    Overall, I didn't like the actual story quite as much as the first game, but there were a lot of quality of life improvements, as well as just better integration of story and gameplay which made it a lot easier to feel immersed in the game. Definitely not my favorite game series by any means, but as long as they keep making these i'm gonna keep playing them for sure.

    ORWELL: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH is, like the first Orwell game a hard to describe, but it a very enjoyable experience!
    In Orwell, you are the investigator that is using a "Big Brother" look-a-like tool to investigate a political instigator, in parallel events to those of the first game.

    In Orwell, you are the investigator that is using a "Big Brother" look-a-like tool to investigate a political instigator, in parallel events to those of the first game.
    Like in the first game, your choices and your analysis of the suspect and events can allow interesting outcomes, that so many times make you feel that you are not playing for the good guys anymore, and with the new "Influencer tool", not present in the first game, you mess around more with the social media channels and the influence that it poses to the masses.

    An awesome experience that I fully recommend.    … Expand

    Orwell: Ignorance is Strength construye sobre el primer Orwell, profundizando en su relato y mecánicas. Con una historia que corre paralela al del primer juego, cambia el foco del juego de la discusión sobre transparencia y vigilancia, a la cuestión de cómo nos influenciamos y se construyen las narrativas sociales.

Con una historia que corre paralela al del primer juego, cambia el foco del juego de la discusión sobre transparencia y vigilancia, a la cuestión de cómo nos influenciamos y se construyen las narrativas sociales. Para esto la clave es la nueva mecánica del juego que nos permite esparcir ciertas historias que cambian cómo progresa la historia principal. Así, nos volvemos más proactivos que en su predecesor, aunque a cambio el juego tiene como pega que resulta más corto.

    Gráficamente el juego mantiene el estilo peculiar de su predecesor, cumpliendo más o menos bien el apartado. Ha mejorado mucho en sonido, ya que ahora muchas de las cosas (como las llamadas telefónicas) están dobladas. Y al menos en mi experiencia, no ha tenido bugs.

    Sin duda, es un juego recomendable, aunque no imprescindible. Un 6.    … Expand

    The plot of this game takes place almost simultaneously with its predecessor, and interesting mechanics have been added. However, the plot leaves much to be desired and the duration of the title, compared to its predecessor, is truly negligible. In addition, the presence of only the English language means that, at least in the written and non-vocal parts, the user must have a very goodThe plot of this game takes place almost simultaneously with its predecessor, and interesting mechanics have been added. However, the plot leaves much to be desired and the duration of the title, compared to its predecessor, is truly negligible. In addition, the presence of only the English language means that, at least in the written and non-vocal parts, the user must have a very good command of the language. Personally, I believe that the addition of other languages would have been more appreciated and would have made the game more immersive and enjoyable. The story does not involve the user enough and many of the information found are not really useful to understand what is happening.… Expand

    Orwell: Ignorance is Strength approaches the relevance to which it aspires, but not until late in its final act.

    Orwell sends intense, cold shivers down the spine of the player/supervisor. As long as he's willing to read a lot.

    The second chapter of Osmotic Studios's conspiratorial saga closes with an episode that adds - finally - to the experience genuinely new game mechanics.
