Left Alive Reviews
Left Alive is a boring mess that succeeds as neither a stealth game or a third-person shooter.
Left Alive is one of those titles that feels like its genre is going through a slump. Whatever the creators have been trying to create, the result is just a weak attempt to satisfy the fans of the tactical stealth action genre. This Front Mission spin-off will disappoint almost everyone.

It's a stealth or action game and is rubbish at both. The AI will drive you up the wall and the three protagonists are forgettable. There is absolutely nothing, other than some beautiful artwork and a decent soundtrack, that leaves any hope alive of it being any good.
“Left Alive insists you play it smart and conservative, but the combat has the potential to get stale early on. Having to revisit past locations with different characters magnifies the lack of variety, both in combat and level design.”
There are moments of really great gameplay and narrative that shine through, and I believe that a few sizable patches could make Left Alive a decent game.
Just make sure your legal distance with this game is preserved. Each one hour playing of Left Alive needs many hours of walking outside in fresh air just so you can deal with your bitterness and calm your nerves. There are only two reasons to play this game: First, you are a critic and you have to review the game; Second, you are a collector that wants to have the worst games of the world in his collection. Just pretend that this game was never published in 2019, forget everything and enjoy your life!

After playing this game for nearly 2 dozen hours, I can rightfully say that it is not worth it. As much as I would like to see this through to the end, I just don’t have the patience to put up with it’s janky controls. I have died in the most absurd ways, with little to no fairness in any of them. Unless you are really interested in the story and how the side stories play out, I really can’t recommend this game. I may come to the game eventually, just to tie up loose ends. But the way it is right now. I’d rather put a hold on that for now.
There's a Left Alive, somewhere, that's intelligent and exciting, captivating even though its severe technical limitations. The one we've got, sadly, is clumsy, dumb, coarse and conformist.

Left Alive promises stealth gameplay much like Metal Gear Solid, but it fails to deliver because of broken AI, weak storyline, and poor graphics.
Left Alive should have stayed on paper for more months. The chances of success were high, unfortunate game mechanics and controls are dragging the game deeply into the pit.

I can’t possibly imagine anyone actually enjoying the soul-crushing ordeal of playing Left Alive.
Left Alive feels like a flawed game in every aspect of the game design, but it is also strangely fascinating. There is just something about it that keeps pulling you in, but the gameplay is definitely not it. The game falls victim to its grand ambition which is a shame since it shows potential amidst all of its flaws.
Left Alive is dated, boring, and simply not fun, and in 2019 and this deep into a generation, a game like this should not be released.

As it is though, Left Alive is simply not worth your time or money. It has a fairly interesting story to unravel, but only the most patient and persistent of players will be able to enjoy it, even if they pop the difficulty down to its lowest level
Left Alive is the worst game of 2019 so far and it's not worth more than 20$. The game is full of nice ideas but developers could not find a good use of them in the game.

Left Alive is a bundle of genuinely brilliant ideas, let down by frequently shoddy execution. A resoundingly anti-war war game, with a deep understanding of the way that war complicates personal and societal morality, Left Alive asks all the right questions that a game about war should.
Left Alive falls short in many areas. What could of been an interesting title ends up being one you best avoid.
The essence and the general idea of this game is good, but it was executed in the worst way you can ever imagine. The only explanation to how bad this game is because the developer wanted to create a game with a big scope but with a very limited budget! At its current state I wouldn't recommend this game to anybody. The only prize this game would viscously compete for is the prize of "The worst game of this generation"!

Left Alive is blatant and very abortive stealth action. Let it die.

Despite your characters being 3 random people with totally different stories and experience in the field of combat, they all seem like hopeless lambs sent to the slaughter when faced with the opposing forces that could wipe them out in a few seconds.
