Is Half-Life Opposing Force still known to current gamers, or is this a side game that's fallen through the cracks. (lemmy.world)

This game always fascinated me as a companion piece to Half-Life. It cemented some things in the HL lore that have just become accepted, while at the same time existing in Schrodinger's canon.

I'm considering giving it another playthrough and taking notes. How many people have actually played it? How many people who weren't gaming when it released have actually played? Is there any interest in it?

Dude play Black Mesa! It's a modern remake of the original Half Life but with a new and improved Xen at the end. I played Opposing Force and Blue Shift back in the day but barely remember them. I'd love to replay those games.

Edit: https://store.steampowered.com/app/362890/Black_Mesa/ It's on sale for $5 right now. Also it runs decently in Linux, when I played it would crash every 20 minutes or so in some sections, I think there is/was a memory leak or something.
