9/10 -- Buy immediately! Support indie passion projects whenever you can. [url=https://ko-fi.com/siristhedragon]Check out their Ko-Fi! Adaca is like two games in one package. You have the Campaign , which is like Halo meets Half-Life , and then you have Zone Patrol , a semi-roguelike gamemode reminiscent of STALKER . For the best experience, play through Zone Patrol for five or more hours, and then slowly go through the campaign missions. You can play both modes at once, and they complement each other nicely. The gameplay is solid and immediately gives you fun tools and says 'Go have fun.' Movement is fast and slick. There are also a LOT of guns, most feel unique or situational, and you'll find a favourite in no time. Finding a flashy new gun and discovering that it shoots lasers is such a good feeling. Only a few guns have ADS, while others have none or instead have special abilities. The big thing about the gameplay is the gravity arm, which functions exactly like the gravity gun from Half-Life, but better. Manipulating the environment and flinging projectiles never gets old, and you feel so smart when you line up enemies to fling a box through and use it to overcome puzzles. You also feel like a badass when you get into the groove, though I wish the writing acknowledged that more. Enemy variety mainly consists of other guys with guns, though there are a few animals and some spooky guys that will definitely give you a fright. The level design and environments are all good, though when they're bad, they're really bad. You'll find yourself rushing the bad Some graphics, sound effects and animations are royalty-free, but they're used in a way you won't notice. I didn't even realise they were royalty-free until I found a QR code on one of the wall decals, though I did suspect the talking animations were free. Regardless, they all fit well and give plenty of character. The story is lacklustre , mostly cobbled together from other media. Nothing is really explained or discussed in depth. The characters are also very forgettable and generally poorly written, with some spelling and grammar errors, too. It's all very same-y, wherein each character talks the same, and each codex reads the same. Though one moment with a certain character appearing in the Campaign surprised me, it was awesome! The writing doesn't matter much because the gameplay and environment are so damn good and immersive that you end up making your own story up, or at least I did. Environmental story-telling is really Adaca's strong suit , fitting much better than anything written. The music is very atmospheric and used nicely, there are cool little music riffs that can really wow you. Though, I don't find myself listening to the soundtrack when not playing. Don't let the graphics fool you. This game is quite demanding in terms of performance , though that's more of an Unreal Engine quirk than a fault with the game. You shouldn't notice the performance in most scenarios, but your system will be growling. To be expected of a small indie game, there's not much of a community. There's a semi-active discord, some youtube videos, and that's about it. Be warned, the game is also very hard. It's hard but fair. Use your environment and pick your weapons wisely. For the best hardcore experience, I recommend the hardest difficulty and the Rush, Frag Happy and Glass Jaw modifiers. It makes it very rewarding, though it gets busted in some parts. Thankfully, you can change modifiers and difficulty at any point without a loading screen. Oh, also, be sure to explore everywhere! There are many secrets in the Campaign and Zone Patrol. OVERALL: I loved it. I found the game by watching TomatoGaming, and I needed something to scratch that STALKER itch, so Adaca gave me the whole massage instead. I loved Zone Patrol and it's definitely the stronger gamemode. The Campaign is great, too, especially Act 1 and 2! The bugs, some animations, writing, Act 3 and lack of Inventory, Saving and quests in Zone Patrol hold it back from a 10/10. But for an indie game mostly developed by one person, it's just such an incredible feat, I can overlook the bad. I'm excited for Project Silverfish !

Being a hardcore HL2 fan, this game really hit home. Everything from the ominous environments and glowing soldier eyes, to the gravity gun-like object manipulation made this game truly a spectacular experience. I havent adventured much into the Zone Patrol mode extensively but from what I did experience it was a wild open-world action movie that 64-bit Gordon Freeman would be proud to call home. Pendrake, you knocked this one out of the park. 100/10

This game is great. I've only completed the story mode so far (8 hours), and it's safe to say that I won't forget it. May come back to the sandbox bits down the line but right now, I feel like I played a balanced mixture of the Half Life, Halo, and Metro series. Loads of weapons, loads of enemies, cool environments and considering there's no voice acting, it was fairly immersive. My only gripes are that this had no achievements and a few of the enemies scared the crap out of me.

Adaca is two games in one: a fairly straightforward linear level-based shooter clearly inspired by Half-Life 2 and an impressive open world atmospheric adventure game clearly inspired by STALKER. It's really a testament to the love and care the developer had that both modes stand out as impressive works on their own but together the package may be one of the highest values for money available. The main campaign is pretty straightforward, elevated with a large catalog of fun weaponry and only let down how closely it plays up its Half-Life influences with its miniscule roster of enemies that come mostly in different flavors of armored humanoid. The AI is capable with squads of enemies flanking and rushing on all sides across the game's large scaled levels but it's always disappointing when the only challenge a game can provide in the late game is increasingly bullet sponge enemies that get trigger happy with tough-to-dodge explosives. At about 4 hours the main campaign is satisfying in its own right and the nonsensical story and samey encounters does little to detract overall. But the second mode, Zone Patrol, is where the game truly shines. Spread across about a dozen large interconnected levels not unlike Shadow of Chernobyl, Zone Patrol literally drops you in a map and provides the vague goal of "reconnaissance." As you explore discovering new events and quests from scattered NPCs, Zone Patrol opens in a way that even the STALKER games fail to live up. With no in-game documentation or quest trackers, and a map that doesn't even mark your location, Zone Patrol succeeds in presenting a hostile feeling world full of mystery and wonder. Seeing this game's version of a blowout occur with no warning or wandering into one of the random rifts into a Cronenbergian meat-dimension keep you on your toes.

A campaign that rivals half life 2, and a second mode that knows exactly why stalker and early fallout games worked. The dev cooked hard on this one. Don't play episode 3 until you've completed exclusion zone if you care about the story. Exclusion zone is worth sticking with as well, it is confusing, but think logically about where you would expect to find the information your looking for, and you'll either find it there, or find it on the way. THE RADIO HAS SOMETHING TO SAY.
