yeah i really hate half life 1 mechanics, this was horrible
cute little demo content. short and sweet, definitely got me in the half-life itch again
About a chapter's worth of new content. Not amazing, but it scratches that little Half-Life itch
ótimo
Feels like it had a deeper influence on the GoldSrc mod scene than the full game did.
Played via the 25th Anniversary Update for Half-Life, which added Uplink as a playable chapter without the use of mods.
Not a lot to say about Half-Life: Uplink, that doesn't mean that it's bad but simply put, it's an abridged version of the action you see in the actual game, and for a demo it works marvels. As I said about the later on demo of the same style for Half-Life 2, I like that these demos ultimately gave you a fully-fledged piece of the GoldSrc engine to mess around with, and since there's no actual cut content you can experience what Half-Life has to offer but in a bite-sized more enclosed manner as a nice little treat to get accustomed to how the movement, gunplay and enemies work before jumping into the actual game.

Eh, it's fine I guess. Pretty much just a demo that uses some new content that may or may not have been cut from the final game, so its neat for that.
Good to have this back with the 25th anniversary of Half Life. Good demo showcasing what the game is all about.
Eu sabia que essa demo existia e que não era coisa da minha cabeça
uplink is a solid vertical slice of Half-Life. I don't think it contains the magic of the game, but the it covers quite a bit of the gameplay in a very short amount of time. Half-Life fans should check it out, and someone interested in the first game should play it as a feeler instead of waiting on a train for 5 minutes.

Es básicamente un nivel del Half-Life original, dura 20 minutitos y está entretenido como acompañamiento para los que nos gusta el juego base.
Nessa sexta-feira, Half-Life, a minha série de FPS favorita, completou 25 anos. Em uma atualização especial comemorativa do aniversário, a Valve disponibilizou a demo do jogo original, Uplink, novamente.
Em um nível de 20-30 minutos, a desenvolvedora consegue encapsular toda a natureza emergente, os níveis elaborados que possibilitam exploração tanto geográfica quanto de gameplay por parte do jogador e um senso de constante tensão que o jogo original trabalha.
Como é curto, recomendo bastante que joguem, mas somente depois de completar a campanha oficial do primeiro jogo (e talvez as expansões Opposing Force e Blue Shift, mas aí acho que vai de cada um)

Honestly a shame that it took this long for Uplink to be readily accessible on Steam. This 20-minute slice perfectly encapsulates everything good (and bad!) about the original Half-Life, but as a kid who dug through Cuttng Room Floor pages looking at all the unused content (Hello, Mr. Friendly), I'm just happy that this is readily accessible to more people. By 1999 you didn't have to "sell" Half-Life to people anymore, so its even crazier this goes as hard as it does. Now give us that E3 Half-Life 2 tech demo so I can be like those guys who oogled at the barrel physics.
A great short demo of Half Life.
Valve's vertical slice demo plays to all the strengths of Half-Life, without spoiling any of that game's surprises, and leaves you needing more. Even their cut content runs circles around their contemporaries.
it's more Half-Life!
Good demo. Finished in 30 minutes though.
Прикольное демо, которое добавили в обновлении на юбилей оригинальной игры.
Kinda neat ig
I should probably be studying
Edit: I passed the exam :D

Half-Life: Uplink is a scraped chapter that was repurposed as a special Demo of the game, it's really straightforward and only takes 20 minutes to finish, you might as well try it out with how short it is and it was finally ported to the Steam version of Half-Life with its 25th-anniversary update.
There's not much reason to rate this game as it has no reason to exist as a standalone game.

Very nice little demo of what's to come. Not much else to say on it other then that.
greg coomercels stay winning
This game is truly fantastic
it's an extra twenty minutes of Half-Life and it comes with the steam version now so hey
Just a genuinely good half life level.
It's cool asf to see Valve go all out with this anniversary
Played this with the 25th Anniversary Update. A good reminder when demos back then used to be this fun. Glad its finally back in the main game.
