Critic Reviews for [REDACTED]
[REDACTED] takes the world of Callisto Protocol into a brand-new genre for an experience that roguelike fans will surely spend hours conquering.
Unfortunately for Redacted, probably the biggest thing working against it is its release date. The game comes out on October 31, right on the heels of Hades 2's Olympic update. However, should you get bored of Melinoe, Redacted is a great substitute with fresh ideas.
With a colorful art style and roguelike hooks, Redacted has little in common with The Callisto Protocol besides a shared setting, yet it's a similarly uneven experience.
Redacted may borrow heavily from Hades, but it has enough of its own personality to stand out in an increasingly crowded genre.
Redacted ain't no lazy Hades clone, instead it offers an experience that is unique amongst the crowded Roguelike genre. Put up with the steep difficulty and slow progress and you'll experience an immensely enjoyable game, one that is cram-packed with slick combat and brilliant characters.
[REDACTED] is a great Hades-inspired roguelite that wants to introduce new elements to stand out from the crowd and ends up throwing a spanner in the works on its own. Forget the race for freedom against rivals, and we will have an excellent dungeon crawler on our hands with a bunch of weapons and uniforms to unlock to tear zombies, monsters and bosses apart in an increasingly brutal way. Let's try to rely on the clashes with the other fugitives, and we will be disappointed. The gameplay formula is still relatively fresh, the artistic sector is excellent, so let's launch into this new ordeal without caring too much about originality.

Redacted has all the addictive core elements of an enjoyable roguelike: a good variety of weapons, abilities, and synergies with a well-polished presentation. The racing rivals and random events keep runs feeling fresh, although its comparatively short runtime and relatively lackluster melee combat prevent it from being one of the greatest.
Fun and invigorating, [REDACTED] is a good bet on the roguelite formula and delivers a recommended game for anyone looking for something like this. It may not be as refined or with excess content to last for a long time, but it's a good bet on style.
