    a game that's boring in a good way! progression is simple but nicely gated/balanced (better and different types of weapons + hazardous areas requiring proper gear unlocking down the line), the map is big but not massive, open from lots of different angles, there's rich and diverse sci-fi lore to scan and dig through giving an even greater purpose to exploration, the mazelike "puzzle" sections are super neat, the sound design is both natural and electronic further punctuating the dissonance of multiple highly advanced factions all converging on a single seemingly dead planet... i could go on for hours with how baseline GOOD this game does everything. and y'know what? i think that's pretty impressive! so many games punch above their weight and are kinda neat with half-baked systems under the hood. this one is flat good all the way through and feels like it knows exactly what it wanted to be. on my beginning note of it being "boring in a good way", i think i just mean relaxing. firefights can get intense sure, but it's mostly just you and the grassy/rocky wilderness and a gorgeous day and night cycle that highlights the tremendous lighting. if you find it regular boring i totally get it, but for me it's a great reminder to stop and smell the roses

    Just finished the first campaign and honestly it's kinda got those 'grinding spiders while solo-ing WoW' vibes but with a *really cool* setting. I did play it on easy because I wasn't sure what I was getting into and how it would play without a keyboard/mouse (only problem was aiming, still need to check if that's just a my controller issue) but that still provided a bit of a challenge in the later game while also letting me pretty freely run through the gorgeous landscape and explore the cool sci-fi ruins...until I'd get blasted from the side by three laser rifle shots at once and look around going "Huh? What was that??" :) I kinda bought this at random, just using Steam's search utilities looking for a chill single player couch/controller FPS and this was perfect. If it were a AAA title I'd probably want more plot and more variety in the missions and strategies...but I think I paid ten bucks for this so overall I'm pretty impressed! And I want to know more about this world...which I will get, because there's a second prequel campaign that I haven't started yet! :)

    This game, this damned game. Very few games have stuck with me for so long, it's such a strange, fascinating world that the developers have built. There is DEEP lore here and I recommend reading the accompanying game manual (remember those?!), to get an idea of what is going on. The combat is fine, with wide open spaces allowing for the AI to path around easily. The guns are fun to use and the overall game mechanics are tight. Like I say, it's a weird game, but one that will stick with you. I especially LOVE the concept of 'The Magnitudes'. Feels like very old school sci-fi.

    The Signal From Tolva has a lot of charm. The graphics are easy on the eyes, whether it be the landscapes or the mysterious structures dotted around or the cool robot designs. The background music adds to the eerie atmosphere of the planet. The gameplay is a straight forward and well-balanced capture territory fps. The story is there if you're paying attention; it's a mystery that teases you with data files you find throughout the game. Even so, it does leave something to interpretation. More can be learned about the story through the free dlc (Polar Regions) that comes with the game. The only thing that kinda grated was the interface sound-effects; they're a little harsh on the ears. Overall I really enjoyed this game. I hope that maybe by some good fortune we'll see the devs return to Tolva. 4/5

    found it boring and empty in the first time I played. Now I've beaten the game for the fourth time, and finally realized, that I simply adore pointless walking and shooting. I wish the game had more content and better fast travel, but it's a good one
