Left Alive Reviews
I can’t possibly imagine anyone actually enjoying the soul-crushing ordeal of playing Left Alive.
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.

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!

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"!

With the exception of the story, everything about this ill-conceived Front Mission spin-off feels totally broken, horribly dated, and entirely unloved. Left Alive works better as an unpolished frustration simulator than an action/stealth game.
In a few days, once the papers are about to finish it, Left Alive will return to anonymity from the beginning, carrying with it the secret of its existence. Thanks to him, we remembered the charisma of PlayStation's Front Mission years ago and how incredible Metal Gear is on so many aspects. An incomprehensible and catastrophic attempt to survive and infiltrate, bad on all fronts, Left Alive deserves now to rest in peace.

Where did the producers and quality control department look? What do Square Enix investors spend their money on? Why and most importantly for whom? For fans of pain and suffering? You should run away from this game. It's a pure trash.

Left Alive categorically fails at everything it sets out to accomplish. Wonky and unreliable AI makes engaging in stealth a frustrating chore, poor gunplay leads to numerous misplaced shots whizzing past the bullet-sponge enemies, and an unfair difficulty means you'll need to repeat those enraging moments over and over again. This game could have filled a gaping hole in the market, but instead it needs to be taken round back and put out of its misery. This is a truly miserable experience for even the most die-hard supporters of the genre.
Left Alive is an ambitious new development from Square Enix. Unfortunately, that ambition is squandered. The gameplay is dreadful, the enemy AI is broken, and the visuals are bland as all hell. Those issues are complemented by a boring story and a slew of audio and gameplay bugs that simply make Left Alive a failure on all fronts.
Any good they might have had are quickly swallowed up by a plethora of issues. The desperate or the gullible may find a glimmer of fun hidden somewhere in the pit.
Left Alive is blatant and very abortive stealth action. Let it die.

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 falls short in many areas. What could of been an interesting title ends up being one you best avoid.
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 dated, boring, and simply not fun, and in 2019 and this deep into a generation, a game like this should not be released.

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 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.
A confused, badly designed and derivative mess of a stealth game, which should be avoided at all costs.
I really hope that the development team gets that chance.
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.
