This is a science fiction action game with gameplay similar to
Bioshock in that it’s a mix of exploration, simple puzzle solving, and combat. Most of the game is very straightforward in that you only have one direction to go, one door to open, and so on. You will occasionally have to go hunt down a lever or push a button to get a door open, and then it gets more complicated when you need to use your special powers to get past simple obstacles that purposefully limit your mobility.
You have a device in the game that lets you move objects and manipulate their age, and this comes into play several times while getting through parts of the game. For example, there are a couple of times when you find a garage door that is stuck, so you have to get a box and crush it with the device, then place it under the jammed door and fix the box back to original size to push the garage door up. There are several occasions where you will need boxes to climb up toward things in order to continue forward, but most of the time it is really obvious what needs to be done.
Combat in the game comes sporadically and there are several big battle scenes where you need to take out small armies of soldiers or monsters. There are also a couple of boss fights that are fun, but not very difficult. I finished them on the first try just by using basic attack and defend type strategies of waiting for a chance to hit and then backing out of the way for the big monster to take a swing. The gunfights you get into with other soldiers are pretty fun and you have to take your time to get through them by finding cover and waiting for a clear shot.
