A good rule of thumb is that if you have to scroll through an entry, it's too long.

Having read the entry, though, I think it's mostly fine. I would just cut down on the mentions of the gameplay mechanics, since that's not what gives a game Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy.

For example, the first two sentences in the bullet-point about the first mod are mostly about ways that it's not dark and oppressive. They also mention how it's mechanically similar to the original Half-Life, which is irrelevant.

There's also the issue of Example Indentation in Trope Lists that needs some work.

The first bullet should be something

  • "Halfquake"

Or

With everything else being under a second level sub-bullet, including the spinoff entry, in my opinion

Ah, makes sense. I attempted to make the first bullet the shared example, the second level the individual parts, and put the spinoff in a separate bullet, since despite the shared universe, it'd technically be a different game, which probably does seem a little esoteric.
