I'm writing this review almost exactly a year after playing Industria and almost exactly a month after Industria 2 was announced. And somehow it speaks volumes about the first one when I start this short review with the word that spontaneously escaped me when it was announced: “Why?”
Industria is a nice first person shooter with an interesting world and one or two memorable moments. But in its entirety, everything felt very aimless and disjointed. Not to mention that I found the shooter gameplay very rudimentary and very little fun. The level design was also very superficial - both in terms of gameplay and visuals. Don't get me wrong: I don't regret my almost five hours. But there would be no real reason for me to recommend the game to anyone. Industria was rather a quickly forgotten game, with few highlights and all the more boredom.
So why is there a successor in development? From a pure player's perspective, I find it difficult to answer this question. The gameplay foundation could definitely do with an update and the worldbuilding definitely has potential. But was Industria really so successful that it was worthwhile for the studio? It seems to be.

Eis que Hal-Life, Bioshock e Fallout entram num bar.
Mesmo com as limitações e alguns problemas técnicos, Industria é uma obra criativa e com um final mega aberto. Doido pra jogar a sequência disso aqui!

Industria is a really short and rather uneven adventure that presents a lot of great ideas, but doesn't really provide a conclusion to any of them. This feels like a really great first chapter in a longer game.
I did like it but overall the experience will be mixed for many. I think if it focused on its mystery more and provided a concrete resolution to its story this would have been an easy recommend. As it stands it's more of a "maybe check it out on sale" and that's a shame because what's here is really good.

While it looks pretty good, it's impressive what the small team created and it has some great inspirations it ultimately couldn't win me over. There are a lot of ideas none are really fleshed out, the combat is too easy, enemies and environments are too generic, even though they look good.

Mittelmässiges Gunplay jedoch erfüllt es seinen zweck, Die Gegnervielfalt ist aber ziemlich gering, und sie laufen dir meistens nur entgegen. Die Grafik ist ganz gut für ein Indiespiel, und trägt zur Atmosphäre bei. Die Story ist nichts besonderes aber auch nicht schlecht.
Extremely strong start gives way to EXTREMELY samey combat, and way too much of it
I did have WR on speedrun.com for this game. Good game.
A functional shooter, very rare for an indie game. Rather washed-out looking at times, like a lot of photoreal indie games are, as if the exposure and lighting were beyond their skill. Still, it builds an atmospheric space and engagingly strings you along it, which is all I ask for.
The game would be pretty okay, but it is so unoptimized that I can barely enjoy it.
Dieses Spiel hat starke Tendenzen zum Survival-Horror, besonders durch die teils stockdunklen Passagen, die mit einer Lampe erhellt werden müssen. Zudem habe ich es auf dem Hardcore-Schwierigkeitsgrad durchgespielt, also konnte ich nur an sehr spärlich platzierten Schreibmaschinen speichern.
Ressourcenknappheit war auch ein sehr stressiger, aber durchaus spannender Teil des Gameplays – Batterien, Munition und Heilflaschen waren sehr rar, was bei mir weitere Horror-Assoziationen geweckt hat, die ich im Vorhinein nicht erwartet habe. Generell war die ständige Angst vor der nächsten Ecke oder Treppe in düsteren Innenräumen ein nennenswerter Bestandteil meines Spieldurchgangs.
Für mich war die Story leider ein wenig unverständlich, das Ende kam auch sehr abrupt und hat keinerlei Fragen geklärt.
Die Maps waren oft gerade so fertiggestellt worden und abseits des Hauptpfads nur sehr spärlich eingerichtet. Grafisch ist es sehr ansprechend für ein Indiespiel, das Raytracing ist da noch ein netter Bonus, der mal mehr, mal weniger ins Gewicht fällt. Der Gegner-Stil erinnert teilweise an Bioshock, die Umgebung hingegen sehr an Half-Life 2. Besonders schön fand ich die Zugfahrten und den bedrohlich rötlichen Lichtschein der Lampen auf manchen Gegnern in stockdunklen Treppenhäusern.
Zuletzt noch zum allerschwächsten Glied der Bewertungskette – der Technik. Die Performance des Spiels ist generell extrem bescheiden, sobald Raytracing an ist, ich konnte nur dann 60+ FPS erreichen, wenn ich DLSS auf High Performance gestellt habe, was einige feinere Texturen verschwommen aussehen lässt, was ich aber noch verkraften konnte. Nicht auszuhalten waren jedoch die mittendrin fehlenden Übersetzungen, fehlenden Wörter, Wortdopplungen und generell Glitches überall – eine ganze Szenerie lang musste ich z. B. laute Geräuschen von im Boden steckenden Ragdolls ertragen, die trotz erneutem Laden nicht verschwanden.
Insgesamt also ganz knapp vor der Negativ-Wertung, aber durch das gute Gun- und Gameplay eine Überlegung wert.

Um game curto mas que junta várias das coisas que eu mais gosto, Bioshock, Immersive Sim, Half Life até um conceito meio David Lynch. Eu adorei Industria que já estava no meu radar a muito tempo e finalmente pude jogar. Adorei tanto que fui atrás da platina e consegui!
Bir bilgenin de dediği gibi.
"Industria bir hataydı..."
"Industria bir hataydı..."
the highlight of the industria was no doubt the traversing through the city gates towards the countryside. a long train ride, somber and quiet, gazing around you as the environment changes. collapsing down too the narrative of your pursuit of your lost love with brent's own love lost. delicately done, the pace of the ride giving us enough to feel a duration of time, and the freedom of our camera left me to look behind me once i had past the city gates. i stared at the city as brent's passing words gave momentary hope but greater longing for something else. a regret, maybe, at the thought of leaving.
what is disappointing is the larger framework around this game failing to do much of anything narratively at all. the totality of the game almost spoils the aforementioned moment with its purposeless ambiguities that feel more for the sake of allowing a sequel if the economics aligned.

Super short and pretty buggy, but considering this was made by such a small team I can excuse it. Has some awesome atmosphere and an interesting world and story, would love to see more
Enjoyable little fps experience with some survival horror vibes. I liked this one a lot. The environments are cool, and pretty, I found the story interesting and enjoyable. The guns all sound and shoot nice, decent enemy variety for a short game. Only ran into one bug at the very beginning of the game, otherwise smooth sailing. That said, as I mentioned the game is VERY short, it works for what they did, but I would definitely recommend waiting on a sale. I looks forward to the sequel and seeing on how they improve on this and how the story progress.
I'm just so glad that a studio out there took such clear inspiration from the Half-Life franchise, and yet it's almost like a curse upon this game. I just couldn't stop making comparisons in my head and wishing I was playing Half-Life 2 again instead.
Not the be too harsh with this either, it's actually quite impressive what such a small team was able to achieve, especially as a first project. There's a lot to appreciate here. Some environments and set pieces are simply gorgeous, the gunplay is relatively fun and there's some great artistic/dreamy sequences sprinkled throughout the game.
On the other hand, the pacing is way off. You unlock almost all of your weapons in a 20 minutes timeframe, making you go from "guy with an axe" to "fully geared up army man". Since the game lets you know how many empty weapon slots you have left, it's clear that there's not much waiting for you in term of progression pass the 1 hour mark.
The fight encounters are also weirdly balanced. Sometimes you'll be fighting 2-3 enemies at once, and sometimes the game will throw 25 enemies at you, seemingly out of nowhere. There should be nothing wrong with this, but it's just not satisfying. You don't have a gravity gun or any other creative tool/skill to make each encounter unique. So you'll just spam your guns and alternate between them when they are out of ammo. There's some explosive barrels here and there so the devs clearly thought of some other ways to approach the fight, but it's just not enough.
The story, I'm sorry to say, is not really griping and the ending will leave you with more question than answers. Things also seemed to have been rushed in the last 20 minutes unfortunately.
The music is passable, even pretty at times on its own, but I felt like it rarely meshed well with the game itself. It's a weird feeling, like I just re-listened to some of the songs on Spotify and liked a lot of them, but never felt like they enhanced the experience while I was playing.
There's other thing floating in my mind but I'll stop there. Still glad I tried it, I'm wishing for more stuff with similar inspirations and references in the future. Also saw that the devs of this game are teasing something new on Twitter so I'll surely be on the lookout for whatever project they'll release in the future.

I’ll be honest, I really liked the game, it has an incredible atmosphere, beautiful graphics and decorations, the plot is almost arthouse, I had to read some of the dialogues and notes in the game itself again to understand what’s what.
if atomic heart is the russian bioshock then this is the german atomic heart.
nice setting and art style, good shooting with a more than decent gunplay and fell of the guns, but also way too short and confusing in narration

Loved the first 15 minutes, exploring a piece of pre-reunification East Germany, recreated with loving attention to detail, was wonderful. Unfortunately the gameplay has strong "We have Bioshock at home" energy and the plot goes nowhere fast
An indie descendant of Half Life 2. A great first attempt for a first time team. A great foundation to build on.
Unfortunately one of the achievements (complete hardcore mode) is bugged and does not look like it will be fixed which is really disappointing.

I understand that it is an indie game and it does have an attractive premise, but the game is not very good due to all the rough edges. The game is infested with bugs and can be borderline impossible to play at times.
When it works the game is alright, but nothing to go out of your way and deal with the numerous bugs.

Mmmm, it's a lil bit stinky
Bebe mucho no, muchísimo de Half Life. Mientras jugaba no podía dejar de acordarme del juego de Valve, lo cual es bueno, y a la vez malo. Fuera de eso la ambientación está muy lograda, te sientes indefenso ante los robots con frecuencia, y en general me ha resultado agradable. Bastante corto, eso si.
huh, there are some moments that make me think back at Half Life 2, but then I want to play Half Life 2 instead... I can really appreciate the game as a passion project and I liked the voice acting and some of the scenery, but gameplay wise this is rather rough and basic.
Industria is such a clear passion project by a tiny team, so its really hard to be upset with the final result. It's a love letter to Bioshock and Half-Life and it functions as a pretty short little FPS campaign that offers a cool 3-5 hour experience, with a side serving of jank. Unfortunately, I do think it has a few too many issues for me to give it a higher rating, but this is one of the highest 3 star scores I've given.
Combat wise, the game is actually decent, and while the encounters are never that complex, the fact that each enemy has a weakness you can figure out through experimentation is cool to see for such a small game. I decided to play on the "Hardcore" difficulty, which gives you less resources, less health, and only allows you to save when you find a typewriter. And for my money, this is the way to play since its short and isn't really that hard to begin with. The lack of saves actually offered some tense moments, and the constant conservation of flashlight batteries helped make the experience feel a bit more dynamic. This is also helped by the exploration being decent, as there are a few times where you can straight up miss a typewriter if you didn't explore the whole area. And while most of the gameplay is survival horror style, there are about 3 fully combat focused sections. 2 of which I think are actually solid, and then 1 of which has an unbelievably stupid design choice that is very frustrating. Thankfully its only one section, but when the game is only 3-5 hours long, it does stand out a bit more.
Visually, Industria has a really cool robo-dystopian vibe and it does a great job incorporating eastern European architecture into a futuristic setting. The game also features several raytracing settings, which is nice to see in such a small game. Unfortunately, these settings do come at the cost of very inconsistent performance, ranging anywhere from 40-120fps with RTX on (Running on a 2080 and Ryzen 5800x at 1440p). As a result, I opted to mostly play without RT just to make things consistent, but the ambient occlusion and shadows are noticeably a bit worse that way. However even with RT enabled, the indirect lighting is basically non-existent which is a bit disappointing to see, especially since large portions take place indoors.
From a narrative standpoint... yeah its there I guess. It's just pretty vague sci-fi mumbo jumbo that isn't really explained or developed much, since the game is so short. It's not bad, and there are a few interesting plot points and ideas but it's so sparse that its kinda impossible to feel much of a connection to it after only 4 hours. It's better than nothing, but I won't be recalling Nora's emotional journey any time soon.
For what it's worth though, I think the devs managed to craft a very competent experience that is certainly worth checking out if you're a fan of the style. It's rough around the edges, and suffers as a whole from it's short runtime, but like I said in the opening, it's really hard to be upset with this, considering this small team was barely able to even get it released. So for that, I applaud their efforts, and I'm now even more excited to see if Atomic Heart can tackle some of that Bioshock vibe we've been missing.

For such a short game, I do have a lot to say on this. The game feels like a child of Half-Life and BioShock, not really in all gameplay aspects for either, but in tone and setup. Gameplay is mixed primarily of FPS segments, platforming, with some basic puzzle solving. I have to give kudos for this game being one to put me on edge a lot. Ammo and health is so scarce that I always felt like I was just getting through.
In the end though, the game has major flaws. It's short, absurdly short. I finished it in around two and a half hours. This hurts the game in more ways than one because of how many questions are left unanswered. This feels like it should have more, but it doesn't.
Do not buy this game full price. Effort is clearly there, but this game has zero replay value and again, is absurdly short. I highly recommend picking it up on sale though.

A walking simulator with puzzles and shooting.
During my first half hour of Industria, I assumed this was just a simple walking simulator. While the game has difficulty levels, the game is mostly about exploration and even in the later sections, it appears exploration is the goal of the game. As time goes on there are puzzles and enemies but nothing that would be too hard, at least this early.
However this is a 4 hour game, and people do say on harder difficulties the AI is still very easy. The story is interesting at first, but after teleporting to another world the narrative didn’t grab me as much as being in Berlin as the Wall was being torn down.
Pick this up if you are up for shooting, puzzles, and a lot of walking. I imagine this will appeal to some people, but after an hour I wasn’t feeling a strong desire to return. I know this is made by a small team, but I feel like the story is the place that could have been enhanced, and I similarly wonder if the shooting was necessary

At one point in the middle of my playthrough, I had a thought about what kind of people the developers of this game are. My conclusion back then is that they're a bunch of good ordinary folk looking to fill a hole in the world. The thing is, games like Industria are quite rare these days. A slower paced singleplayer FPS game in the year 2021 would stand out easily, as the market is simply filled with wacky crazy fast paced shooters. Industria certainly does a decent job of filling the void, despite having more than enough flaws to warrant descriptions such as "janky", "low budget" and "unpolished."
The story is... weird. It does have a strong emotional moment near the end, and the ending makes it more interesting, but overall it's nothing worth thinking too much about. It's quite a short game (4 hours), and the story felt decent enough to engage through that timespan.
The game takes place in mostly urban levels, and you'll be using your flashlight often since it can be quite dark at times. The level design is just fine for the most part. There's an occasional feeling of things being too spaced out or empty, but that's it. There's barely any unique models which makes the environments (especially indoors) feel samey.
Gunplay feels very loose, as most of the enemies you'll fight will attack in melee range. The guns here feel more like a luxury, as there's barely enough ammo to use against all the enemies. You're encouraged to use your pickaxe to save ammo, and save the guns for when things get chaotic. Enemy variety is not great, since as said before, most of them don't use guns. I guess they do it to hide the weak gunplay. The overall difficulty is good, as you won't be feeling too comfortable at any point, but it's also not too punishing.
Graphically it looks decent on PS5. It's certainly not an AAA game. The game runs okay for the most part, although at the time of writing, there's an alarming level of model pop-ins. Also, The feedback of shooting your guns is just okay, although the sound effects are pretty good.
At this point, I realize that the game sounds more bad than good, but it is what it is. It's one of those games where you know it's not very well made, but you still enjoy it a lot. Like I said before, the game felt like it's made by a bunch of good folk doing their best. It might not be worth $20 for most people, but at a discount, it's worth the shot.

PROS
+ Interatividade absurda com o cenário
+ Armas que soam muito bem e são muito boas de usar
+ Ambientação fantástica e bastante única
CONTRAS
- História Fraca
- Combate Corpo a Corpo péssimo
- Variedade baixa de Inimigos
- Personagens sem motivação e mal explorados
- Péssima otimização
O Jogo é uma experiência bem diferente de muita coisa que eu joguei, se inspira fortemente em Half-Life e isso fica visível durante muitos momentos do jogo, mas a curta duração e a falta de motivação dos personagens junto com a péssima otimização (RTX 2070 e I7 10700K chegando a 15fps em momentos sem nenhum inimigo) dificultam bastante a experiência, se o jogo ficar por volta de 15~20 reais, pegue e aproveite a experiência que o jogo proporciona mas não espere o Half Life 3, uma experiência que demonstra o quão promissor a desenvolvedora é
