Singularity
Spielesammlung
Über das Spiel
Und als ob das noch nicht genug wäre, scheinen auch die Bewohner nebst Tier- und Pflanzenwelt der Insel durch und durch feindselig. Da ist doch beruhigend, dass man seinen Gegnern mit einem stattlichen Arsenal durchschlagskräftiger Waffen begegnen kann. Der absolute Trumpf im Fundus ist aber ein rätselhaftes Artefakt namens „Zeitmanipulierer“, mit dem der Spieler Objekte nicht nur nach Belieben altern lassen oder verjüngen, sondern auch die Schwerkraft aufheben kann.
Das ist auch im gleichermaßen fesselnden Multiplayer-Modus hilfreich: Darin können mehrere Spieler ein Team bilden, in dem jedes Mitglied mit individuellen Fähigkeiten ausgestattet ist. Gemeinsam gilt es dann, die Kreaturen zu stoppen, die auf Katorga-12 ihr Unwesen treiben.

Das Thema Zeitreise ist gut im Gameplay integriert und die Story ist recht interessant - erfindet das Genre jedoch nicht neu.
Ich habe die Umgebung recht ausgiebig erkundet und konnte das Spiel in 9 Stunden durchspielen.
Kann das Spiel uneingeschränkt empfehlen!

It's a relatively linear game, though of course you have rooms to explore for ammo, logs, and whatnot here and there. And there's also some puzzles occasionally which involve the usage of your powers in the game.
Your powers are primarily time-based, though you do get a gravity-related one, and the focus of the game is on multiple realities (or splits in time). Throughout the game, you get the ability to age objects (or even enemies), or revert them into a younger/more stable state, as well as lift objects in the air, send blasts of energy, slow things within a defined space, and move things between dimensions.
You even get some cool weaponry with the sci-fi high-tech setting of the game, such as a rifle which lets you control the bullet as it flies through the air. You can readjust it as it moves in slow-motion and lead it right into enemies for instant kills (at least for most of them).
The story of the game starts when you are part of a team investigating an island, once owned by the Soviet Union, that generates a large enough electromagnetic pulse to damage some American military technology. Upon the island, you find secret labs and eventually get into the world of time manipulation. The island is very dark and creepy, as you encounter bizarre distorted creatures which seem to have been humans in the past, and once you get some of the time manipulation powers, you end up making portals between your present timeline and the 1950s, thereby causes things to go awry.
While Singularity is relatively short, I find its gameplay as a shooter very fun, and I think the general setting and story setup is interesting. Some of the story scenes are just great, and you can definitely feel tension as the conflicts arise. All in all, it's a little-known game that is definitely worth a try.

could ever pass this game up. Game is about 7 hours long. Good story. Fun weapons. Only thing that's bad about this game is that there is no New Game Plus. It was almost perfect for me, but just that.

You enter on a mission with a party of soldiers, to uncover the secrets of an island overtaken by Russian government. You will quickly uncover secrets of the island, including an element native to the land. An element that powers time travel and time manipulation, among other devices and tools. While time manipulation may seem like a problem in and of itself, it also caused mutations exacerbated by excessive experiment. You'll experience unintentional time travel, moments of schizophrenia, and moments that could only be described as a mixture of science-fiction and the paranormal. Your survival seems like the major concern, but you'll soon learn that there are lives that must be saved, and you may be the only person to stop it, due to being the wielder of the Time Manipulation Device (TMD) strapped to your wrist. As you embark on this mission, you'll need to explore for secret collectibles and hidden upgrades for your weapons and TMD.
If you think things can't get any crazier, then you'll just have to play it for yourself, and see what craziness this game has to offer, in one of Raven Software's wildest, and most intense games.

Gunplay is decent, nothing outstanding.
The time control mechanics are a bit gimmicky.
Graphics options are pretty barebones. FoV can only be modified through third-party tools and is otherwise locked to 65. FPS is limited to 120 and a lot of graphical effects aren't in the options menu.
Characters are boring and uninteresting.
The audio-logs scattered around the game are really out of place and seem like a forced way of explaining environmental storytelling or adding pointless details to the plot.
I was at least pleasantly surprised by the endings. They start off as a generic CoD-style quicktime event where you gotta shoot the bad guy, but then you get an interesting choice between 3 endings. The good ending was pretty forced, but the other 2 were pretty nice.

Pro
-Gameplay (controls are tight weapons choice is decent)
-TMD (you will find out as you play the game)
-Horror elements to the story
-Story is good
-Graphics Still look solid even today (look at the water effects on the opening scene)
-Sound (weapons are punchy and feel like they have the appropriate amount of kick good voice acting)
-Unique setting of late 50's early 60's cold war
Cons
-Short ( 6 to 7 hours maybe)
-NOT ENOUGH TMD!
Overall there really isnt to much to complain about game wise other than the games length everything is really solid 8/10. I will say buy this game if you want to remind Activision that people will buy GOOD single player games.

What's particularly nice with older games like this is the shooting is much more accurate than most modern shooters that tend to do odd things with your aim.

The closest thing that I can compare this game to is Bioshock, Russian-style. Instead of dealing with slugs and little girls, you're dealing with time-tech. That being said, there are moments where I feel like I'm briefly in Resident Evil, or the new Doom, and while this certainly does not stand up to the new latter game (in regards to pacing at least), it's a passion-child of it's makers. There are so many moments that I can see that the developers put these little touches on things that make me laugh and grin, like when I jumped on top of an old movie projector and the rotating wheel actually kicked me off of it.
Aside from weird geometry issues, there are only two complaints: ammo and health are OVERLY abundant. I mean, I'm literally swimming in the stuff. And secondly, when you encounter the gun upgrader, you can swap out your weapons for whichever ones you prefer - however, this is not made clear very well.
Those two things aside, I will say that this is a game that is still fantastic, provided that you want an interesting single player experience, enjoy reading notes and listening to the audio cassettes that people decided to lug around and leave behind when they inevitably died.

Singularity had a rough development. After two years, the game was barely functional, and Activision gave them an ultimatum. They had 10 months to finish and ship the game, or else it would be cancelled. So the devs feverishly worked to cobble what they could into a game and push it out the door. The game had next to no marketing, bombed in sales, but they hit the deadline, and wouldn't ya know it, managed to turn out a pretty fun game. It's fairly standard in most areas, and derivative in parts (Keith Fuller himself stated in a Polygon interview that they copied Bioshock's audio logs simply because it was an easy, quick way to partially salvage the story). But the gameplay itself is solid and the concepts are neat.
As an American soldier, you're sent on a covert mission to a Russian island and quickly find yourself involved in some time shenanigans, where you'll bounce back and forth between Soviet Russia in the 50s and a now-altered present where Soviet Russia rules the world. Alongside more standard weapons, you also have a device that lets you manipulate time. It's pretty similar to Half Life 2's gravity gun, but it's a bit more integral to combat. You can create pockets where time is slowed down, age enemies into dust, slow down enemies that are phasing in and out of time, and more. And then there's my favorite weapon, the Seeker Rifle. It's an ordinary looking rifle that shoots explosive rounds, but when you aim down the sights you're able to control the bullet's trajectory. It operates the exact same way the remote-controlled Batarang does in the Batman Arkham games, except instead of just hitting switches you steer a bullet into someone's face and watch their head explode. Good times.
Sadly, outside of combat and some basic puzzles, the time manipulation is largely sidelined. Raven Software just flat out didn't have the time (ironic, innit?) to implement most of what they wanted to. Still though, it's a fun shooter, and well worth playing if you're a fan of Raven Software. It is fairly short though, so you may want to wait for a sale before you pick it up.

Its a shame a sequel was never made as this game is a really solid fps and made by Raven...but Activision is gonna be Activision.
Game worked fine, no crashes. And it still looks fantastic. Works good with a controller too.

But it *does* demonstrate the potential of game developers s and how it is being hindered by Electronic Arts.
In short: Raven Software was/is being capable of producing works of art - sadly, EA never gave them a proper chance. They have been relegated to Call-of-Duty duty ever since. A massive waste of potential, if you're asking me.
So, yeah - SINGULARITY is *definitely worth a buy. It may be 10 years old at the time of this review, but it does hold up quite well. Lacks a bit of polish, but a true gamer won't be hindered by that.

I like time travel, story and setting are kinda cool.
Even though there's plenty of interesting mechanics and abilities, the gameplay just feels dull.

The graphics are not even that outdated and look solid even on my shit pc, however it took a while to get used to using R to pick up stuff. The controls are smooth and not at all wonky concidering the age of the game.
If you like the games I mentioned before you are going to enjoy this gem of a game. I highly recommend anyone to try it!

There is a good game in there somewhere but the more I play the more broken the game becomes. For instance the game has now lost all sound and I haven't found a guide to fix it that works for me.
