Nobody Wants to Die Reviews
Nobody Wants to Die is yet anoher great narrative-driven game, similar to 2023’s The Invincible. And it is another proof that „walking simulators” shouldn’t be ignored – they are fit to tell great tales like no other genre. But remember – there is little gameplay here.

Nobody Wants to Die has a lot of smart political and philosophical thoughts that relate to what's happening today. There's a lot of intrigue and spotting all the Greek Mythology references is exciting, alluding to the story at hand. However, the crime scene gameplay can get repetitive and frustrating, as the story feels like it's on rails. It's nice to be able to play a game you can't fail, but it feels odd that there's a heightened sense of danger that just… never comes. Introducing elements like quick-time events late in the game and without accessibility options for them is disappointing. Even still, the game is gorgeous and watching a friendship bloom with the two main characters is great to see.
While Nobody Wants to Die doesn't really emphasize its gameplay as much, in turn, it offers up a story that is an absolute joy to experience, thanks in no small part to its well-realized cyberpunk world and well-written characters.
Nobody Wants To Die is a strong detective thriller that does great work in immersing players in its dystopic-as-ever vision of near-future New York. While the gameplay loop is ambitious, a lacking protagonist and a gameplay concept that spreads itself too thin ultimately keeps Nobody Wants To Die from realising the full extent of it's potential. Regardless, it's an incredible-looking, amazingly atmospheric debut from a studio whom I can't wait to see more from.

Fantastic debut of Critical Hit Games. Nobody Wants to Die is not a revolution by any means, but every part of it made with passion, talent and excellence.

Nobody Wants to Die delivers an exceptional cinematic cyberpunk experience with a compelling story, rich themes, and well-developed characters. However, it falls down short due to repetitive, hand-holding gameplay that features some intriguing but underdeveloped ideas.

Given its low price, Nobody Wants to Die may be worth checking out for the visual style and unique atmosphere, but the basic gameplay and underwhelming story make for a forgettable adventure.
Even if it is not so comprehensive in terms of gameplay, Nobody Wants to Die delivers a rich plot in a fantastic universe full of potential. The investigative adventure in retrofuturistic New York stands out for its excellent story and interesting characters.

Its impressive world is enjoyable to explore and the story kept me interested enough to see it to its conclusion although it is very linear and the writing could definitely be improved. 🕵️♂️
Nobody Wants to Die is a hidden gem and a pleasant surprise this hot summer, with a raw, direct narrative that immerses you in a disturbing cyberpunk noir world. However, the overly guided and linear gameplay is a downside.

Despite a few issues that will bother some players more than others such as game length, some quality-of-life issues, or linearity, Nobody Wants To Die is a great first game for a new studio. Overall, the game is a beautiful and interesting world with stellar voice acting. With so much good here at an affordable price it’s easy to recommend for a gritty futuristic Noir experience.

For fans of detective stories, dystopian futures, and immersive narratives, this game is a must-play. It’s a thought-provoking, visually stunning, and emotionally gripping experience that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
Nobody Wants to Die is an adventure game that puts us in the whiskey-stained shoes of James Karra, a hard-boiled detective living in a dystopian future where nobody really dies. The Polish guys from Critical Hit have debuted with a bang, offering us an enthralling story that, when it allows us to play, also surprises us with some excellent gameplay solutions. We can only recommend that you delve into the technological and philosophical mysteries of Nobody Wants to Die!

NoBody Wants to Die is an interesting Tech-noir experience. First, it is a visual masterpiece with amazing art direction and graphics, perhaps the best of the generation, supported by a good story with a great world building and a good choice system that serves the idea of the story, and with a good investigative gameplay style and a very enjoyable use of tools that reinforce the idea of playing the role of an investigator. What is wrong with this game is the exaggerated linearity without giving the player any room for improvisation.
