    Get Even is a true original, of the kind we all too rarely see made with this degree of gloss, and I found it deeply interesting for all its stumbles.

I propose to wear headphones and listen to the soundtrack. Enemies in flashbacks are easy enough to outwit providing you cling to the perimeter of the area, particularly during the epilogue once you acquire certain powerful abilities.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Three reasons to play this game:
    1. Story.
    2. Music.
    3. Graphics.

    Finally a game with a mature story, touching upon subjects such as infidelity, greed, the falling apart of a marriage, being a parent etc. This game will probably have more appeal to a mature audience. Get Even is at its core a story focused game. People going into this game expected a great shooter or a horror game will be let down as the game is none of that.

    The game sets up a complex way to tell a story and early on I was very skeptical as to if it would pull it off - jumping back and forth in memories and not always knowing if the memory is even real. It sounds confusing and it is confusing in the beginning but the different mechanics introduced along the way do a great job at moving the story forward without confusing the player to the point of no return.

    The core mechanic of the game is best compared to the movie Inception. But instead of going into dreams you are going into memories. Memories that can change while you are in them, become bizarre, play tricks on you etc. For example one mechanic gives you the ability to selectively recall objects from your memory, creating cover when needed during shootouts or when trying to go stealth.

    Overall the game is best described as a puzzle/detective game where you are trying to piece together events by searching for clues in memories. The game progresses in a linear fashion with some elements of your actions effecting later outcomes and the ability to revisit and change memories you have once already explored. But you are definitely not doing any open world type exploration.

    In the trailers for the game it shows of some corner-gun and phone mechanics, which are indeed cool but actually not the most interesting mechanics of the game. What surprised me most was the introduction of new core mechanics as you where several hours into the game, which made the experience all that more interesting.

    It is not possible to talk about Get Even without mentioning the music. The music is rendered in real time depending on what you are doing making you feel like you are part of a musical but without making it cheesy in any way. Rarely have I played a game where the music is moving the story and the game forward in such a way as in Get Even.

    Get Even uses photogrammetric for all environments, which means that it is actual real locations which have been scanned that you are walking through. Even at the lowest setting on PC it looked very special. Imagine walls of some abandon warehouse with real graffiti all over them instead of artist rendered environments and you start getting an idea. It is quite different and amazing.

    Although some parts of the game felt mediocre for example the shooting was pretty bland and navigating endless corridors would sometimes get confusing, the combination of the heavy and mature story, the classical music moving with the player in real time in photorealistic environments left a strong impression with me and I would recommend anybody looking for a full body game experience to play the game, preferable with headphones.    … Full Review »
