Singularity™

Singularity is a good experience for fans of the first person shooting genre, this is a game that has a nice ideas and reasonable execution. It will not set the planet on fire with the mechanics or storytelling, graphically it does have reasonable merit however. -Gameplay Guns shoot, variety is reasonable, human enemies shoot back, push forward and use cover which is all nice, the monsters however have excellent gameplay, the fact that they use throwables which you can steal and throw back is a very fun mechanic. Puzzles with the TMD (The Usp of the game) are not too challenging as it shouldn't be for first person shooter players but it does seem fun to age/de-age objects to solve problems. The leveling system is allright, it does impact the game and give unique buffs but they arent that dynamic the differences aren't big but do give you an Edge, but thats about it. If you do not want to collect the E99 points to spend then this a good thing I suppose. Difficulty is good, While I did die at points at various points sometimes however the stock of health packs is quite generous. Folks who play fps's in general may want to play on Hard as I have. But beware the Bug Enemy is a headache and does too much damage. The strategy is to melee then while in the bubble shield. apart from this everything is great. -Soundtrack It doesn't rock your world but it has its place, It does highlight key moments and provide action scenes with more punch than usual. The ambient tracks fill the void nicely too, -Graphics and Art Even despite this not being Crysis the look of the game is really good, the alt history setting coupled with a semi-nuked world lead it a really spooky ambiance, especially in the beginning. As an FPS I thought it was going to be shooting people all day, but the tone early on with art and and visuals was really attention grabbing and slow at first. -Technical problems I did not experience a single one, granted i have a pc from 2020 Short and fun game!

Singularity is a product of its time. Its levels are linear, its color palette is dull, movement is slooow and you can only carry 2 weapons at a time. It features yet another silent protagonist that has military training but can’t sprint for more than 5 seconds. I also have mixed feelings on the fact that it uses a checkpoint system for saving progress, however the checkpoints are frequent enough that I can overlook it. Luckily, other aspects of the game shine through. Those linear levels I mentioned earlier, they’re much more tense and atmospheric than the open-worlds we’re used to now. Gunplay feels responsive and satisfying, which comes as no surprise considering the game was made by Raven Software, the developers of “Soldier of Fortune”. But the real highlight of this show is the TMD (Time Manipulation Device). Similar to Half Life 2’s Gravity Gun, the TMD sees a lot more usage here, from relying on it during combat encounters to using it for some minor puzzle solving. In the end, my biggest gripe with Singularity is that it’s too short. I found its campaign entertaining enough to wish it lasted longer. If you do try it out, be sure to do something about that narrow FOV. I used “Widescreen Fixer” myself, though I heard “Flawless Widescreen” also works.

Still plays well in 2021. Although it reminds some other games like Bioshock and Wolfenstein, it it really enjoyable, shooting is smooth, atmosphere is involving, some simple riddles to controverse combat are nice too. Maybe it's too linear, but for classic FPS it's not a real problem. So i recommend to try, if you're not scared, because sometimes this game is spooky. Have fun, game has it!

Just buy it, trust me. I grew up playing old school Ravensoft games, and this one...oh let me tell you..it's a bloody gem!

I found Singularity to be very engaging as a story with some very fun weapons to play with, it reminded me more of Dead Space (weapons, upgrade stores) and Wolfenstein: Old Blood (graphics, story-mode) than Bioshock or Half-Life but I can see others seeing it that way too. Well worth playing when purchased on sale. The trick for full enjoyment (and getting your money's worth) is to fully immerse yourself in the story without taking the combat to seriously (enemies are pretty easy and weapons become over powered) and find clever/interesting ways to kill enemies (freezing and fire bombs my favorites) I did find myself looking in every nook and cranny for the power up$ more than I ever have in any other game. Now the bad... Auto-Save(s) and doors closing behind you, yeah that gets aggravating... the game is designed to encourage exploration (for rewards) but as your looking around you can get locked out of an area without the ability to go back and get what you missed and with only a single auto-save sometimes that is permanent. The best way to prevent that is to use the "ping" that is a part of your glove, to show you the path (glowing footsteps) you are supposed to take and make sure you follow that path last thus ensuring you get to explore entire areas before getting locked out. One last thing, the best guide in on GameSpot, search for it and refer to it when needed, your game play will make much more sense with maximum enjoy-ability.
