Left Alive Reviews
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 boring mess that succeeds as neither a stealth game or a third-person shooter.
“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.”
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.
Left Alive promises stealth gameplay much like Metal Gear Solid, but it fails to deliver because of broken AI, weak storyline, and poor graphics.
Although Left Alive has an interesting story and atmosphere, it is extremely frustrating with its blatant game design flaws.

Left Alive's mix of inconsistent stealth and aggravatingly unbalanced action make it a complete chore to play, and it runs terribly to boot.
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.
Left Alive is a tremendously disappointing return to the Front Mission universe.
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.
A game bursting with interesting ideas but dragged down by a lack of technical competence and some very outdated ideas about game design and controls.
This third-person stealth action game is better left alone.
The sort of crushing disappointment that only comes around once in a while, Left Alive feels like an emaciated, innovation bereft meditation on Metal Gear Solid and in matching up so poorly with its inspiration, provides the Front Mission franchise with arguably its weakest entry in years.
Throughout my time with the game, I thought about how money someone should spend to buy this game and I eventually decided on an amount: No more than three dollars.
I really hope that the development team gets that chance.
A confused, badly designed and derivative mess of a stealth game, which should be avoided at all costs.
Left Alive is a shoddily assembled mess with no real redeeming features. Its broken AI and glaring technical issues only serve to highlight the poor game design on display.
Even with its exhaustive, laundry list of issues, it's telling when a broken game of this magnitude still manages to rustle up some semblance of potential.
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.
