I've played through Half Life twice. Once on original release and secondly when it received that big remaster fairly recently. I'm my opinion, it's a fantastic game until you get to Xen and it becomes a bit of a annoying platform fest.

Same. Original and then Orange Box.

I actually like the platforming in the game but the low gravity in Xen does make it annoying. Missed so many jumps, definitely abused quick save

Those same criticisms were there when it was released. I remember reading it on Digitiser.

Xen when you have to jump on those space manta rays to get to the floating island is mega annoying
