Get Even Reviews
A messy, unfocused mishmash of genres with a few smart ideas.
A trashy, overwrought psychodrama with the odd inspired touch that alternates between simple forensic puzzles and gimmicky gunplay.
In spite of a handful of glitches and aged visuals, Get Even is an inventive and ambitious thriller that makes the most of its sci-fi inspirations
The Farm 51's psychological thriller tells a story you won't forget.
Get Even may be a bit polarizing depending on how you want to approach things in terms of gameplay and what you hope to get out of it, but it's advised that you see it all the way through, as the end result is a highly satisfying game with an engrossing story that delivers in creepy, emotional and thought-provoking moments that helps it stand out, especially with its more subtle presentation of morality in gaming.
Get Even is a true original, of the kind we all too rarely see made with this degree of gloss, and I found it deeply interesting for all its stumbles.
If you're looking for a unique game within the first-person genre, this is definitely it.
Get Even's use of layered sound and even more layered story is unsettling and great, but other awkward mechanics make this psychological thriller a bit less than the sum of some very fine parts.
Get Even excels in ambience (narrative) and sound design, but it's very limited by game mechanics and graphics engine.

Spend enough time with Get Even and you're likely certain to see why it's so arresting. There's something unique and original and intriguing at the core of this game. But hey, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this is just the Stockholm Syndrome talking.
A tangle of technical and gameplay issues often obscure it, but there's some impressive storytelling to be had in this ambitious techno-thriller.
Get Even uses the FPS formula to deliver a touching and deep story. Despite some technical failings, the narrative and the sound make the trip worth to be made.

Get Even is one of the biggest surprises of the year. Very original, and an outstanding story that hooks the player during the whole game.

While it has its flaws, there's a uniqueness to Get Even we rarely see in video games today. Right away, The Farm 51 demonstrates its desire to be different, crossing between genres and actually taking a gamble. While it doesn't always pay off, we're still left with something both intriguing, experimental and, at times, thought provoking.
Playing Get Even is like ongoing brain surgery to change the zones related to memory. And even with some rough edges (the graphics), the sound treatment and the script makes the operation a triumphant success: an unforgettable experience.

Get Even is almost afraid of what it could have been, settling for a more traditional horror experience instead of becoming what it really wants to be. The genre has been healthy in recent months, but a wildly different approach is always welcome and Get Even only accomplishes that in fleeting moments.
If you play games for story and can forgive some forgettable shootouts and visuals, Get Even may someday be a fond memory of yours.
Get Even's ambition has a tendency to outstrip its reach, but it's always worth encouraging games willing to try and push the medium's limits. Slightly uneven gunplay and a few clichéd story beats aside, Get Even is consistently memorable, interesting, and surprising, and for that alone it's worth your time.
Get Even is a psychological thriller that fills your mind with questions and makes you determined to find out the truth – and I certainly had fun uncovering it.
At the end of the day, Get Even took me by surprise. I was expecting a standard FPS and what I got was a strange, intriguing psychological thriller that had just as many puzzles and investigation parts as it did shooting and stealth parts. The storytelling is superb and the overall design is something to really take a look at.
