Critic Reviews
Umurangi Generation Special Edition Review
Umurangi Generation is a poignant game but is best experienced on anything other than the Switch.
55%Umurangi Generation: Special Edition (Switch) REVIEW – Something Special
Umurangi Generation: Special Edition is a thrilling dive into a world on the brink of collapse, and a singular gaming experience that will stick with you long after you put it down, made only better by the included DLC and quality of life upgrades on the Switch.
95%Umurangi Generation Macro
Umurangi Generation's camera granted players the agency to capture a despairing world and reframe it however they pleased. Macro expands this objective across four profoundly photogenic locales and tosses in a giddying pair of roller skates. Vicious social commentary, newly material to 2020's unique ills, serves as a compliment to Umurangi Generation's existential dread and completes one of the most powerful and relevant games assigned to this cursed year.
