The cult traditional Half-Life 2 mod sequence Entropy: Zero has one other entry within the works, and talking as a fan of Thief, Deus Ex, and all issues immersive sim, Entropy: Zero 2 – Progenitors stands out as the most enjoyable one but.
Entropy: Zero has at all times introduced the dangerous guys’ aspect of issues in Half-Life, however Progenitors trades the primary two episodes’ customary Mix trooper for an excellent sneaky murderer kind—she strikes me as a riff on the black ops ninjas from Half-Life 1.
Progenitors takes place an indeterminate period of time after the Seven Hour Conflict the place the Mix took over the Earth, and our murderer protagonist is charged with taking out the rogue Progenitor from which the Mix’s troopers had been first cloned or in any other case derived (or one thing). If Mr. P seems to be Adrian Shephard from Opposing Power, I am going to take into consideration consuming my shoe.
It is a neat tackle the Half-Life lore bolstered by some nice visible route. The entire Entropies: Zero have finished a terrific job of mixing and homaging varied eras of Half-Life—Zero 2 befell in an Aperture Science facility and paired you with a snarky turret companion—and Progenitors appears to be turning its gaze towards Opposing Power. I am significantly keen on the evil Mix United Nations brand—it is giving the darkish Nazi future gags from MachineGames’ Wolfensteins.
As for gameplay, developer Blixibon has been sharing clips of recent weapons and mechanics on YouTube, and Progenitors appears extremely bold—virtually an immersive sim, or no less than a shooter-immsim hybrid like Darkish Messiah or the aforementioned neo-Wolfensteins. Blixibon’s newest clip reveals a participant pickpocketing an enemy soldier then throwing a beer bottle to distract him. We’ve got Dishonored 3 at dwelling, god bless it.

Progenitors doesn’t have an estimated launch date, and the newest weblog publish on its ModDB web page alludes to growth difficulties and artistic burnout on the a part of some staff members.
Nevertheless it sounds just like the worst of it’s behind them, and that is an extremely thrilling venture. You’ll be able to sustain with Entropy: Zero 2 – Progenitors through its ModDB web page and Blixibon’s YouTube channel.
