It's great, a Half-Life 2 style FPS adventure with its own twists. It's not a classic like the games it apes (but probably more fun, if more limited, than Bioshock), you can call it derivative, generic, cheesy, but it's still damn good, especially since such FPS campaigns are barely done nowadays (and Raven is a COD DLC factory).

Raven may never make the best shooters of a generation, but theyre always fun and well designed shooters that fall just short of true greatness. Singularity is very much like that.Singularity™

Just figured I would mention this to people if you own the GOTY edition on GOG.
You can download the most up to date version of the game as an Offline installer backup from your library off of GOG from the website its self which is pretty self explanatory but:
You can also download the backup from GOG Galaxy which I completely forgot how to do and it was basically like a convoluted maze:
So inside GOG Galaxy click on the GOG.COM tab under Games, click on a game you own, You should now see in the top center of the GOG Galaxy screenlike this
Click on the . . . button
Followed by clicking on the Extras button
Scroll all the way to the fucking bottom (Unless you have a giant monitor)
Ta Da
Then you can click the purple arrow to download the offline backup installer for your owned games
I know that you can just do it super easy off the website but it annoyed the shit out of me that I couldn't for the life of me remember offhand how to do it through GOG Galaxy and i knew you could but yeah I didnt remember it being that stupid, anyways
Since the Updated version of Witcher 3 will automagically update etc if you own it on GOG you can in theory have a old version still unlike on Steam unless they change their mind or whatever
Thought it might be helpful

Pretty sure Lashman linked them all as they got announced on steam but they're all coming out on GOG as well. Pretty cool that SNEG/GOG is sort of ramping up releasing older titles like that when it felt like stuff like that was pretty "Stagnate" for a long time.
I mean I know you can always just go all over the internet and download stuff but actually having it in one place collected together and easily downloading it and a bunch of other reasons makes it so much easier

Fairly certain this is a new thing so you'd want to most likely opt out (Don't know why you'd not) but this got turned on for some reason for a lot of people when grabbing giveaways since subscribing was a requirement but I never saw this pop up
It's under Orders and settings then Subscription settings

The Autumn sale started

One I always kind of wondered what the hell the difference between the "new" versions of Fallout and Fallout Classic were and since I had amazon prime I was claiming them anyways I finally actually spent the time trying to figure it out and came to the conclusion that I have no idea!
My rudimentary looking into it basically came to the conclusion that:
Essentially the non classic versions which are the only ones you can still purchase or get for free from PRIME come with just a manual and are updated to the latest and greatest patch. While the old "CLASSIC" versions not available anymore were an older non patched version that came bundled with a bunch of extra cool stuff (I think it's cool at least, like the soundtrack, even a bonus mission!).
Unfortunately you can't buy them anymore so it's just the new ones now

However their actual forum got them a ton of hate, the main article goes over stuff a lot more

Fallout Tactics is 1.7 Gigs
Fallout Tactics Classic is 1.7 gigs
Fallout is 687 MB and I believe version 1.2

I'd forgotten all about Luna, ha.
Found this thread from 2015 about Classic vs non-Classic
www.gog.com
They differ by Extras and Mac versions according to if it was Interplay or Bethesda that sold them.
Wonder if one of the wikis has a definitive answer? hmmm.

This is correct. For example, the old Interplay Fallout 2 version has Win and Mac clients and these extras
The newer Bethesda version only has a Windows client and these extras

Oh that's cool to know, I wasn't trying to be lazy about looking into it
I just sort of began absentmindedly started thinking about it when amazon prime started shitting out GOG keys for them and I had the classic versions
