Singularity™

Игра определенно умеет удивлять даже спустя 16 лет!

A hidden gem. Raven`s last game.

Перш за все - гра відмінно працює на steam deck. Потрібно лише налаштувати резолюцію екрана та змінити конфігурацію контролера. Я грав з gyro. Хоча спочатку було трохи незручно, але за годину швидко звик. Гра пройшла повз масового споживача у свій час, але це не відміняє того, що це дуже крутий коридорний шутер, який має свої унікальні фішки. Ще хотів би зауважити, що субтитри у грі не присутні. Наявна лише озвучка. Тому, якщо не розумієте іноземної мови на слух, то інколи буде важко зрозуміти, що відбувається. Плюсом є те, що лексика тут не складна. Якщо з мовами у вас біда, то російську вам доведеться власноруч встановлювати, бо офіційно в грі вона не присутня. Хоча пам'ятаю на коробці 360 грав російською у свій час. На жаль, досягнення також відсутні. Раджу брати зі знижкою. Гарного дня!

[h1]Review[/h1] Singularity is one of those games that went down as a neat game but did not really get much recognition. Its one of those average shooters except standing out by its setting and a unique gameplay twist. I recently finished the game and I must say that the game definitely stands out but is not really that great either. [u]Gameplay[/u] The game features a standard modern military shooter moveset. The closest you can compare it is the gameplay reminds me of call of duty or resistance. You even see friendlies names highlighted in green right next to them and you follow almost half of the game another person around. Those are the games weakest points, which include door breaches with slow mo and standing and waiting until your comrade walks to the point where they trigger the next script. This Is just boring. But not the whole game is like that. You start being stranded on the games island, seeing remnant of some sort of old, run down sowjet city, being able to interact with various items like projectors, speakers and so on. At some point you get your first weapon and it plays more like a horror shooter at first. The first few moments really got me and the atmosphere was something I could get lost in easily. Until you meet the first companion and later on fight sowjet troops. The main gripe of the game is a glove you acquire where you can have your standard few superpowers, like pushing enemies away. But generally, its used more for puzzles or clearing roadblocks which change up the pace a lot in a good way. The puzzles are creative in using the glove as it can work either to grab items or to age them or make them revert in time. Which creates or collapses bridges or crates for example. On your way you grab also loot that you can use to upgrade or heal yourself. There is a two main weapon limit where I also want to talk about the gameplay. You either fight monsters or soldiers, sometimes both and one or two rare bosses. You can upgrade your weapon, but there is no point in taking any other weapon than focusing on the main assault rifle as the ammo is plentiful and the damage decent. There are some experimental weapons I never found any use for. I played most of the game solely with the fully upgraded assault rifle. If you have a weapon limit it makes no sense to switch your upgraded weapon for another one if the ammo is so plentiful. This makes me think that the design was initially more a horror game but it copied mostly games like call of duty and then ended up in a rather mediocre game that stands out by its surreal setting and time powers. [u]Story[/u] Initially its all about the sowjet union finding a mineral that can be used for a lot of things, like time travel or creating monsters or new weapons. The Island was quickly abandoned due to infighting and accidents. Later on, you accidently change the timeline making it a successful ordeal and your goal is to reset the timeline. Its nothing highly intelligent as there are a lot of potholes. But I found the story immersive, especially with some details in notes like that they fed children the mineral to create monsters. [u]Sound[/u] There is quite an atmospheric soundtrack coupled with neat sfx and a decent score that sometimes switches to generic action music. [u]Graphics[/u] If you like the colour of rust, you feel at home. Due to its setting the game is full of rundown objects, highly detailed broken-down homes, structures and objects. There are so many objects and propaganda around its one of the very immersive games due to its very highly detailed levels. [u]Conclusion/TL;DR[/u] A flawed gem is how to describe this game. It plays and feels like a run of the mill linear action shooter. It sets itself apart by its story, setting and time travel features but has mediocre combat and switches from great slower paced “horror” moments to fighting dozens of soldiers while waiting for the AI to lift a crane. With a better focus on the atmospheric horror setting it could have been an absolute gem but as it stands for me its just slightly entertaining and slightly above mediocre.

Игра на английском языке ло !русского языка нет

super underrated the time travel and the gunplay are great and the but the story is just ok but i think the gameplay and world of the game is enough to play this game 8/10

Посредственная игра по многим аспектам. То ли денег не дали, то ли времени разрабам. Тащит атмосферой и сюжетом(концовками). Мне понравилось.
