Wasn't this a free mod a few years ago? Did they add/improve a lot to the game?

It was but it has changed a lot since then as Valve officially allowed and endorsed it.

Assuming you have played no longer than two hours, just request a refund.

Is this is a exact remake of the original ?
And if so how does it play gameplay mechanic wise to the original?
Thanks

I haven't played it since its first mod release but it pretty much plays like an episode of Half Life 2.. I never played the original Half Life so I can't compare it to the original.
If you're a fan of Half Life / Half Life 2 it's probably worth a punt. But if you're like me and the Half Life 2 ship has long sailed or you never got into the Half Life series it's probably not worth it. The mechanics and graphics are dated and there is little to no story. It's a game of the era. Please correct me if the story / game design has changed since the original mod release.

It's a pretty faithful remake, with changes only for the better to modernise the feel of the game somewhat. I played the free mod all the way through several years ago now, it was in an excellent state already back then and pretty much fully featured with very few bugs that I encountered. Very polished. It looked great and ran great, albeit ending before the game actually finishes on the Xen level. One would assume it's even better now.

You can still get the free version BTW.
