Is black mesa still a good game even if i have never played half life?
Both Black Mesa and the original are great. I’ve played both almost back to back, and I enjoyed both.
There are things the original does better, and there are things Black Mesa does better. Personally I slightly prefer the original.
Half Life 2 is a masterpiece, and you don’t need to play the original to appreciate it.

Xen just ended up too long, imo. They should have released it as a free DLC and stayed more true to the source.I really felt like the pacing suffered too much as a consequence. Everything up until then gives you the impression that you are heading towards the grand finale and Black Mesa is suddenly like: "Solve some more puzzles for the next 2-3 hours".
I liked it but that really threw me off.

I agree with you. For this reason I prefer the original Xen. It was bad, but at least it was short. Black Mesa’s Xen is mediocre, but way too long. They overdid it.
