Hidden Agenda Reviews
A movie dressed like a videogame that fails to retain your attention once you have completed it... And it only lasts for two hours.

Hidden Agenda shows the success of PlayLink. A game developed by Supermassive Games that gathers the best of Until Dawn with a dark story with some funny moments. Great to play with family and friends, since it can have 6 simultaneous players.

Hidden Agenda is an innovative experience that opens up new possibilities in the world of interactive adventures. The title of SuperMassive Games proposes us live a party of crime with friends and influence all together in the history. It is not perfect, but it is a great alternative for entertainment.

If you love choose-your-own-adventure games, Hidden Agenda is compelling enough to make for an evening's entertainment, especially given its price – but it feels more a glimpse of what could be enabled by mobile-connected games in the future, than a showcase of them at the moment.
It's doing something different as part of Play Link, and there is no better studio to do a crime story using this service, even though some of the gameplay elements are a bit dull.
However, someone may not like the primitive gameplay, and the price for a two-hour movie may seem quite high.

This might keep your friends entertained, but they might want something a bit shorter that takes less concentration to enjoy
A novel idea executed competently, but a predictable and short plot and lack of features to entice those playing alone and with one friend bring the experience down.

It's clear that Hidden Agenda has an interesting concept. But this interactive thriller playable with your phone doesn't really fit with the idea of a party game and sometimes feels a bit rushed in terchnical terms and not really memorable.

Playlink doesn't get enough credit.
_____________________________ “The game doesn't manage to create anything resembling tension as you play
Supermassive Games brings players another unique adventure in the multiplayer, action-adventure, thriller Hidden Agenda.
Hidden Agenda has all the trappings of a Supermassive game, but its potential is cut short as Crime Thriller: The Party Game. Stiff animations give the impression that Hidden Agenda was rushed. While the PlayLink technology has potential and does some really cool things by turning your phone into a controller, it also adds unnecessary complications to a game that uses the second screen functionality as more of a gimmick than a core gameplay mechanic. Hidden Agenda is a good game, but is held back from being great by trying to fit it into the party game mold.
Hidden Agenda is a game built to be played with friends, but ultimately I found the most fun in single player. It is also a game made to be finished in one sitting, but I grew to like it more after two playthroughs.
Hidden Agenda is worth a purchase if you like Until Dawn, or if you're a fan of insanely fun couch co-op experiences. PlayLink's incorporation of smartphones may or may not catch on for PlayStation, but it works well for Hidden Agenda and becomes one of the game's strengths.
Hidden Agenda isn't very deep, but it's a fun and creative game that you're going to want to share with all of your friends. It's an interesting showcase of making a typical adventure title into a party experience that takes advantage of the PlayStation's PlayLink platform.
Hidden Agenda is a gritty and intriguing experience that should entertain up to six players for about the length of the average movie. It isn't without its flaws though, and most likely won't be something you'll play more than once.
Hidden Agenda is a great concept with some impressive set pieces and performances, but its narrative lets it down and it lacks any major impact.
Hidden Agenda is a fun co-op or competitive title with a good production values and a gripping story. The PlayLink system can cause issues and an unforgiving save system means that you may have to start over, but this is a well-made game that's extensively replayable and a killer with friends.
$20 isn't much to spend for a night's entertainment, but there are much better games of this type for about the same price. Skip it.
