Liberated tells a poignant story through a beautifully drawn series of comics that seamlessly integrates simple but captivating gameplay.
More than the sum of its parts, Liberated tells a rollicking tale with plenty of style. It doesn't run as well as it should do, and it's far from lacking in clichés (some of the "people would rather take selfies than open their eyes" stuff is a little eye-rolling) but it's a fantastic take on a dystopian platformer that avoids the major pitfalls that such games often fall into. With responsive controls, enjoyable shooting and strong level design, Liberated is an atmospheric, absorbing treat and far more than the sum of its parts.

Finally something new and creative. If words like cyberpunk, noir, action-adventure, or graphic novel mean something to you - you should give it a try.

Completely unjustified complaints coming in from some big sites. The game was fantastic!

Liberated is a game with a story more relevant now than ever, and an intriguing comic-book style aesthetic, it’s just a shame that this version comes with way too many bugs and frame-rate issues.
Liberated’s comic gameplay style works very well and the game provides some good entertainment. However, the story and characters are not as well explored as they could have been. If you like political thrillers, then this could scratch that itch for a few hours.
The comic source is staged nicely, but despite the audiovisual appeal, the storytelling doesn’t offer anything exciting and is enhanced by dreary shooter action.
Liberated is something of a mixed bag. Both its gameplay and storytelling are a little too basic to truly be enthralling, even though there are moments that help it come together. Visually the game is very much a success, but underneath the surface there are definitely areas that could be improved.
As much as stylized in presentation and as thought-provoking (story-wise) it wants to be, Liberated falls apart due to its clunky gameplay and uninspiring narrative. With superficial characters in a hollow view of real-world problems it is no surprise the game comes through as a nihilistic and cynical approach thematically. There is potential though. The comic-like presentation needs more robust gameplay and a bold narrative that does not try to please everyone.
Liberated is a great indie game that has truly a deep plot. This plot isn't for everybody but for me it hit the right spot. I don't want to spoiler the plot, since it's rather a short game, but the ending shocked me (I thought it would go the other way). I love the ragdoll in this game, it made me laugh so many times (even with such a deep/dark plot). Visually this game is gorgeous it's clearly visible that the Atomic Wolf spent a lot of time with this indie. Dark visuals goes so well with this type of plot. Also, audio was minimalistic/simplistic, but that's what was so good about it. If the sound was flashy then it would be out of the place, so yup simplicity is good. In my opinion the only negative aspect was that nearly every loading was quite long :/ 9/10

Я бы не назвал эту игру прям революцией, как об этом пишется в описании игры, просто комикс в средней рисовске с средним сюжетом чередуется с 2.5D бродилкой.
В геймплее тоже нет ничего прям уникального, вам надо бегать, стрелять, стелсить, плавать, но реализованы все механики и анимации достаточно плавно и играется приятно.
Обычная средняя игра.

Liberated is a small unique indie game with a fresh idea, it’s story and gameplay are told via a comic book style and it’s really well done. The story is the main focus of this game and it’s excellent, the visuals on the comics are superb. The gameplay in the other hand is kinda mediocre, it’s mostly shoot for the head 2D game but there is some puzzles here and there which is cool and all. The game is not that long anyway it’s 3-4 hours which is kinda sad not gonna lie. Liberated is a unique game, with its take on story telling via comic book style 2D adventure game is done very well, I just wish they added just a bit more gameplay mechanics and more chapters to play. (Good 3/5) Give It A Try!

Resume of this post: the game has potential, but could-'ve been better.
I was excited for this title and saving it. Because it looked like an game with a deep story, but in the end it's hard to enjoy playing it, since the plot sometimes moves fastest than you can understand, and sometimes is just boring as hell.
The comic theme just doesn't work for the game, the narrative is "ok", there aren't any interesting mechanics, graphics in-game are horrible and at the top of my list: it is not a challenging game at all.

It will always get a zero because they are selling two versions of the same game. It **** to buy a game to find out you didn't even get the final version. Also the story and game play **** as well. The story is pure pretension, and really has no point. The gameplay is boring. There is nothing nice to say about this **** game.

Summary Enter an action-adventure game inside a living, hand-drawn comic book. Uncover an alarmingly current cyberpunk reality where human rights are dying away. Take up arms and solve puzzles in a noir rain-soaked city that’s desperate for justice.
