Bottom Line is, although it is flawed this game still kicks major ass with steel tipped boot.
Just know that you're in for a short ride that will leave you yearning for a full-fledged sequel.

(spoilers to Half-life 1) Honestly, the game isn't worth the 5$ it sells for on steam. The game is only 4 hours and I finished it in a weekend afternoon. Some puzzles were somewhat confusing but overall the game was pretty easy. However I think that it works out in the end.
Half-life specifically had Gordon Freeman as the main character because he was much more relatable then someone like the doom guy, but the further we go through the main story the less relatable he becomes, after all he's the main character. On another hand Calhoun is a blue collar worker with an undecided major that doesn't get to fight the thing holding up portals between realms. Calhoun is your average joe that doesn't get to do much stuff, the game doesn't even have all of the weapons from the original game available to the player. In the end he's just a security guard.
Now I know that the game was probably made like this due to it just being a cash grab after the success of the opposing force but I did enjoy playing Blue-shift however if there is any way to get it for a lower price I would strongly advice to do that instead of paying the 5$.

The thing that ultimately forces me to give it a low rating is how damnably short it is – the game ending just as you are starting to get involved in the plot.
If you don't own "Opposing Force," get it. If you do, then don't expect a repeat performance.
Short but sweet.
If you've never played "Half-Life" or "Opposing Force," you'll be blissfully unaware that Blue Shift has the same weapons, the same monsters, and the same basic cast of characters. But it's still a blast to play.
Essentially a graphics enhancement pack bundled with a short single-player campaign and a title many have already played, all for around 20 dollars after rebate.
Играл в саму халф лайф и во все дополнения. Мне всё понравилось в Blue Shift было интереснее всего играть, когда я только познакомился с халф лайф моя первая часть была 2, и мне было непонятно кто такой Барни Калхуман. Вообщем мне понравилось. Недостатков в графике нет. как для начала 2000ных

It is definitely shorter than Half Life and Half Life Opposing Force, but it is still a good game. I liked it and recommend it.

Pretty good side content for Half-Life, and I liked when I played it. I really whink is a must if you liked the OG Half-Life.

Summary We're back in the Black Mesa compound yet again for the second "official" expansion for 1998's groundbreaking first-person shooter "Half-Life." Take the role of security guard Barney Calhoun who, like Gordon Freeman, is given the task of wiping out every nasty extraterrestrial or misled soldier who crosses his path. (Also includes the fi...
