    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.

    It's a very interesting game. Thriller and shooter. Get even no doubt inspired by the Condemned. We were promised photorealistic graphics, but its not even close. But it does not hurt that the graphics are so good. The game also has good music, which in conjunction with the picture makes the atmosphere, and you sit there in suspense.

The game also has good music, which in conjunction with the picture makes the atmosphere, and you sit there in suspense. The plot to Get interesting and even catchy at times keeps the tension. 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.
    The game-play is nice but you constantly get discouraged by the story to go in guns blazing and that you have to play stealthy.

    The atmosphere of the game is really well done and it's been fun to play. I don't see a lot of replay value for me though.    … Expand

    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 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

    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.

    Good, albeit simple graphics. An intriguing start to the story. Interesting gadgets in the form of a multitasking smartphone and a weapon tool for shooting from behind a corner. And I really liked the concept of "inner mind room for investigations." But all this things interesting only the first part of the game(for about 2 hours).

Interesting gadgets in the form of a multitasking smartphone and a weapon tool for shooting from behind a corner. And I really liked the concept of "inner mind room for investigations." But all this things interesting only the first part of the game(for about 2 hours).
    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]

    Get Even has some very interesting ideas, but they would look better as a book or a movie.
