This was actually pretty cool, maybe fix the bugs so the game won't suck.
There is a big nugget of gold buried in this mod, 9 out 10 because it's just a technical challenge to start it up or deal with the constant crashes and save file corruption.
It's crazy the amount of time Leyder (LEADERgry) spent develop this.
It's very cryptic, but so is life.
I will keep this short
Pros: Good gameplay, extremely well map design, World Building made sense and felt like a well written story.
Feels like A machine for Pigs with better gameplay elements.
Cons: Enemies walking across a section in front of player becomes overused.
TLDR: A solid custom story, it's up there with The Great Work
From the mysterious and talented Neil Manke/Black Widow Games, They Hunger is a creepy, funny, and surreal mod that has stood the test of time...for the most part.
Divided into three episodes, the first one is the strongest, helping set the tempo with challenging but fun gameplay and some solid environmental storytelling. Part 2 is a mixed bag with some tedious combat and mazelike places such as the sewers. Part 3 is where the mod somewhat crumbles with copy-paste setpieces, imbalanced difficulty, and a ****-poor final boss only redeemed by a cathartic ending and intriguing intro in the hospital. Props to anyone who somehow has beaten this mod on hard mode - even normal mode in Part 3 is next-to-impossible at times.
While rough in some spots, They Hunger is a must-play for any HL1 fan - as well as USS Darkstar, Manke's other gem.
The game's dynamic weather and day-night cycles add an extra layer of realism and complexity to the gameplay, creating a truly immersive and dynamic world to explore and survive in.

Community events and challenges in Hunter Moonstrike foster a sense of camaraderie among players, allowing them to come together and tackle common objectives for mutual benefit.
A well-made rendition of the original, which I first played in the Project: Quantum Leap map pack, Caged is a short but fun map with some cool attention to detail and dark humor.
This mod is just creative all-in-all. Everything about it including the gameplay, dinos, and overall quality just really convey the amazing nature of this mod. Good job, Zerer and his team!
This is amazing
So awesome, thank you for making this
Finally some proper ***'n guns! I really wish Quake 1 shotgun and super shotgun were like these. And the chaingun feels even better than it does in Quake 2! And of course you just can't beat that sweet sound and feel of Q2 grenade launcher - perfection. If only this had muzzle flash and compatibility with missions packs/custom maps...
This mod is better than Half-Life: Xen's Horror (aka Half-Life: Dumpsterfire Horror)
Fun game! Love the style, although the maps need more variety. It is mostly just dark castles.
Cool.
While running on the GoldSource engine, this total conversion mod is sure to cause some scares, whether by little pop-up figures, or horrific model edits based on the original Half-Life NPCs, plus the Aphex Twin music is quite the nice touch usage-wise.
[This entry is definitely the best AvP game, atmospheric, lore packed, action packed and content packed. A very well made game that is still super fun to this day, if your an AvP fan you'll love this game.]

-Long campaigns
-Gameplay is very immersive
Cons:
-On higher difficulties the game can be very frustrating.
-Gameplay can be repetitive sometimes.
-levels can feel dragged out sometimes.
