    Real cute little indie gem with an interesting vibe and open world AI battlefield mechanics. There's also something to be said for the equally well equipped and capable as the player enemies, and specifically the shield mechanic - I feel those factors are quite compelling in actual play and end up feeling dynamic and like you're getting more than the sum of the parts involved. The sound design is another strong point - if you've got a good quality pair of headphones, the spacious airiness of the overall soundscape is very refreshing and enjoyable. The surreal maze parts are the one downside however. When entering these locations, instead of something creative what you get is a lame portal gimmick, which invariably leads pretty much nowhere interesting, so ends up being extremely played out and insufferable by the time you encounter it the 3rd time - avoid these sections like the plague. P.S., extra kudos for the Jodorowski reference with the Zealot Frigate ship design.

    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

    Bought this game years ago, and after forgetting it was in my library for quite some time, I finally got around to playing and finishing it recently over on my Youtube channel. Link at end of the review for anyone who wants to see a gameplay sample before buying, but first I'll give my thoughts. Most important thing for prospective buyers to note: The Signal From Tolva is a more sedate, slow-burner type of game, and the actual gameplay itself isn't anything particularly special. In essence you're some kind of AI/robot deployed to investigate strange signals on a mysterious planet, exploring the landscape, finding points of interest and fighting off hostile robots. So gameplay-wise, there's a lot of exploration and wandering about, sporadically interspersed with combat. The combat itself is pretty simple. You can buy different weapons, all of which fall into one of a small number of categories - such as railguns for longer range sniping or assault ray guns for closer quarters - plus a small selection of upgrades and support powers. In short: what the game does, it does well enough; just don't be expecting too much. There are a few puzzles, usually in the form of bunker mazes that you can find on the map (usually they aren't marked, but they're typically quite easy to spot). I did have mixed feelings towards these. On the one hand they do add something a bit different to the usual walk-around-and-occasionally-fight gameplay. But on the other hand, some can be quite time-consuming and complex, requiring plenty of patience on the player's part. I think the thing I did love most about the game was the exploration and taking in the scenery. The visuals do look lovely enough, with craggy landscapes that reminded me a little bit of Death Stranding (though of course, The Signal From Tolva came several years before Death Stranding did) containing the odd noteworthy feature, such as spaceship wrecks, old industrial sites and ancient structures. Add to that a Polar regions expansion campaign that puts you in the same kind of landscapes but with a whiter, snowier aesthetic, it did scratch my itch for some sedate exploration. The story is kind of mysterious, and admittedly I didn't feel like I had any answers by the end of the game. The endings, in fact, can feel a bit anticlimactic in that they don't really wrap up what's been going on. In summary, I wouldn't say I loved this game or thought it was amazing. But I did find it mildly pleasant enough to play, so I'd still give it a thumbs up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t481IOZqm4I&list=PL05Yc3_TEBpPzCCSkbI-6G0KtNR76J-sq

    The game is definitely a bit slower paced, and the map isn't full of all kinds of exciting locations and landmarks. But if you're a person who thrives off of environment, and likes piecing together loose bits of story and creating a headcanon, you'll enjoy it.
