I believe it does its job well, implementing a vision for Half-Life in a modern engine, with pretty well-made assets and fun game play.

It's a proper remake alright and Xen part is a complete reimagining of the original levels. Xen does drag on a bit longer than I'd like but I can't really hold that against the game.
I'm a big fan of Crowbar Collective's vision of Xen, and while yeah its pretty long, it does make it more memorable than the original Xen imo
I got way more story from CC's Xen, had a way clearer idea of what was actually happening and what history Black Mesa had with the place. It was definitely long, and the finale vs. Nihilanth was somehow even more confusing than the original, but I at least had a much better idea of what I was actually doing there.
