    There's also Entropy: Zero 2, which is a sequel to Entropy: Zero. A beautifully hand-crafted mod that's also free on steam right now, no spoilers but I definitely recommend giving it a go because its probably the closest thing we'll ever get to a Half life 3 imo. Other than that, great work on the video!

    wanted to make a comment trying to install some of these for someone who rarely install mods
    *Forest Train*- was able to load it and run it
    *Mission Impropable*- the only thing impropable is trying to run this, I installed the full game then the patch and I still get it loading up a white screen and crashes, must be doing something wrong
    *Rebel Surge*- yeah after moving all the files over it ran pretty good (just upload the mapbase separately with the rebel surge folder)
    *Transmissions: Element 120*- this looks great I'm surprised I did not find this on steam mod lists
    *Local Motive: Definitive Edition*- another one that works great after dragging in the file
    *Evacuation* - another one I did not know was on steam (someone needs to update those steam lists of HL2 mods)

    I know you are into deep lore and good worldbuilding, so please check out G String Beta (free Source mod). You can also check out a newer game made by the developer released under the same name (G String), however that is a different version of the story and essentially a alternate timeline/non canon sequel.

    I don't know why you didn't mention Entropy Zero 2, but that mod is so good it almost looks like it was made by Valve themselves. To anyone who might read this, E:Z 2 is basically the closest thing you got to Half Life 3 lol. It's basically HL3 plot from the combine perspective. I suggest anyone who loved HL2 to play those two mods, you can see how the developer evolved between the first and second part. We might even get the third Entropy Zero one day, who knows.
