Critic Reviews
An immersive dive into the horrors of Nazi Germany - Through the Darkest of Times review
Not many games have you play the underdog from beginning to end. It’s tense, and each passing day keeps you on edge. You’ll be emotionally invested in trying to keep your members, friends, family, and even strangers safe as you make choices that will shape your life and their future. Although a second playthrough doesn’t hit the same way emotionally as the first, it’s still a fantastic title to understand the heart-wrenching reality of that period.

Through the Darkest of Times is a great way to experience the realities of Nazi Germany and try to resist its evil, but it's definitely not for every kind of player.
