If you’ve never played the original Black Mesa will probably hold your attention better due to it being prettier and having a few gameplay modernizations.
Most ppl who played the original when it was new will prefer that due to memories or whatnot but Black Mesa is definitely a worthy remake and you won’t really be missing out on anything from the OG. The last chapters of Black Mesa are better (even if a bit long) IMO.
