Bought this game on disc in 2026 and could STILL redeem the included code plus it came with SiN gold! That alone is worth a positive review but it helps it's also a real fun game! Since ritual is dead (RIP) hopefully nightdive can come back to this series, I want more! Give us Episode 2!!!

I don't know whether or not I'd truly call it a bad game but emergence still doesn't really have that much going for it in my opinion, both on its own terms and in the many areas where it heavily borrows from half-life 2 beyond just sharing the same engine to where it is essentially a clone as others have pointed out from the story beats/storytelling to the main aesthetic to the combat flow to some the characters and...

I understand the desire to not completely copy Half-Life 2 despite being built on the same engine. However, taking every gameplay element and somehow making it worse seems like an achievement of its own.

I bought this second-hand a long time ago, right when steam was starting. Didn't know I couldn't activate it without buying it again. Heh. Anyway, these long years later, I finished the first game, and decided to play the failed sequel. Wow, this game is garbage. Every minute is excruciating. I simply can't bear to play long enough to get past the prologue. Do yourself a favor, and just walk away. Garbage.

Pretty decent game, the amount of machinegun npcs on the last 2 levels are ridiculous though (which is due to their dynamic difficulty system) Shame we'll never get that episode 2.

I know people compare it unfavorably to Half-Life 2 but there was something cool here. I wish they got to continue the story; but I guess that's what happens with these episodic games. Very good presentation and some fun shooting. It's a very short run-time, but that's to be expected with only 1 episode. Because of that though it's definitely worth playing. Stock-generic weapons but again this was supposed to be the...

Fun game. Shame it never had the expected sequels. I liked this more than the original Sin game, felt it plays better.

While it could very easily be described as just "A Half Life 2 clone but with boobs", there is still a lot here to enjoy, the game has an incredibly interesting atmosphere, even just the menu music alone gets that point across, the character designs are pretty stylish, it manages to have a quite engaging story for the first half, although it did get a little mediocre towards the end, overall its a very unique game,...
