INDUSTRIA Reviews
While Industria’s atmosphere certainly nailed what it was going for, the monotonous gameplay and rushed story left me dissatisfied. Still, I loved the ambiance and backdrop, and I wouldn’t mind if Bleakmill took another crack at it – the rest of this world just needs a few more cogs added to its machine.
Industria is a narrative "shooter" with a good setting and an interesting story, but its virtues are spoiled because of an irregular technical section, situations that are repeated and short duration.

Industria is not exactly a memorable first person shooter, being limited in terms of gameplay also due to some very questionable game design choices. The Bleakmill shooter is instead appreciable for a fascinating dystopian atmosphere, thanks to which it manages to reach a full sufficiency.

Industria takes inspiration from title like Bioshock and Half-Life, featuring a fantastic story with some decent gunplay and puzzles as well.
Industria lacks polish and isn't very long, but it's a well-made, interesting first-person shooter created with some clear talent.
INDUSTRIA is not a bad game, it is even rather not bad for a first try, especially with only two people behind.

Industria is a shooter that focuses on its narrative component and that offers the best in situations of pure survival, claustrophobic and perpetually outnumbered.

Industria is rough around the edges, but its solid world, world-building, and storytelling are still worth experiencing.
The shooting mechanics might not be as refined or satisfying as other FPS games on the market, but they get the job done. If you don’t mind the short length and minor technical issues, INDUSTRIA is a fairly enjoyable experience that you can complete in a single session.
As developer Bleakmill’s debut title, Industria offers an interesting premise for a surreal game that warrants a sequel.
Considering the 4-hour gameplay time and price tag, the cookie can be called a game. You can still expect some more discounts.

INDUSTRIA makes a strong start and raises a range of questions that follow its strange events but fail to take advantage of these elements and end puzzlingly without answering most of those questions.

Industria could be a very interesting game, but it lacks depth, length, fun gunplay and a proper ending.

While not without its flaws, Industria offers a nice bite-sized experience with enough lore to keep you wanting to discover more.
With a patch or two, Industria could be a game well worth investing in now that it’s available on consoles as well as PC. But at the moment, some frustrating issues mean only the most patient players might see it through, even through it’s not particularly long. Exploring a bleak parallel world is intriguing for sure, but when the controls feel like they’re fighting against you and the save system is overly punishing, much of your drive to proceed is lost.
With such banal gameplay, we turn to the narrative here for hope and, even though it kicks off in a promising manner, it very soon crumbles and fades away, with a nonsensical and very abrupt ending that left us shaking our heads and wondering what on earth the point was. Coming from a small dev team of just six people, there's still things to admire here; Industria nails the vibe it's going for, there's some terrific music and it looks superb in places, there's no doubt a lot of effort has gone into this certain aspects of this project. However, none of this is enough to smooth over the fact that this is a tediously dull, monotonous, and derivative game that offers up absolutely nothing of any real worth in terms of story or mechanics.
In INDUSTRY we will get into the shoes of Nora, a scientist who travels to a parallel world in search of her colleague Walter and of answers that can tell her what has happened to the people of that place. A compliant FPS whose best asset is to remind us of the great Half Life.

Industria looks decent, has a lot of interesting ideas for itself. However, this does not change the fact that this is a title for one evening.

Industria doesn’t outstay its welcome, but it could have done with more narrative meat on its bones, especially for the ending. It sets up a fascinating world I was interested to learn about, and left me eager for more. The shooting is nicely satisfying and the robot design is appropriately unnerving, meaning the dark hallways of the buildings of Hakavik always felt atmospheric and spooky. It needs some more patches to make the performance adequate, but I will be very interested to see what Bleakmill does next. I hope we’ll return to the world of Industria in the future.
