Project Eden is a sci-fi-themed squad-based 1st/3rd person action adventure from the creators of the original Tomb Raider. In the game you actually control a team of 4 members of the UPA (Urban Protection Agency) - an elite force which deals with serious disturbances within the city, switching between them as needed. The team is initially called in to investigate problems at the "Real Meat" factory, in which all the equipment has started to simultaneously malfunction. Technicians sent to repair the machinery have gone missing without explanation... Here begins The UPA's sinister trail of inquiry. The characters each have specific skills: the leader, Carter, can open certain doors, Amber is a fully armoured cyborg able to withstand all sorts of hazardous environments such as lethal gas, hot steam and electrically charged water, Minoko baby (20 years old) is able to hack computer terminals to override security doors etc, and the last team's engineer Andre can repair damaged electrical devices. That sounds almost like a RPG, but it isn't, because the skills don't develop, and their actual implementation is marginally creative and a little frustrating. Don't expect much action here, puzzle solving is far and away the majority of gameplay. So if you expect shooting, you will be disappointed pretty soon, because combat was not implemented as well as the puzzles. Simply, combat is very boring. Instead Core tried to make this game easy playable (though I don't think it's easy playable rather at times frustratingly difficult) for example you cannot break the game by doing things in the wrong order, your characters automatically climb (there is no jump button), you cannot even properly die - if a character dies, it take a few seconds to regenerate at the last Regen Pod you passed. Overall, Project Eden is quite enjoyable game, especially for these who likes action adventures with tons of puzzles. Download playable demo (22.8MB).
