Half-Life: Blue Shift

Half-Life: Blue Shift is the story of security guard Barney Calhoun. Events run parallel to what happened in the original game. The layout of the complex is familiar from the first part, although the setting has changed. The updated models are noticeable in the details. Weapons and first aid kits are issued as you go. The sewer serves as a route to exit. After a cascading resonance, a security officer and a group of scientists attempt to leave the complex. The paths of the heroes intersect with the path of Gordon Freeman. Scientists ask for help, and part of the tasks is related to their rescue. The addition is completed in a few hours. Barney serves as a security guard and faces the consequences of a laboratory accident. The project was originally prepared for the console, and later released on the computer. Databases contain records of what is happening. The levels are familiar from the first part, but presented from a different angle. The objectives are shifted towards saving people. Security and aliens hinder progress equally. Companions from among the scientists give tasks to save their colleagues. Elevators and passages look different than in the original. Barney does not know how to use heavy weapons as deftly as special forces. Security personnel notes explain the accident. The arsenal is familiar, but the opponents are the same. The project was released with updated models. We have to economize on weapons: there are few cartridges. Individual levels show familiar places from a new perspective. Security helps the hero at the first levels. Individual episodes last an hour. For those players who like additions to the classics, this part is suitable.
