Decent Game for ~$10

This is a decent FPS with a strong Bioshock influence and good story line and good atmospheric sound/music. That said this is clearly a console port as there's zero save ability in the game which is very frustrating when you're a gamer like me who has kids and sometimes needs to stop randomly. It's console roots also shine through when you see how much on rails the entire game is, see an interesting nook you want to explore? Can't do it because the console version put an invisible wall there. You also can't backtrack since every "checkpoint" pretty much closes off the area you just came from. There is also zero fall damage since you're only allowed to climb on top of the parts they want you to, and jump down from places they want you to. The nice game play and time mechanics are definitely worth a look, but only when this title is discounted.

Entertaining game.

More great stuff from Raven here, A bit too linear tho..you can't back track for allmost annything,.door's closing behind ya to a point where it get's a bit silly.. And if the game just don't start, you might need the legacy PhysX drivers.. eg. PhysX-9.12.1031-SystemSoftware-Legacy. (wich don't replace you'r current driver)

Derivative but great fun

Brilliant game which blends the best features of Bioshock, Half Life and Doom with a story like something out of Red Alert 2. Its a great time-twisting thrill ride with impressive visuals that will stay with you afterwards. Recommend.

Solid From Top to Bottom

Singularity isn’t a game that blew my mind by introducing a new feature or idea but it was very polished and was enjoyable. The weapons all felt fun to use and there was a good amount of upgrades to get for them. The TMD device was alright to use but I didn’t find a real reason to use it and would have preferred having the knife for a melee option as it didn’t need ammo to use and it got replaced by the TMD whether you like it or not. There were some decent environmental combat options such as cryo tanks and explosive barrels. The story itself was decent but got a little convoluted near the end. I will say that I was surprised to have three options to fork the story at the end, especially one of the options that didn’t think it would let me do. I also liked finding audio recordings and secret messages on the walls to add back story and expand on plot points. The graphics are much like the game play in that nothing wowed me for the time period it was released at but nothing was below average or an eye sore either. It was all simply good and serviceable. One part I did really like was the weapon damage on enemies, I thought the bullet impacts were very well done. The game wasn’t overly difficult on normal outside of one fight. The hard option may have been more of a challenge but I have a rule against picking the hardest difficulty if you can’t move it down during the game. I played Singularity on Linux using Wine and DXVK. It never crashed and I didn’t notice any bugs or glitches. There are four graphics options and a v-sync toggle. Alt-Tab works. The game uses checkpoint saves, they’re pretty well spaced. One thing I didn’t like was that in order to quit the game you must quit to the main menu; back out to the first screen; choose quit and confirm it. I didn’t try to Alt-F4 so that may have been a quicker option but regardless it’s a convoluted process to exit the game. I couldn’t measure the frame rate while I played but I didn’t feel any lag spikes at all.

The way FPS games used to be made. Great

I bought this game years ago for PC on DVD. Now that I see it on sale on GoG, I bought it again. I remember this game vividly. It was developed during a time when story mattered as much as the gameplay. It holds up well after all these years. I look forward to playing it again. If these things matter to you, then buy and play it. One of my favorite all time FPS games.
