Seven's narrative is certainly its main draw and rescues its often woeful gameplay. The lackluster stealth and boring combat aren't exactly praises for the game, but those flaws are nothing compared to the confusing and frustrating world design that feels like it's actively trying to make me stop playing the game – and I really did want to stop.

Seven: The Days Long Gone feels like it's trying to break new ground at every turn, but in the process it makes some really bad choices and is executed poorly. Its action is acrobatic but almost immediately gets stale, climbing is only fun when the levels allow it, most crafting systems are needlessly obtuse, and its fast-travel system actively tries to kill you on a regular basis. Add to that the regular bugs, and Seven's days are numbered.

In an RPG landscape dominated by third-person political thrillers, it’s a relief to sit down and play a game that takes us back to the golden age of video games. Seven: The Days Long Gone certainly holds that charm and appeal, thanks to its wonderful aesthetic. Unfortunately, its poor design consistency and frustrating mechanics make it unrecommendable for anybody but those starved for another game in a beloved genre.

A collection of interesting systems that never quite comes together.

There was a lot of potential, but it all feels wasted behind unnecessarily difficult systems. Seven: The Days Long Gone could have a very successful sequel that fixes all the problems with the first, but this isn't a strong debut for Fool's Theory.

As a hardcore RPG, Seven shows us a realistic cyber punk world in a very creative way. It looks like a good game, but a lot of serious bugs and defects of gameplay have ruined it. This game had a nice idea and frame, while the producers failed to make it right.

Overall the game is very polished, although the many mechanics can be a detriment as they make the game feel convoluted. Most mechanics need to be experimented with in order to be able to learn how to use them efficiently, meaning a lot of time needs to be invested in Seven. The story is interesting enough to lead the player however the characters themselves fall a little flat, making it difficult to care about them. Playing Seven: The Days Long Gone feels more like a workout than a relaxing session of gaming but there is a good game here, the player just needs to work for it.

Everything about Seven is just a bit of a shame. Fool's Theory has come so close, and in doing so proven itself the jack-of-all-trades, master of none. A game of this budget lives and dies on having one or two insanely unique or memorable standout features, and yet Seven lacks in this area. With the thousands upon thousands of games now at our fingertips, it's never been harder for devs to get noticed. None of Seven's particularly bad, it's just not especially memorable.

IMGN.PRO have came up with a really interesting title with a nice open world, diverse missions and engaging story. On the other hand, the game is in an abysmal technical state and if you don't have the nerves of steel, you certainly won't enjoy the game.

Seven: The Days Long Gone does a few things very well, but none of them involve the mechanics or gameplay at all.

Seven: The Days Long Gone is a truly unique RPG. It's a comic book-stylized stealth isometric adventure in a techno-magical world. Seven can generate tons of fun but only until you encounter one of the many strange bugs and issues. You should wait for some serious patching and buy the game once it's done – it has a potential that deserves to be fully realized.

Seven: The Days Long Gone has too much going on for any of it to work well. The developers clearly wanted to build a big and elegant stealth-action game with all sorts of features and mechanics, but their inability to leave anything on the cutting room floor has resulted in game that's a bit of a mess.

With a little more time and polish, Seven: The Days Long Gone could be a great game. As it stands, the experience is hugely frustrating with its difficulty spikes and bugs, denying the great potential that a stealth RPG could be.

Seven: The Days Long Gone is a top-down action game that deserves to be looked at simply because of its ambition. There's a lot to do, especially for an indie game. If you can get by the messy menus and the learning curve, it's worth the money.

Much like its protagonist, Seven: The Days Long gone is pretty is a bit overambitious and sometimes annoying. Even so, it’s a journey worth taking for its nice vistas, interesting transversal mechanics and reactive world.

Overall, Seven: The Days Long Gone is a satisfying stealth experience. The game has flaws, but depending on your tolerance to them you could very much enjoy the post-apocalyptic world of Peh. However, if you are looking for the thrill of combat, or want an engaging story, this game may not meet your expectations. If the Seven team can fix the bugs and improve the AI and combat system this game will certainly be a piece of art, even with its linear narrative.

Seven: The Days Long Gone is an amazing stealth game, but the melee combat has too many issues that need to be adressed. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-ldb4'); });

Seven: The Days Long Gone is a nice stealth-rpg with a very beatiful art and ost. The games works better as a tactic stealth game than as a rpg game but the mix feels god most of the time.
