    Already I can tell that the combat is rather clunky, and that some of the investigation mechanics are sort of half baked, as opposed to a game like Criminal Origins. Nevertheless, I believe that it is a solid game because of an interesting story and character, and manages to do something very well that isn't found in a lot of games; it immerses you. I want to find out what happens next, I don't want to put my controller down, even though the game isn't perfect. I think that its shortcomings are made up for because it only costs thirty bucks. If the trailer seems interesting and you like a linear story, I highly recommend.    … Expand

    I really enjoyed this game but there are some issues that kept it from getting a higher score. The biggest problem I have is the game punishing you for using all the weapons you work so hard collecting. The forced stealth that is so difficult when you can't really see and can't use devices to help you see without losing your map. Worst of all are the choices to get the "good" endingI really enjoyed this game but there are some issues that kept it from getting a higher score. The biggest problem I have is the game punishing you for using all the weapons you work so hard collecting. The forced stealth that is so difficult when you can't really see and can't use devices to help you see without losing your map. Worst of all are the choices to get the "good" ending which is almost identical to the "bad" ending. In my opinion these endings should be reversed, I think the bad ending is a more just outcome. Really, don't waste your time going for the "good " ending unless you need the gamer score because I think you might be really mad for putting in all that effort for such a slight change. Overall for the price this is better than most full priced games so you will get value for your money. One more thing, be careful not to explore too far off the beaten track as you will get stuck in the environment and have to reload but the game does have a good check point system so this isn't too big a deal.. Basically a good game that could have been much better.… Expand

    W Get Even wystarczyło mi zaledwie kilka minut, by zanurzyć się w opowieść. . Klimat gry jest po prostu świetny, podkreślany przez genialną oprawę audio.

    Get Even is a winner, and if you like film noir, dark crime stories and/or games that make you think, then you need to check it out.

    Good ideas are drowned out by a confusing story and frustrating controls. [Sept 2017, p.72]

    For its running time Get Even is certainly not a walking simulator or walk in the park. It takes 16-19 hours to complete the game, depending on the player’s willingness to sweep every nook and cranny for all the clues. But Get Even is not an action game either. It’s a mixed bag really. It’s problematic with its identity, reaching out in different directions and jumping all over the place but in the end, it’s this blurred identity which is the focal point of the game. For those who have the stamina to go for the full length of it all, Get Even is a disjointed, schizophrenic, exhausting but ultimately rewarding experience.
