    It is the storytelling that keeps Republique interesting. The stealth mechanics are not up to common standards, but the dystopian setting manages to salvage a lot.

    An intriguing tale, coupled with lenient stealth gameplay that will exclude no-one.

    Republique Remastered is a short but well crafted stealth experience, originally developed for iOS and now available for PC and Mac. A good story and a polished gameplay are definitely on the plus side, but this remastered edition fails in offering something new, and is suggested only to those at their first encounter with the game.

    République is a game made with clear direction and passion, and is largely competent in matters of gameplay. Remastered is a good upscale that adds clarity and control, but loses something of what made the original sparkle. To me, the iOS version holds a slight edge because the concept works better in that context.

    Probably the best thing about République is its evolution and the improvements made in the later episodes.

    I want to finish the story, but not play the game to do it.

    The game’s enclosed environments were clearly designed with smaller screens in mind, and on such mobile platforms, its production values set it apart from a great swath of its competitors.

For and IOS port it's still gorgeous by PC standards with smooth, tense gameplay with solid animations and lip syncing. The storytelling and writing is the best i have seen from a game this year. This is helped by the amazing voice acting from Jennifer Hale (Mass Effect), David Hayter (Metal Gear) and a first time video game performance from Rena Strober who does an excellent job as Hope the main character. I can not wait for the next 2 episodes and i would definitely recommend this to someone who enjoys an engaging story in a very atmospheric world.… Full Review »

I have been playing for about 2 1/2 hrs and am diggin' every minute to it. The story is compelling and I am anxious to see how this is all going to turn out. Not to mention, fun and stealthy! Just the way I like it. Very happy with this game! :)… Full Review »
