    The game is amazing !!. Brilliant sounds and music. Beautiful graphic. The night spent with her will keep me in Memory for a long time. I'm waiting for the sequel.

    A video game that tells a great story but does not take care of the other sections.

    A very interesting story, with a good narrative thread, good twists of plot and a grand finale.

    While there are interesting things like puzzles, the action scenes do not convince at all.
    The mobile phone is used correctly; some functions do not feel good, however.

    I do not know if in any game I've heard better voice acting than Get Even
    The great plus of Get Even is that you never know which card the game will play in a moment. The script and music are so good that I want more and more.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand 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.    … Expand

    Amazing game atmosphere. Hospital inside looks like AAA games. 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.

But the gameplay itself is very boring. The plot is not so you cling to experience this terrible gameplay routine. You walk from your cell and you're scanning. Sometimes you shoot. But even shuterny gameplay to make sad, while you have an interesting gadget that helps you to shoot from the corner. Sometimes you solve a puzzle, they are not difficult, but there are curious. I would like to play the game to the end, but it's boring, and takes place in the bleak scenery, the gameplay is dull - it's almost a Walker, but we still shoot. Yes, the game is atmospheric, Yes, the plot is twisted and interesting, but the people who made Painkiller are unable to do intersny gameplay. The game can be completed just for the sake of the plot, and just endure the dull gameplay.… Expand

    Pretty cool story and a pretty game. It does have some bugs though. I've gotten stuck in the map more than once, being unable to move. The fact that there's no jumping didn't help, that might have saved me.

    Get Even zawiodło mnie na całej linii. Nie pomogło nawet maksymalne „urozmaicenie” fabuły, która wydaje się naciągnięta do granic absurdu. Opowiadając o niej nie wydaje się ona aż tak zła, a wręcz intrygująca - jednak jej chaotyczność i rozciągnięcie w czasie spowodowało, że kompletnie nie poczułem klimatu tego tytułu. Nie zrozumcie mnie źle, uwielbiam gry w których możemy manipulowaćGet Even zawiodło mnie na całej linii. Nie pomogło nawet maksymalne „urozmaicenie” fabuły, która wydaje się naciągnięta do granic absurdu. Opowiadając o niej nie wydaje się ona aż tak zła, a wręcz intrygująca - jednak jej chaotyczność i rozciągnięcie w czasie spowodowało, że kompletnie nie poczułem klimatu tego tytułu. Nie zrozumcie mnie źle, uwielbiam gry w których możemy manipulować wspomnieniami (jak chociażby Remember Me czy MIND: Path to Thalamus), ale wątek zaserwowany tutaj wydaje mi się po prostu absurdalnie naciągany. Gra ma ponadto słabą grafikę, tunelowe lokacje i prezentuje się co najwyżej średnio. Podczas całej rozgrywki było dosłownie kilka momentów, w których sprawiała mi ona przyjemność (postacie spotkane w opuszczonym szpitalu). Napisy końcowe ujrzałem po niecałych 7 godzinach rozgrywki i mówiąc krótko… zawiodłem się na całego.

    Mimo kilku gorzkich słów, życzę The Farm 51 przyszłych sukcesów oraz by sprzedaż Get Even zdołała przynajmniej pokryć koszty produkcji.

    Plusy:
    + lokacje w opuszczonym szpitalu
    + kilka dobrze przedstawionych postaci
    + momentami fabuła (ale tylko momentami)

    Minusy:
    – słaba grafika, optymalizacja i walka
    – tunelowe i mocno ograniczone lokacje
    – chaotyczna i naciągną fabuła
    – wszechobecny backtracking
    – nijaka ścieżka dźwiękowa
    – ogromna ilość niepotrzebnych dialogów

    About the closest thing I've played to a Christopher Nolan film in video game form. Part first-person shooter, part "walking simulator", all mind-feck; about as bold and experimental as AAA gaming gets. And one heck of an amazing soundtrack to boot.

    The voice acting is out of this world, I can't remember the last time I've seen such honest and heartfelt character portrayals in a game. The voice actors did an excellent job.

    Not only is the music chill inducing but it's implemented in such a way that it plays in rhythm with things happening on screen and dynamically changing in response to different situations. Sound design is also masterful.

    The only reason I'm giving it a 9 is because as a shooter it performs way below average. The gunplay is kind of clunky and the stealth system is extremely frustrating. For a game that encourages you to be stealthy and kill as less people as possible it makes it an extreme pain in the ass. Enemies sometimes spot you through walls or bushes. If one guard sees you, all guards instantly know where you are and start attacking you are even if some of them are miles away when you're spotted. After hundreds of restarts I just gave up and went all guns blazing.

    In spite of this, it's damn near perfect.    … Expand

    The voice acting was the star of the show, absolutely top draw. The story was interesting and the game had a lot of atmosphere, especially in the Asylum but I hated the combat scenes, they just felt so poorly executed that it ruined the game and hurt the immersion as you could die in 1-2 seconds even on "story" difficulty, this was not the game to shoehorn in FPS elements.

    The main strongest component of this game is the plot and it is built competently, finally and fully revealed. Cliffhangers are provided.
    The graphics are good, my necro-laptop pulled on the average of 40 fps.
    It's a shame that the game didn't say right away that "stunning" from behind = murder...well, I can't read easily

    The game constantly reminds that any murder in the game is undesirable as it will affect the game(Here you invite the most stupid game-ethical-system: There is ONLY! black & white colors). The phone exists purely for some point scripted solutions. And the game itself does not allow you to leave the main direction (At least before I left the game, there were A LOT! of closed doors). Constant atmospheric sounds are intriguing at first, but because of their "wild harshness", they quickly become very annoying(It doesn't apply specifically to music. It is good here). And I also didn’t like the stealth system here, it’s somehow extremely superficial and flat.
    In terms of plot, I don’t understand the motives of the characters, because of which this plot began. They are... well... extremely stupid, for the professionals that the author considers them to be.
    So, you can spend your time in that game, it can be interesting for specific gamer's category, but not for me. I ended it on YouTube.    … Expand

    You wouldn't lose anything if you don't play this game. But the story is interesting and the way of telling is really cool. It's a psychological game. So if you are into this type of game, you might give it a shot. 7hrs on record.

    Get Even is more of an experiment than your typical game. A successful experiment, I must add. It might not be beautiful and it’s rather mediocre as a shooter, but the audio is great and the developers managed to skillfully mix various ideas into a coherent game. [09/2017, p.46]

    The biggest reason to finish the game is its multi-layered and complex story that’s prone to turning everything you know upside down at the drop of a hat. From medical drama to corporate intrigues to family problems – Get Even delivers what’s expected from a psychological thriller. [Issue #222, p.60]
