Project Lambda is an incredibly detailed remake of the first chapter of Half-Life, which recreates that famous Black Mesa tram ride in glorious Unreal Engine 4.
There can be few intro scenes as iconic as the one where you take a tram ride through the sprawling Black Mesa facility in the original Half Life game.
Half Life was famously remade/re imagined in the Source engine a few years ago in Black Mesa, but even in that version looked a little dated.
Project Lambda brings a whole new level of detail to the facility, with lush Unreal Engine 4 powered visuals and lots of great little touches.
Unfortunately the Project Lambda devs aren’t planning on recreating the full Half-Life game as they don’t have the manpower, so the first chapter is likely to be all that we get (there’s a small possibility of them recreating chapter 2 but definitely no more than that).
It really does look incredible though and it’s a joy to have an excuse to experience that iconic tram ride again.
Highly recommended.
