Veteran games developer Raven Software return with Singularity, their first title since last year’s re-imagining of the classic first-person shooter, Wolfenstein.
This sci-fi first-person shooter isn’t the first game to incorporate time manipulation, but it does present a unique way of dealing with it.
You play as crashed U.S. Recon pilot Nate Renko, who lands on an island only to find the Russians have been experimenting with time.
Essentially a traditional shoot ’em up, Renko becomes enhanced with the ability to manipulate time, courtesy of a “Time Glove” that is powered by the strange element E-99.
The weapon can be used to both age and advance environments and enemies, and also to slow and reverse bullets (think Half-Life 2’s Gravity Gun).
Problem-solving and puzzles feature throughout as the plot takes players back and forth between the current day and the 1950s.
Raven rarely make poor games. Shooter fans will be earmarking Singularity for closer inspection.
