest issue being the game doing a way worse job of telling the player where to go than in Black Mesa. It really soured my whole Half-Life experience, until I played Opposing Force (   • (First Play-through) Half-Life: Opposing F...  ). But coming back to Xen with some more knowledge does make the whole experience less painful. Notably: where to go, not to engage the enslaved Vortigaunts in Interloper, running away from the gargantuas, the magnum is the best weapon most of the time (especially versus the Alien Controllers), how the Nihilanth gets taken down. The platforming in the beginning of Interloper still sucks - I do need to look up the better way of beating that section. But overall, the finale isn't really that bad.* And obviously, we had to get both the bad and good endings for the achievements. *Yes I save-scummed the giant baby to try to minimise the teleports because they're miserable. I don't care. ~~~~~~~~~~ CHAPTERS 00:00:00 c4a1 XEN 00:07:11 c4a2 GONARCH'S LAIR 00:21:03 c4a3 INTERLOPER 01:03:03 c4a3 NIHILANTH 01:11:42 c5a1 ENDGAME 01:14:22 CREDITS ~~~~~~~~~~ Check out my Twitch channel at   / grimreaperwithalawnmower
