Game review: Republique

4:31 pm on 22 May 2015

Score: 6/10

Republique is an episodic stealth game set in a dystopian society. You play a hacker who is aiding the escape of Hope, a young woman trapped in this world. Though the games attempt to deal with heavy themes is not particularly successful, there is still a lot of fun to be found in exploration and story.

Pros:
Engaging exploration
Intriguing story

Cons:
Heavy-handedness
Stilted movement
Reality undermined by unnecessary elements
