Unofficial Half-Life Sequel: Refraction Review
Screenshots
Refraction, a free fan-made Half-Life game by Buzzsaw Game Studios, immerses players in a post-war world against the Combine. Follow Tealbug, a robot protagonist, as he combats unexpected attackers in this unofficial sequel to Episode Three. The game offers a fresh take on the Half-Life universe, with new storylines and robot adversaries, but falls short in technical execution.
Refraction integrates seamlessly with the Half-Life lore, introducing a compelling narrative and diverse character cast. However, the game's visuals suffer from blocky animations, asset loading issues, and inconsistent movements, impacting the overall gameplay experience. Despite its flaws, Refraction presents a unique perspective on the Half-Life series, appealing to fans seeking a different storyline.
