15 Essential Half-Life 2 Mods You MUST Play

6. Estranged

After a violent storm wrecks his ship, a lone fisherman is left stranded on a mysterious island. Unfortunately, the island's inhabitants are less than helpful and seem to be harbouring a dark secret.

Estranged is a well-paced, methodical adventure where exploration and narrative take centre stage. The story unfolds slowly and surely as you uncover clues and expose what's really happening on the island.

The island itself is beautiful, moody and intensely detailed which helps to create a believable environment that you'll want to explore. The people you meet along the way are eccentric, hostile and occasionally crazed, adding to the intrigue of the story.

Two acts of this excellent mod are now available and with Act II recently leaving Early Access on Steam, now's the time to dive in. If you can, pick up the paid version and support the team's hard work.
