Singularity: An Imperfect, Hidden Gem

The best way to describe this game in my opinion is as “an imperfect, hidden gem”.

The tl:dr is that the game is a fairly good (certainly above average) First Person Shooter, and I would definitely recommend this for fans of the FPS genre and for people who like to play around with futuristic gimmicks (like the Nanosuit in Crysis, the Plasmids in Bioshock, or in this case the Time Manipulation Device, which is the main selling point of this game) although the game has some issues (see below).

While it’s reminiscent of many other games, Singularity is greater than the sum of its oft-borrowed parts. The time & space manipulation in puzzle solving has a Portal-esque feel to it, the gunplay and sci-fi elements are evocative of the Half-Life series, and the alternate reality’s sprawling landscapes filled with intricate details and satirical propaganda clearly show that BioShock rubbed off on the developers. In fact, the Time Manipulation Device (TMD) employed by the game is essentially a Plasmid from BioShock – equipped on your hand, you’ll use it to do things like reverse or speed up the age of items and enemies to bring variety to combat and navigate the devastated, apocalyptic terrain.

Quite a neat little adventure thing, with ample help for the player if you risk getting stuck (as I often am, not being the greatest fan of the genre)

TimeShift™

TimeShift™

Roughly ten to eleven years ago, TimeShift was finally launched on the seventh generation of consoles and Windows PC. The game was originally a title of the classic Xbox, but eventually was delayed and appeared later for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. TimeShift is part of a small group of games that back when new systems were popular, they tried to introduce something new to the table in terms of technology, and not just graphics. TimeShift delivered just that, a unique first-person-shooter experience where players have the ability to manipulate time, slowing it down, stoping, or even rewinding it completely.

Two Coins

Two Coins

Two Coins is a time-traveling action adventure. You play as Richard, a guy with a completely normal life. He finds a magazine about forests and wilderness at work and is inspired to go on a forest trip.

“Richard walks for a while before it gets dark. Suddenly he falls into a cave and faints. When he wakes up he is confused and trying to find his way home again. Things seem different now. Very different.”

This is a single-player game where you can switch between first person or third person perspective. Survive by hunting, eating and drinking. Do tasks for people, contribute to the village, and even build your own temporary home. Perhaps the most important thing is to try to find the way back to the present again. If it’s even possible?

The Silent Age

The Silent Age

“The Silent Age” is a simple point & click adventure game. You are Joseph (called “Joe”), a janitor in a big research company. You will get to see more and more strange traces of yet unknown events in your everyday job until you meet the mortally wounded inventor of a - time machine! As the last and only trustful person ending up in his life you are given the task to prevent a catastrophy - and travel back and forth in time.

Yeah, sounds a bit like “Day of the Tentacle”, doesn’t it? But thankfully it doesn’t feel like a pure clone of this adventure classic.

There are theories that suggest that time travel is indeed possible. They are only theories and there are still many open questions regarding what exactly would happen if certain time travel scenarios were realized such as the grandfather paradox. It is precisely those mysteries and unknowns that make time travel so fascinating. It’s great to know the answers, but it also makes things less exciting. That’s just human nature. And that’s why the premise of The Silent Age is so interesting, especially since it explores time travel both in its narrative and gameplay.

All Walls Must Fall - A Tech-Noir Tactics Game

All Walls Must Fall - A Tech-Noir Tactics Game

A great game that just needs a bit more polish. If you liked xcom or syndicate (old school) youll probably love this game.

This game has a few levels to it.

The first level is a great shooter/ and minimal rogue or semi-RPG with time travel mechanics. Some of the firefights can be intense and complex strategizing your twisting of time between hailstorms of bullets allowing one man to wipe out an army.

Its not terribly deep on the surface likly because they didnt get the funds to make the game its full intended length (west germany as well as east germany). I do not regret any time spent, or not spent in this game. (yes its a bad joke since at the time of writing this I have the world record of completing the entire game in 1 minute 29 seconds… time travel accounted for=).

A masterpiece ruined by retard downvoters, small minded casual homophobic cry babies.

I got this game during early access, did a first run but messed the first 3 tutorial missions,

earning low money and getting stuck on harder missions because with low money you can’t upgrade much.

Now that the game is published I did a serious run, nailed the tutorial missions and also unticking the ‘decision timer’ option,

which allows you to think about each move without losing time (time = money).

After those 3 missions you get access to the map, where you can select your next mission.
