Feels like I am playing an early alpha. All the levels feel empty and hollow. Feels like no story, just wander in a direction and here are some random robots that will attack you. Movement feels very slow, combat unrewarding, puzzles are just poorly designed. Really wanted to love this game, but I can't

It feels like a cheap Half-Life x Portal copy that doesn't make a lot of sense in any way. Gameplay is clunky, optimization is bad. Also a bug in the bridge made me stuck in somewhere that I can't leave whatever I tried, which was frustrating. Story does not make any sense. Ending of the story was flat and didn't explained anything. It was really short, which is directly a reason why the story was bland. Environment …

I'll come clean, I have no idea what I played, I didn't pay any attention to the story as I found to be incredibly boring and yet I was still disappointed with the abrupt ending that leaves on a cliffhanger. The game is mostly about shooting robots, looting ammo and a few basic puzzles. On the other hand, the world is fun to explore and the atmosphere isn't half bad either. Overall, the game gave me an impression of …

Industria is a curious case. The game really invokes Half-Life 2 imagery, but gameplay-wise feel closer to a Frictional Games game but with a simple combat loop against robots to spice things up. There is some very rudementary puzzle solving at a few junctions but otherwise is a rather straight forward experience. The game is also VERY short, I managed to speedrun it for the melee only achievement in just under an …

Industria is probably the best three hours I’ve spent gaming this year so far—and the year has only just begun. The game delivers an incredible atmosphere, strongly reminiscent of the 1950s, with a distinct and immersive aesthetic that really sets it apart. It’s not just a game, but an experience—one filled with tension, mystery, and emotion. What stood out to me the most were the conversations with our radio …

Players who liked INDUSTRIA talk about strong atmosphere and world design; those who didn't talk about abrupt ending with cliffhanger. Which matters more to you?

A narrative FPS adventure about a woman stranded in a parallel dimension, trying to find a way home. Explore, scavenge and fight in a strange boreal landscape consumed by ever-hungry machines.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →INDUSTRIA has some great ideas, but unfortunately also a lot of unnecessary frustration. The marketing around "Half-Life in Berlin", surreal East Berlin, and influences from BioShock or Metro 2033 creates expectations the game simply doesn't live up to. Berlin is basically gone after a few minutes, with most of the game taking place in the fictional parallel world of Hakavik. If you're expecting a dystopian version of East Berlin, you'll probably be disappointed. Which is a shame, because…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, that was... what the hell? That ending was almost as rushed as Rage (2010). Overall, not a bad game had some performance issues, but nothing game breaking, just occasional stuttering. The gameplay was fun and fluid I enjoyed using the rifle and shotgun, though the melee weapon felt pretty useless. The atmosphere was the best part it felt like a mix of Dishonored’s colour scheme and Half Life’s structure, mechanics, and flow. The enemies weren’t very varied, but given the short length, it…

As a huge survival horror fan, I'd been following this game forever, and now I'm in it! Big thanks to @Bleakmill.com and the rest of the Industria team!
neutral · AI labelView post →It was a very nice experience and left me wanting for more. It brought me a similar sense of wanting to discover more, and this sense of wonder I remember from playing HL2 some 2 decades ago; as well as games like Singularity, Metro, Control, ... I wanted to see more. I wanted to finish it. And I could finish it without any bother nor boredom! I could put it down, pick it up again, did not have any issues of finding my bearings or having to replay parts just to know what I was supposed to do.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT RECCOMEND. PLEASE READ. This is an embarrassingly poorly optimized game. Gameplay and story are only meh. I cannot for the life of me recommend this. I am all for supporting indie games, and was willing to look past the constant stutters - which required a windows defender workaround to even become bare able - but I couldn't. I don't care about anything - but proper optimizations. No tweaking on resolution - graphical settings - fixed it. It has so many bug making it unplayable. I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I agree with the other reviews stating this feels more like a proof-of-concept or a demo. There isn't much here and it is very, very short. Additionally, it does feel somewhat unfinished. The gameplay is pretty bland, and the environments feel empty. I liked some of it, and the game's concept is interesting, but there's just no payoff to anything; once you've played the first chapter you've seen the entirety of what the game has to offer in both gameplay and story. Also, the game's price tag…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this at -90% discount and I do not recommend it. INDUSTRIA delivers a strong atmospheric experience supported by excellent environment art and writing. but it's held back by its weak combat, unrewarding exploration, short length and bad performance. Atmosphere INDUSTRIA has a strong atmosphere and excellent environment art. The world looks authentic, especially through its Eastern European industrial setting, with a visual style that at times resembles Dishonored. The spaces feel…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Visual design is pleasing, but the game is frustratingly difficult. Very few saves between fight segments. Very few health pickups. High fall damage. On top of that, rifle shots don't hit enemies at point blank. Replaying the same 10-minute sequence 5 times just because you've taken a couple of hits is not fun at all for a mystery exploration based game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not a game, it's more like a pitch and/or longer tech demo for a game from the devs to the publishers or Kickstarter backers. Actually, one can make a guessing game out of a thorough playthrough, making guesses of what ideas were thrown around when making it. It has elements of an atmospheric walking simulator, a stealth game and there are some easy puzzles. All of them present at parts, never fully committed or fleshed out. You can complete it between 3-4 hours, depending on how much…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good game! It gives you Half-Life Vibes. You can say it`s a Half-Life combined with P0rtal kind of thing. Definetly Recommend! I hope the 2nd game will give me TERMINATOR vibes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An entertaining short game that can be beaten in one session. It felt pretty cozy to me, with good voice acting and enjoyable gameplay + some Half-Life vibes, just get it at discount. Full Game Walkthrough: https://youtu.be/iLAUbiY0-7s

As a love letter to Half Life, it falls flat, aside from the aesthetics of alien infrastructure clawing into vaguely eastern European pre-war architecture. There's no environmental storytelling to get the player thinking if there could be some deeper meaning to all this, which is a shame, because Industria…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The ali express version of atomic heart, not to say that's bad, just very budget and short.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The visuals are pretty and the world design is nice, however, the gameplay doesn't exactly hold up. The enemies are mostly all melee and hardly pose a threat to the player. Encounters are quite sparse and a lot of your time is spent walking from point to point and occasionally solving a puzzle (these end up seeming more like padding to the runtime than anything as they aren't particularly difficult). The story is pretty minimal and what is there just seems mysterious for the sake of being…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I completed Industria and it's another very short but sweet appetizer of a game
positive · AI labelView post →Bought it on sale, so I cannot complain about it being short, though be prepared - it's only around 4-5. It's old school. No maps, no markers, no auto-healing, no replenishing ammo after finishing a level. It's mostly linear, with fair amount of optional rooms. No side quests, just a main story that begs for a continuation. A had an honest fun playing the game, reminding me both of Half-Life and Control. I'd recommend it any rainy / snowy day to kill and afternoon with some nostalgia and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →industria is like if an entire game was the early slog segment of a bad half life ripoff that never gets better
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let me start off by saying this is a pretty impressive game for what is essentially a two-man team. I can appreciate that they made what they describe as a love letter to HL2 and there are definitely elements of HL2 from the design of the areas to the crate breaking and stacking that you'll recognize if you loved HL2. With that said, the game is essentially if you took a mediocre walking simulator and added gunplay that no one thought to make interesting. Nothing about the game is going to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →INDUSTRIA Review (but I’m losing my mind) I loaded up INDUSTRIA thinking I was about to play Half-Life’s long-lost cousin… Nah. This is Half-Life’s cousin that shows up at family parties asking to borrow money. * Story: “find this missing person” → still missing * Combat: feels like I’m fighting in a dream * Ending: shows up out of nowhere like a jump scare BUT the vibes?? Actually fire.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looks really pretty and I could tell it's inspired by Half-Life. however, its beauty doesn't compensate with its shallowness in writing, story, gameplay, puzzles, enemies. I'm fighting to keep myself awake to participate in this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got this game during the sale after talking with a friend and had not a lot of expectations. Maybe thats the reason why i liked it so much. Despite its flaws (its pretty buggy, combat is a bit weird and plain), overall i did enjoy it a lot. Story, design, atmosphere. It kept me hooked, despite having to replay the game all over again due to gamebreaking bug or some other stuff. All those flaws can be explained by indie development of (maybe) first game ever by the team. And in that sense,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Play INDUSTRIA first before you play Part 2! If you're looking for a slower-paced experience with an engaging story, these games deliver exactly that. I highly recommend playing the first game before starting the second so you can experience the story as one continuous journey. Industria 2 improves on the original in almost every way. It features more action, better visuals, a longer campaign, and a more fleshed-out story, all wrapped in an incredibly immersive atmosphere. As a German, I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A meh game. Great art. Well made. Feels like Half-Life meets Generation Zero. Don't get tricked by the art style though - it's a survival horror game and nothing more. Very short game for the full asking price too, with very simple gameplay. There are no puzzles after the first 30-40 minutes, it just becomes a horror shooter after that. There are like 3 attempts at making some sort of interactive mechanics in the game, even an inventory system, but it seems the devs just gave up and decided it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rather mixed experience. On the other hand the game is not that well optimized, weird glitches/bugs everywhere and some aspects of combat such as melee combat is not that great. It is also extremely short, which can be bad thing or a good thing depending on your expectations. On the other hand game has pretty interesting premise and when combat works it does feel rather good. It's just that there isn't all that much combat and rest of the game is puzzle solving or walking simulator like. If you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought because the sequel demo looks promising. but refunded before an hour of playing. the atmosphere is great but the gameplay is intolerable for me. almost no tutorial. too many unnecessary grabable thing. unable to throw things far than 1 step. the combat is awful. melee attack feels empty even with full charge swing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Industria is a far too short repetitive FPS that is loosely inspired by Half Life, but clearly not enough. Instead of Half Life, this game feels more like a boom shoot with how little set pieces and well designed encounters are found. Enemy variety is lackluster, with far too little challenge to be found. New enemies introduced are often gone too soon, and ends up favouring close quarter enemies to the detriment of fun. As for the story, it is nonsensical with too little explained and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short and, unfortunately, not that sweet. Industria is paper-thin with a scant collection of weapons, enemy types, environments, and puzzles. It's sort of like a C-grade Garry's Mod map pack, but with bad optimization and a formulaic story tacked on. Sorry, but this one just ain't that special.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very slow to start, lost interest, having a mob take half a clip on the first attempt seems unnecessary when you only find 1 or 2 bullets at a time to start with. the story is a slow progress but could have been a nice concept. Got this as part of a humble pack
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Industria is a game inspired by Half-Life 2 and Bioshock. It has a beautiful world and a fairly intriguing story, good voice acting too, but it's got plenty of flaws and a story that just ends without even a proper cliff hanger. It'll continue in Industria 2 sure, but they really should have ended it on something more exciting. The world itself seems to be a place stuck in the industrial revolution of the late 19th century, but it's been invaded by modern looking robots of some kind. Oh and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →INDUSTRIA wants to be successful without understanding why so many games it took elements from are successful while additionally putting in little to no effort to make the gaming experience enjoyable. Many of the reviews underneath this game compare it to something akin to Half-Life. I can see this if they're specifically talking about the base requirements for an FPS action-adventure game, but anything further is a insult to the series. The setting of the game offers so much wiggle room…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty cool if you enjoy the spooky unknown type of games like the Half Life series, Bioshock games and Metro series. Theres some really nice environments, gunplay is good, and level designs that guide you through (usually) pretty well. It's mostly a linear game with some shooting and platforming too. Really enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Decent voice acting throughout, although the ending is weird. I don't get it but whi cares I had fun! Having said that, the game could use a few…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Everything here feels either very generic or flawed. In terms of lighting: there's some light fog everywhere that makes the flashlight obsolete. In terms of areas: you're always in some sort of street, apartment or factory - it all feels the same. In terms of puzzles: there's a couple mild ones at the start of the game, but none come after those. And top of that, the story and its many unskippable cutscenes didn't do it for me. 100% achievement completion boils down to 2 playthroughs - 1…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Industria is a good albeit very flawed game. It nails the atmosphere and vibe of the world, with creepy, mysterious and beautiful moments in equal parts all bolstered by a fantastic soundtrack. There is a lot of mystery and intrigue throughout the brief story as you search for your husband Walter in a post-apocalyptic city The radio calls with Brent, the only other character you talk to throughout the game (besides your husband technically at the beginning and end) reminded me of the radio…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A short, competent sci-fi FPS that you probably shouldn't pay more than $5 for. Gunplay mechanics are fine but there's nothing special there. Voice acting is very high quality but the general overall storytelling doesn't make much sense. The last map, especially, devolves into symbolic nonsense that is totally disconnected from the rest of the story. To pull apart the steam page synopsis : "Unravel the secrets of a mysterious parallel dimension while searching for a missing colleague."…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a bit rough around the edges though due to the aiming feeling a bit awkward the encounters can feel a bit encumbersome though for the lite amount of combat actually gives it a bit of tenseness interesting concept and with a sequel might add more to the story
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pretty good game. performance is kind of bad and that just seems to be the way it is, capping the framerate with rivia tuner helped a bit, but yeah its rough. otherwise pretty good, nice music and voice acting and story. wasn’t sure what to make of the very liminal parts between levels in the big library area, nor of the theatre, though i didn’t dislike them. the game ends far too soon i would say, but thats fine. what most drew me to this game primarily was that the way the robots took over…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a glorified demo taking about 2hrs to complete. Guns feel terrible, performance is bad, story goes nowhere. Watch a playthrough instead of buying it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rating: 5/10 -Mid I don't really know what to say about Industria. The gameplay is very inspired by Half-Life. I'll start with the story. While trying to track down your coworker that has gone missing, you enter a teleporter to a parallel world. It is infested by machines that seem to be controlled by a central AI. The story is fine and the levels have this abandoned industrial vibe which was nice. The game has some small little puzzles that you solve by interacting with your environment. The…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel mixed about the game. The Art direction is really cool even if the graphics aren't the greatest. The combat feels good sometimes and really weird othertimes. The mix of low ammo (often just one or two backup mags) and slow movement feels like this games wants me to stealth around and stratigically take out targets. But stealth feels almost impossible. The enemies spot you before you can sometimes see them, even when crouched. Same with the melee weapon. Even the heavy attack, which is…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Industria feels a lot like a smaller, simpler version of Half-Life, with familiar industrial areas and strange sci-fi vibes. The game switches between calm exploring and quick fights in a way that feels the same. If you liked Half-Life’s mood and style, you will enjoy this game. 9/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know why the game is so stingy with the healing items when they give you ammo every time you turn around...especially on the normal difficulty I am barely staying healed with the amount they give. Some of the areas are very confusingly designed as well, making you run around in circles until you figure out where to go.

INDUSTRIA clearly didn't have a huge budget…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed the game, but it is really short, and can be easily finished in under 3 hours. When it started to get really interesting, it just ends abruptly, disappointing, It has only 3 chapters,, great chapters but only 3, that is it, chapters 4 and 5 should not even be there. Feels unfinished.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah this game is cool, it's short and there's not much to do but it's cool. Now I'm gonna go play the 2nd one. buh bye
