Orwell - Ignorance is Strength Reviews
Considering that Orwell is merely about reading, and then dragging and dropping information, it’s one of the most intense experiences you will have playing a game. You are going to think about Orwell’s implications about fake news, data, and social media long after finishing the game.
A strong start to the season, Thesis brings satisfying NSA gameplay and ties it well to a thought-provoking narrative in a complementary and immersive operating system environment.
An interesting concept returns but the subject matter isn’t as good as the first time around. I love the idea of snooping on the bad guys, but sadly, it’s a step backwards.
An interesting sequel to one of the best games of 2016, delving further into the role of government as an all-seeing eye with interesting questions about privacy and truth. Doesn't add much to the original's formula but still well worth playing.
The second season of the Orwell series continues with a strong narrative rooted in contemporary issues, with a couple of new mechanics keeping the gameplay alive
Orwell: Ignorance is Strength approaches the relevance to which it aspires, but not until late in its final act.
Hold your horses for the moment, is my tip, and hopefully in a month's time I'll be back with a far more positive recommendation.
Two for two, Orwell continues to be an engrossing voyeuristic experience.
The follow-up to Orwell, which asks you to take down an anti-government blogger, is a slighter take on the original game's mechanics and themes.
