Singularity™

Such a good game, more people need to experience this game. a Remake would be awesome!

Singularity is often called a “forgotten gem.” Released back in 2010, it still holds up today thanks to its originality and bold mix of genres. It’s a first-person shooter with a strong atmosphere, where science fiction collides with alternate history. The game asks: “What if time could be rewritten?” — and lets you feel the consequences of that question firsthand. Pros: ✔Original concept of time manipulation — the TMD (Time Manipulation Device) allows you to age, rejuvenate, or freeze objects and enemies, creating unique gameplay scenarios. ✔Atmosphere and story — an alternate history tied to Soviet experiments and time paradoxes that keeps you engaged until the very end. ✔Gameplay variety — combines elements of shooter, survival horror, and puzzles. ✔Diverse locations — from abandoned Soviet labs to warped, time-distorted environments. ✔Combat system — firearms mixed with creative TMD mechanics add freshness to encounters. ✔Music and sound design — eerie, immersive, and perfectly fitting. Cons: ➖Linearity — despite great mechanics, levels are still corridor-based. ➖Story presentation — some plot points feel underdeveloped, leaving you wanting more depth. ➖Enemy AI — occasionally too simple and predictable. ➖No sequel — the story left room for growth, but the series ended after this single entry. Conclusion: Singularity could have been a classic alongside BioShock and Half-Life, but instead it became an underrated treasure. It shines with its unique time-manipulation mechanics, moody atmosphere, and memorable setting. Yes, you’ll notice its age today, but the originality and story still make it worth playing. For fans of alternate history and experimental gameplay, this is truly a hidden gem. Rating: 8/10 — not quite a masterpiece, but a special game that leaves lasting memories. Fun Facts: Developed by Raven Software, best known for Heretic, Hexen, and Soldier of Fortune. The time-manipulation mechanics had more ambitious prototypes, but some features were cut before release. Often described as a blend of Half-Life and BioShock. Despite positive reviews, it didn’t sell well enough to warrant a sequel. Considered by some to be an early inspiration for later “time manipulation” games.

Remembered liking it way back in '10, picked it up cheap for $10. Loved playing it again! <3

Singularity est une aventure temporelle qui a bien résisté au temps ! Souvent comparé à BioShock, le jeu va bien plus loin que cette possible inspiration selon moi en proposant un beau dosage entre ses ambitions narratives réussies et une partie action efficace, l'aventure tourne autour d'une anomalie temporelle que le joueur pourra par la suite utiliser un dérivé via un gant spécial pour progresser sur l'île, on obtient pas des pouvoirs temporels démesurés mais suffisants pour que ça soit une vraie valeur ajoutée au gameplay. L'histoire est bien menée et la structure de l'ensemble donne envie de toujours poursuivre la découverte, j'ai redécouvert ce sentiment en le relançant récemment et ça fonctionne toujours aussi bien sur moi tellement ça reste accrocheur et agréable à jouer. Le titre est sorti il y a plus de 15 ans mais il fonctionne vraiment bien sur ma machine bien plus récente, les options graphiques sont succinctes mais ça très agréable à regarder avec sa bonne technique de l'époque, son ambiance est vraiment maîtrisée, tout comme sa direction artistique globale et les étranges créatures qu'on va croisé, ça participe à rendre le tout marquant. La présence de différentes fins aide également le tout à avoir une bonne rejouabilité, ce qui est une excellente chose car je me vois très bien le refaire entièrement une nouvelle fois tellement j'aime ce jeu.

Raven Software insieme ad Activision ci ha regalato questa piccola perla che non andrebbe dimentica. Un piccolo cult degli FPS che all'epoca della sua uscita fu abbastanza rivoluzionario con la tipologia di gameplay che offriva e l'arma unica CMT con la quale avanziamo nel gioco. La possibilità anche di vedere 3 finali facilmente sbloccabili rende i risvolti della storia a vostro gusto. Non dimenticatevi di Singularity, davvero un gran gioco!

BEST GAME EVER INCLUDING WOLFENSTEIN 2009! PLEASE RAVEN SOFTWARE COME BACK FROM THE SLAVERY OF ACTIVISION: YOU WERE THE BEST!!! WE ALL LOVE YOU <3 10/10

A mediocre wanna-be Half-Life/CoD without any compelling characters or level design. The time abilities are a gimmick at best and the endings are all unsatisfying and make no sense.
