A Forgotten Gem in the FPS Genre

The first-person shooter genre has seen many memorable titles, from the juggernaut series like Call of Duty and Battlefield to cult classics such as Half-Life and Bioshock. In 2010, Raven Software, a… Read more

Satisfyingly Classic FPS Action, Stymied Somewhat by Failed Attempts to Be Modern

Singularity is a pretty basic " Half Life 2 With a Gimmick " game, but done better than most. The end result is a bunch of cheap setpieces haphazardly tied together by a throwaway the plot about evil… Read more

Time for a change

Bioshock (and System Shock 2 before it) was critically acclaimed for many reasons, chief among them being the incredible story it told, and the way it told it. In an effort to avoid tired expository c… Read more

Almost Brilliant

Great art, good shooting, fun special abilities and weapons, and a smart powers-upgrade system that almost precisely nails the increase in destruction you'll need as the bad guys grow in strength and… Read more

Singularity is an enjoyable game that isn't without it's faults

Singularity is the most recent first person shooter to come for Raven Software , and their experience in genre really shows. That said, even though Singularity tries to bring in some unique elements i… Read more

Decent overall

Starts out like a horror game focusing on sneaky pistol and melee action. Then it becomes totally submersed in the whole time aspect and the Time-Manipulating Device that grants the player force-like… Read more

The FPS pool is a little too deep for this BioShock knockoff.

Playing through Raven’s time-manipulating, quasi-first person shooter was an entirely muddled but enjoyable experience. An odd combination, sure, but genuinely accurate. While it provides a widely con… Read more

An Unknown Gem

Singularity is a lot like other games you've played recently. At the same time, Singularity is nothing like anything you've played before. And it might be one of the best games you play this year. Com… Read more

Combine Half Life and Bioshock and out comes Singularity.

What happens when you take Modern Warfare controls and speed and throw it into the Half Life puzzle physics/scheme and tell a story with the nuance Bioshock? You get Singularity, a time bending, puzzl… Read more

Singularity Review: Turn back the clock

Almost a good idea...

I got singularity two because it looked like a fun little shooter and I had the extra money... well I'm 50$ lighter and not so happy about it. It had some good mechanics... had they been used right it… Read more

BioShock in SOVIET RUSSIA?! Actually a good idea!

Singularity starts somewhat oddly, seeming like a very hum-drum run-of-the-mill first person shooter, using a similar (if not the same) engine from BioShock . The game starts out with a "routine" fly-… Read more

Solid effort

Raven has learned how to make solid shooters, and have had a lot of good experience in making some great games. SIngularity is no exception, and is a fun story to get into to blow some shit up. The st… Read more

Below Average

The gameplay isn't exactly groundbreaking, and the graphics aren't that great either. The combat gets tiresome after a while, and the homages the game creates, to titles such as Bioshock, Timeshift, a… Read more

There is undeniable great fun to be had in Singularity

A Timey Wimey Adventure

A Far From Singular FPS

Why do spouses cheat on each other? Because there's nothing fun about the same ol' thing, and that rule holds true throughout the single player campaign of Singularity. But I'm getting ahead of myself… Read more

Solid FPS from Raven

My first impression of this game, when it was unveiled, was it looked to be just another Quake 4 or Wolfenstein–but after playing for a few hours I was pleased to realize that it was a bit more. The g… Read more

My Review of Singularity

first of Singularity is an FPS with a time bending gimmick that plays a very heavy role in the game. It also heavily reminds me of Half-Life Bioshock and Dead Space. So let's get this started. First o… Read more
