General Score: 7

It's a shame this was Raven's last game prior to becoming a COD support Studio. This game was so much fun and interesting. Well worth the 30 dollars at time of writing. Pick it up and play it. You wont be sad.

The game aged like fine wine. Graphics still look good, and the gameplay is great and frantic, especially for a short-lore game.
You get a few extra things to do, and it’s quite similar to another game called TimeShift (2007)
Both are about time manipulation in general. Now, the only recent game I know that deals with time manipulation is Quantum Break (2016) Both are definitely worth playing if that’s your style.
Singularity deserves to be respected like most old-school gems that made generations of gamers proud. All of them should be remastered or remade or at least get a sequel, if possible.
10/10. A great game, worth every penny.

Very fun hidden gem from the beginning of the 2010s. This game asks the question: "What if CoD devs made a campaign with survival horror and sci-fi elements?" and the answer is, it turns out surprisingly well.
Pros:
Great gunplay.
Grisly, creative monster designs & mechanics.
Awesome time-manipulation mechanics, probably second best next to Quantum Break.
Cool story, with enough intrigue and paradoxes to make you wonder what ending you get is 'best'.
Sound design and art direction are ahead of their time.
The early game was my favourite part of it: when you have minimal equipment and no time powers, the time-dilation mutants are genuinely unsettling and gives the game a survival-horror feel.
It has what I like to call a mandatory power fantasy moment: you spend the whole game at the enemy's mercy, then you become super overpowered in the closing hour and stomp on fools. It's great. I love when games do this.
No bugs or glitches in my playthrough.
Great compatibility even on very modern hardware. I played in 1080p 240fps.
Length is ideal for an FPS game. Anything longer than 6 hours for an FPS tends to overstay its welcome, I clocked in at 5.5 on Hard.

Cons:
Sequel-baits with the epilogue and it's been 15 years now, so the thread goes nowhere.
Early game sets up a survival horror atmosphere pretty well, with dark and morbid backstory involving children forced to eat mutating meals, but quickly devolves into a CoD campaign with a cool setting.
Plot twist was pretty predictable, I called it before the game even tells you.
Balancing is out the window: the four best weapons in the game are available to you within the first hour, removing most of the tension.
Game feels like it wasn't fully realised, most likely due to Activision forcing Raven to put this out earlier than it was ready. Per Wikipedia: "According to Keith Fuller from Raven Software the game had a troubled development and was almost cancelled by publisher Activision"
Can't rebind every action, so pickup is stuck as "R", which is also Reload. A product of its time when PC ports were fledgling.
Baby Spider enemies are a total nuisance and not fun to fight at all.
No cloud-save support, so save your file somewhere before you uninstall. Not the devs fault, it was 15 years ago, but it's worth knowing.
If you want a classic FPS campaign that's over before it gets tiresome, this is well worth picking up, especially with the frequency in which it goes on sale for around £7. This shows the developers of CoD beneath Acitvision's umbrella are hungry and capable of creating something new and different, they need only be given the chance to.

It's an interesting game, but a bit short. Worth a shot if you can get it under 10 bucks.
Edit. Just finished it again and it seems it's about 8 hours gameplay.

Too bad Raven Software is working the Call of Duty mines, they could be making banger video games right about now. They made Warzone, and as thank you, they were forced to work on it more, rather than given freedom. ActivisionBlizzard milking them for all they got.

Game is a banger, buy it!

Had some trouble early on (those tick enemies are the worst), but once I got the minigun, the game became way too easy—though ridiculously fun.

It’s ambitious but feels disjointed at times. Gunplay, however, is top-notch.

Sadly, this was Raven’s last original game… still miss them.
