ADACA

This is basically two games in one. A fairly lengthy (for an indie game anyways,) linear campaign Inspired mainly by Half-Life 2 and an open world game inspired by S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The campaign took me 7.3 hours. Very Half-Life 2 inspired for good and bad. Plenty of influence from Halo too, and I also spotted a bit of Far Cry 1 inspiration in some environments in the final chapter and there's one character that I'm pretty sure is inspired by one from Remedy's Control. I... didn't like it much. A big amount of the playtime is taken up by fights and the fights are often way too long with enemy reinforcements arriving over and over and over. A lot of the enemies are quite spongy even when you use high tier weapons which I suppose is to get you to use your gravity glove more to throw objects, but the objects hovering in front of you often cover too much of the screen, hovering right on your crosshair, making aiming more difficult than it should be. Oh yeah, and the game feature my f...

Absolutely fantastic. It's got an anomalous exclusion zone, but drawing similarities to STALKER does this game a disservice since it's got such a unique flavor and setting. And there's no yellow painted ledges; the game expects you to listen, pay attention, and think. Excellent game. Also go play Project Silverfish!

I wanted to like it but I got bored in the campaign, uninstalled after spending about 5 minutes trying to stack some crates with your stupid gravity arm to get where I needed to go. The zone patrol was more interesting but every time you load in you have to start back at the ship.

Excellent

Good Half-like. Challenging Shooting, fun guns, lots of gravity gun stuff. Decent story line even.

Taking a mix of inspiration from Half Life 2 and Halo, ADACA offers an exciting single player experience. You get the gravity gun on the first real level and things only escalate from there.

This game has a lot of inspirations and covers most of them surprisingly well. It also has a campaign and a open world game mode for some extra content.

Very fun little shooter made by an indie dev who clearly loves classic games like Halo, Half-Life, and STALKER. The demo lets you play the beginning of both the campaign and the free-roam modes. Zone Patrol (the free-roam mode) was what I spent the most time with - there are plenty of secrets to uncover and people to meet in the Zone. Definitely worth trying!
