A time-bending shooter from 2010, Singularity puts you in the boots of Captain Renko, a soldier who winds up stranded on a hidden island where Russia was researching a secret element called E-99 after World War II. After inadvertently breaking the timeline and creating a world where a dictator named Demechov takes over, Renko is tasked with fixing his mistake with the help of a handful of allies - and a hand-mounted device that can control time itself.

All in all, this is a very solid, very 2010 game that I probably would have scored an 8 or so when it came out, but has just aged a bit and feels almost quaint. Despite the simplicity of the story and the way the genre has evolved, there's still a lot to like here.

+Fun guns and powers, from a grenade launcher with controllable grenades to a super-aging beam that turns people into elderly corpses
+Pretty decent enemy variety for the game's length
+Gunplay handles well and upgrades let you shape your playstyle
+Well-paced, no sequences really felt padded or overly long

-The story, while not dull, is pretty simple and doesn't do as much as it could
-The graphics went for a pretty realistic style that hasn't aged great, even if some enemy designs stand out
-Just not a ton of gameplay variety, it's a pretty standard run n' gun campaign that lives on the variety of its weapons and abilities

This is so much more than just "yet another mid 2000 generic military shooter with some gimmicky time travelling superpowers"

It's both a lazy attempt from Activision to plagiarize Bioshock and to make a quick buck on Irrationnal games's back but also the last desperate cry from Raven software before being sent to the call of duty mines....

I miss you Raven
