This game deserves a legit 7 but i just give a 10 just to balance those meaningless bad points. Game is too short, ends with a weird -this game is not done- suspense yet it is a beautiful and atmospheric adventure. Give it a try if you especially like psychological thrillers.
I'm not that big puzzle game ****..this game has such a great dark and mysterious atmosphere that I have to give 9/10. I love how you are integrated in the story. ****.
Creepy, atmospheric point and click adventure. Short but challenging, maybe unfairly so. Puzzles are pretty vague and often operate on adventure game logic, so probably just for fans of the genre. I enjoyed my playthrough, but probably only because it came in a bundle. Worth trying out if you happen to already own it.
In the little time I invested in this game, I somehow fell in love with it.
I guess it's my strange fondness of cheap, bizzare, not necessarily too good, video games.
It isn't anything too impressive, your classic low-budget point and click game if you look at it from technical aspects.
Still, 1953 - KGB Unleashed does a good job with creating an atmosphere like no many adventure games do these days. I wouldn't describe it as a "horror" title, but it's definitely eerie and would make you feel isolated and uncomfortably tensed.
The story started a little bland to my taste but it gets interesting. Not stunning, but intriguing enough.
The game usually reveals the story througg notes and reports scattered around you, much more the your traditional dialogues and cutscenes which are almost completely absent in this product.
The puzzles here are clever, a little too clever, and obscure at times. I difinitely wouldn't beat the game without a walkthrough, although I do think it's possible, if only you'd be REALLY persistnet about it. I wasn't.
I've still enjoyed playing it, the little parts I solved on my own and the other parts I solved by reading a walkthrough.
For the current price, it's worth it, if only for the great atmosphere and feeling and the little story it has.
I must warn you though, if you've read this far, the ending kind of ruins it all. No spoilers here, but really, don't expect too much.
This is a game for those who'd appreciate a good atmosphere (getting a little repetitive am i?..), which would really want to take it in, enjoy the exploration and investigation, and wouldn't mind spending 2-3 hours of their time on this unusual adventure.
The game has okay graphics, the puzzles are logical. That's about it. You could pretty much call this game "Bunker Escape" and still make no changes to gameplay. The KGB aren't important at all; all you do in this game is walk around trying to find tiny objects scattered all over the place, read a bunch of mostly useless papers, and solve puzzles that involve more chemistry and mathematics than Stalinism. There isn't really much of a storyline, unless you consider "some guy with a work pass wakes up inside some bunker and tries to leave" a storyline. The ending is even worse. Overall, this game should either be a flash game called "Bunker Escape featuring some pictures of Lenin and Stalin on the walls", or be re-designed to include a more KGB related experience.
Un juego de puzzle que no engancha en absoluto, es aburrido y sin sentido, está completamente en ingles sin subtitular. No gastes el dinero en este juego porque no merece la pena la verdad. Conclusión, no me gusto el juego y no lo recomiendo. (excepto a los que sepan ingles fluido y les encanten los puzzles puros)
