Industria is a 2021 first-person shooter video game developed by Bleakmill and published by Headup Games for Windows, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. Set in East Berlin during the Cold War, the player assumes the role of Nora, a young woman who is plunged into a mysterious parallel dimension while searching for her missing colleague and lover, Walter. Industria places a heavy focus on world-building, exploration and atmosphere.[4][5]

Reception[edit]

Industria received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic[6][7], with a 64% top critic average on review aggregator website OpenCritic[9].

Negative reviews were focused on the amount of technical issues in the game, including performance, bugs, and crashes, as well as the slow and clunky combat. The gameplay was also found to be at times dull, with a lack of variety of weapons and enemies. Critics also noted the short length of the game, totalling around 5-7 hours.[5][3]

The atmosphere, art-direction and environments were praised, however, with comparisons made to video games such as Half-Life 2 and Bioshock[5][10][3]
