2nd playthrough. TimeShift feels like a tech demo, and very Half-Life inspired. Pretty short campaign, but engaging gameplay. Most of the time manipulation skills get utilized in a wide variety of ways, I liked that a lot. I had a great time with this game, its definitely not a must play category, but its short, sweet and fun. For me personally this game stuck with me since I was a child, when I first saw videos of it.

this was a nastalgia whim, i wanted to play this in the past, but with ps3 dying, i thought pc was the way. tldr, its a rain day type of game, the amount of energy for time powers isn't much, and vehicle controls are trash.

in 2007 the game itself was both ahead of its time and already outdated. wanna say, the devs deserve respect for making that Half-Life 2 rip-off with their own engine and while somehow anticipating Crysis and Singularity. eventually, it helped Saber build its first reputation, and it grew into a big multi-studio company, so, it was worth it, I guess. in 2025, TimeShift is good for archeology, I suppose, nothing more. shooting feels weak and boring, plot has no sense. but almost 20 years later I can finally play it without lags and admire its bizarre obsession with wet, highly detailed textures, and of course, leather jackets on everyone in the Resistance. every location, every scene still has this vibe of crazy ambitions and sleepless nights to make it happen. and also, it could be interesting to discuss why TimeShift was a big deal for russian players back in the day, and what it shares with Atomic Heart. I mean, from a cultural perspective. but we probably know the answer, and it doesn't matter now anyway. time to move on.

It is a damn shame this game doesn't work out of the box and many people are left without experiencing this hidden gem of the late 2000s Don't worry I got you covered First follow this guide https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=326627023 And then this one https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1869921614 Afterwards you can play without issues The story is kind of there but not really the main focus. The gameplay and technological advancements of that era are noteworthy though. You can manipulate time itself to either skip through it, rewind it or even pause it. Using this mechanic you will be solving puzzles, outsmarting enemies and eventually its a core mechanic that you have to utilise to beat this game. Other than that the weapons in this game are top notch I enjoyed using each and every one of them and even more they have alt fire modes that are satisfying to use. The shotgun? While not at the level of Doom or FEAR's shotgun it still packs quite a punch. So in short? Awesome game mechanics, awesome weapons some annoying puzzles and a lot of fun ones too, an alright story plus some bonus content. You can't go wrong with this purchase 8/10
