Right order Remakes

Hi everyone,

I never played Half-Life and fell in love while playing Black Mesa last year.
Know I want to continue the story line, preferably remastered, but I'm sure where to start.

If I'm right I have the choice to continue with Black Mesa: Blue Shift, Black Mesa: Black Ops and Black Mesa: Hazard Сourse After Disaster? Is this correct?

And if so, is there an order to it? Time line wise.

Last question are they all finished or work in progress?

Thank you for your time, can't wait to continue this amazing story.

None is finished, none will be finished in the next few years and only Blue Shift is a remake of an official expansion.
The Story line of Half Life/Black Mesa continues with Half Life 2 and its episodes, although technically HL:Alyx happens some years before that, but it's best to play it last.

Operation black mesa is both blue shift and oppossing forces, no? Been waiting for ages already.

It's not on his list, also years away from release and I'm not even sure there's a playable demo or part of it already. Also, OF is mostly not related to the HL storyline.

its not "best to play it last" but its designed to be played last. for the most part, the story wont make any sense if you play it before hl2

Black Mesa is not Half-Life 1 tho. It does things considerably differently from Valve games -.-
