The verdict
A striking noir interactive comic with a timely dystopian story, but the shooting and platforming are clunky and repetitive, and it's short. Skip it if you want real gameplay depth.
Great for
Comic and graphic-novel fans who want a short, story-driven dystopian experience, ideally bought on sale
Main risk
Gameplay is clunky, repetitive and shallow, so you may be bored between the comic scenes
