With its stunning presentation, brilliant writing and engaging gameplay, Dispatch is one of the best interactive narrative games ever made. It's impossible to play this without growing to love its characters.
Dispatch is a genuine delight from start to finish. Aside from the minor (and as of this writing, now irrelevant) nag of having to wait for the entire "season" to be done, I can't think of any strong complaints. The characters are fun and likable, the plot is pretty darn enjoyable, and it's probably the most fun Telltale-style game I've ever played. Add to that the fun dispatch-themed gameplay, and you've got something that's firing on all cylinders. If the crude humor and concept don't turn you off, Dispatch is a must-play for any superhero fans.
Dispatch isn’t memorable for its plot twists or a perfectly structured narrative — it’s the quiet, fleeting moments that truly define it. When Robert brings that extra drink to win over the club’s guard, or when Invisigal’s jealous gaze cuts through the smoke and music, the game captures something raw and human. AdHoc’s artistic direction is nothing short of stunning, hinting at a studio capable of greatness. But before it reaches that height, it needs to find a story and gameplay that live up to its visual ambition.

For fans of dialogue-driven adventures, this is a must-play, and you'll finish it with a genuinely satisfying feeling.

An episodically released adventure, both masterfully written and expertly performed, proving there is still ample space and potential for the genre's renaissance.

Dispatch is the perfect example that superhero stories can still captivate us. It has a plot full of hilarious moments and unexpected twists that you can shape with your choices. On top of that, there's a more strategic side that brings you even closer to its charismatic characters. In summary, the game developed by AdHoc Studio is another gem of 2025.

Dispatch is at its best when you treat it like a full season instead of a series of individual episodes. The draw isn’t action, it’s the characters, the relationships between them, and how your decisions carry forward over time. Sending heroes out, dealing with the fallout, and managing team dynamics keeps things engaging, even when the gameplay itself stays fairly contained. If you’re in it for a story that develops steadily across its episodes, it’s a solid experience from start to finish.
Dispatch is a game that speaks straight to the heart of anyone who loves superhero stories and well‑written interactive adventures. It’s not perfect, nor is it revolutionary in terms of gameplay, but it manages to take a genre that seemed in crisis and breathe new life into it, striking an excellent balance between its management layer and a compelling, emotional narrative, memorable characters, and moral choices that truly weigh on the story. The team at AdHoc Studio has managed to transform the genre into something more mature and layered, also showing the potential of this kind of experience when it’s built around fully original productions rather than licensed properties.

All in all, Dispatch is a delight. It uses an entertaining cast, superb presentation, and quick pacing to provide a thoroughly engaging story that is further backed up by highly enjoyable gameplay elements. For those looking for a fun narrative adventure, Dispatch easily rockets up to the top of the recommendation list.
Dispatch is a masterful evolution of the narrative adventure genre, proving that the heart of superhero stories lies in human consequences rather than just spectacle. AdHoc Studio has crafted a tense, visually stunning workplace thriller elevated by a legendary voice cast—including Aaron Paul and Jeffrey Wright—and a clever 'dispatch' mechanic that gives genuine weight to every decision. It is a sharp, mature, and deeply affecting experience that stands as the definitive spiritual successor to the Telltale legacy.

Dispatch is a vibrant narrative adventure that channels the spirit of classic Telltale storytelling. Centered on the grounded yet compelling Mecha Man, it offers a character-driven experience filled with meaningful choices, sharp voice acting, and a refreshing presentation style. While it nails emotional dynamics and voice performances, uneven pacing and gameplay repetition occasionally dull its impact. Still, fans of episodic storytelling will find plenty to enjoy in this heartfelt debut.
AdHoc Studio bets on the episodic format to tell the story of a fallen hero, in charge of managing a group of villains who try to do things better.

While the gameplay itself is superficial, Dispatch is a surprisingly funny and poignant debut that shows great potential.
Still, despite some minor complaints about the ending, I had an absolute blast with each episode of Dispatch. For the last few weeks, checking out the new episodes has become a part of my Wednesday schedule that I couldn’t wait for and now that the game is over I’m going to miss it next Wednesday. With excellent characters, an interesting world, and a mostly satisfying conclusion, my only real complaints are that I wanted more of it. More room to develop the plot and more of the interesting gameplay. Hopefully it won’t be too terribly long before we get more of Dispatch.
The new work from AdHoc Studio and Critical Role is an adventure that arrives in the right place at the right time, just as you would expect from a superhero managed at its best by the SDN.

Dispatch is an episodic and interactive superhero adventureDispatch is an episodic and interactive superhero adventure game about building up a ragtag team of reformed villains. Windows PC version reviewed. A copy of the game was provided by the publisher.
At the core, Dispatch tells a tale of humanity, togetherness, and teamwork. It does so with immense quality across the board. From beginning to end, right down to a satisfying conclusion that both leaves space for expansion of these characters and the universe, but also works fantastically as a one-off narrative adventure.
