It's Half Life 2 but on Unreal Engine with deferred moderne issues (aka absence of MSAA, baked lightning and every optimized rendering who give every Source 1 and Source 2 performances and beauty graphics).

The Idea is here but wasting by bad usage of modern rendering and violation of some agreements.

Source is inadequate for this level of graphical fidelity. Black Mesa is a great example of Source done wrong in terms of CPU budget.

UE5 is a mixed bag and this game definitely hasn't been optimised well, as other UE5 games tend to perform better with similar settings. But maybe the engine is indeed to blame.

The project was greenlit by Valve to use the Half-Life IP, so that isn't an issue.
