COD inspired clunky scriptfest

User Rating: 4 | Singularity PC
I had seen somewhere someone recommending this for old-school gamers. + all the good reviews it had gotten and it's by Raven, so i thought i should get it. Turns out, only good thing about this is, that i only spent 7.95€ on it.

At first there was this introduction to the game and i thought this might be interesting game but boy was i wrong. After awhile of playing, it started to occur to me. (Insert checkmarks here) Doors closing behind me, annoying qte's, regenerating health, ironsights, enemies respawning, 2 weaponlimit, very linear levels and no possibility to really explore (under strict developer control), massive amount of scripted events, killing enemies feels dull and does not give anykind of satisfaction, boring and annoying gameplay feel with bad sprint function. Yes, they are all here.

Still, i kept playing the game. I was yet to have that magic hand, with what you can manipulate time. So i thought "maybe this will change a bit when i have it". Well, it did not. (SPOILER) Played to that boss where he throws barrels and you catch em and shoot him in the chest. This is where i had enough of the unbelievably bad COD gameplay.
I couldn't take one minute more of that bad sprinting and clunky gameplay. If only Raven Software were given free hands making this. Instead under strict control of Activision, to make another cash in. New game that is exactly like Call of Duty (but you could say this is Call of Duty since every COD requirements checks.)

This game has an upgrade system and collectable health. Thing is, i don't really see the point of having collectable health, since later in the game, game transfers into regenerating health.

Enviroment is your typical Gears of War boring lifeless dark and grey colorless surroundings.
3D sound seemed to work someway.

I can't beleive what kind of people want to play this kind of game?

Timemanipulating. Even the idea is not original. Three years earlier game called Timeshift (2007) already did it. Timeshift is actually fun and represents a real shooter where you have freedom to move and kill. Please do your self a favor and play that instead . This one deserves to be left dust on the shelves.
