This is a near-perfect port of Half-Life's engine, but buggy setup for game controllers takes away one point. When attempting to set up my Steelseries Duo (which works perfectly in everything else) I can't assign axes, or most buttons. This is not a problem with, say, any of the Beloko apps, or anything on GearVR. Only Xash shows this issue for me. And the game really demands a controller, no matter how nice the touch-controls may be. Until this is resolved, I can't give it a top rating!

When it works, it's great. I was able to run a Counter Strike Mod perfectly fine by setting the path to the file. The problem lies in trying to use the app for its intended purpose, to play Half Life. I recently reinstalled the game on steam, and set the path into an xash folder I created in my sdcard directory with valve inside. The game loads the menu fine, meaning the path is correct, but upon starting a New Game on medium difficulty I run into a problem. As the files get "compiled" or "read", I get an Xash Error "There is something wrong with your game data! Please, reinstall." I dont know whether its xash not recognizing certain files, or Steam's update, but its preventing me from using this application.

Make sure files were copied correctly. To ensure, try to pack "valve" folder into archive and unpack this on a device. Sometimes, direct copying cause weird issues.

Good source port, but mapping controls for a gamepad is inexcusably crappy and difficult, it's way too sensitive and you can't even map the B button to anything because it always goes back. Now I've broken the touch controls somehow so I can no longer look. If this was overhauled to where you can configure the controls without going ingame or something I'd be much less harsh about my thoughts on this. In short, this is a terrific port crippled by poorly-implemented gamepad support.
