Its gameplay consists of diverse combat, exploration and puzzles.
Named Game of the Year by over 50 publications, Valve's debut title blends action and adventure with award-winning technology to create a frighteningly realistic world where players must think to survive. Also includes an exciting multiplayer mode that allows you to play against friends and enemies around the world.

Where to get it
Release, studio and platform data from IGDB. Store links go to the sellers, not to us. We do not sell games and we do not host files.

Sorted, filterable and paged. Every link goes to the author’s own download.
- Mods5.8kA mod changes the game itself. It needs something to load it, it may need other mods first, and it only works on the versions its author built it for.
- resource packs3.4kA resource pack replaces the textures, sounds, models and language files the game ships with. It changes nothing about the rules, so it is safe on a vanilla server.
- Frameworks2A framework is modding infrastructure rather than content: an API, injector or utility that other mods run on top of, or that helps you install, patch or manage them.

Why Half-Life mods break
A mod is compiled against one version of a game. When the game updates, anything that reached into the parts that moved stops working, and it usually stops working silently rather than with a message that explains itself.
That is what the table above counts. It is not a guess: each row is a mod the community has reported as broken by that specific release. The number is a fair measure of how disruptive an update was, and it is the reason people delay updating a game they have modded heavily.
Common questions
Does IndexGG host Half-Life mods?
No, and it never will. Every download link points at the author's own page on Nexus, GitHub, CurseForge or wherever they published it. We index the ecosystem; the files stay with the people who made them.
Where does the compatibility data come from?
From the communities that maintain it in the open, not from guesswork. Each claim carries how it is known, so a reported breakage is never presented as though the author said it.
Why is a mod listed as broken when it works for me?
Compatibility depends on your exact game version and the rest of your load order. A mod marked as broken in one release may work fine on an older one, which is exactly why the version is recorded next to the claim rather than a bare yes or no.
