Singularity™

TL;DR: buy on sale only, and expect to negotiate with jank. Soviet Russia BioShock with time-travel. It's... okay. It has some good ideas, and some moments executed well, but I would say these days it's only worth getting on a good sale. It's a dated game. In the case of technical aspects, I couldn't even get the game to launch until I manually ran a PhysX software package hidden in the install folder, in compatibility mode, followed by a PC restart. After all of that, the game finally launches, but it turns out that the game doesn't have a FOV slider, the Mouse Sensitivity slider doesn't do anything, and there are virtually no significant video quality settings to adjust. There are a few strange quirks in keybinds I'm not a fan of, like the Reload key doubling as the Interact key. In the case of design, the visual art is solid, level design is solid, and areas are loaded with a good bit of details. The overall story and voice acting are as campy as anything else from this game's era. The systems of upgrading your weapons and your Time Manipulation Device are very simple, and lack in immersion where BioShock pulls it off better. You just collect nondescript doohickeys and turn them in at the nondescript doohickey machine. I like it, but I don't love it. Worth a playthrough, but only buy it on a solid sale, like $10 USD or less.

Love the gameplay and story. You will need an addon if you want to play it on a widescreen monitor though. I highly recommend the program "flawlesswidescreen" which will easily correct the game and in my opinion making it look soo much better than what tweaking the setting will give you.

Old but gold. I've had this on my list to play since probably not long after it came out. Finally got around to it one random Friday afternoon :D Yes, the FOV is a bit broken in that it's stuck at 65. There's ways around it with a mod but I didn't bother. Also there's a couple points early on where you feel like you're caught out with no ammo...there is always an extra gun laying around! Just look for it. Happened a couple time. I very, very almost gave up after the first half hour or so. Don't, because just after that all the cool stuff starts to happen. Very cool game and worth a play through. Lots of nice ideas all throughout and I'm glad I finally got around to it.
