“Rich story, complex characters, powerful political commentary.”
“Very thought through game, extremely captivating story, amazing graphics and there's so much to do.”
“This truly is a storytelling experience for the ages.”

“The gameplay is not well explained and is awfully repetitive set in a tiny map, the soundtrack and sound assets are decent and get the job done, the story is what you want to make it out to be, the interface is straight to the point, the art is good, the humor is... well memes... nothing special just a little 5 minute laugh or so.”
“Clearly, you're not playing this game because of its gameplay or story, but the sense of humor and gags you'll find all over the place.”
