    Using exfiltration / hacking gameplay as a foundation, Republique tells a compeling yet tragic story, that blends political and science fiction, and is supported by a cast of deep characters that you can empathize with.

    At first I found the challenge quite light (except for some parts in the 4th and 5th episode) but in retrospect it was a wise choice to keep a steady progression and a good pacing.

    Yet I still have one critic: camera placement and the navigation between them is sometimes confusing or may require some back and forth to reach to the one camera you wish to use.    … Expand

    A slow journey to confusion
    Republique is a stealth game where you control 2 characters… You control 390h or hope as well as a mystery person that can take control of all the cameras.. You’re tasked with keeping hope alive... Helping her escape… You do this by scouting out ahead, and then sneaking hope past and around potential problems...

    A slow journey to confusion
    Republique is a stealth game where you control 2 characters…
    You control 390h or hope as well as a mystery person that can take control of all the cameras..
    You’re tasked with keeping hope alive...
    Helping her escape…
    You do this by scouting out ahead, and then sneaking hope past and around potential problems...
    Your only problems for the most part are the handful of guards you’ll run into in each of the 5 episodes…
    luckily hope isn’t all too helpless…
    She can pick up pepper spray Tasers or gas mines to blind enemies temporarily or take them out for the night…
    and to make it a bit challenging... not all enemies can be blinded or tazed….
    You can also unlock abilities as you play to distract guards, delay them, and predict their path..
    This uses battery power so hope has to keep her phone charged to use these skills…
    and to unlock them you have to collect information around the world by scanning various items…
    this is the gist of the game...
    collect data... listen to audio... and get from one checkpoint to the next..
    Admittedly this sounds horrible… and to top it off I hate stealth...
    but I absolutely loved my times with this games...
    I had fun pick pocketing enemies to find games, and listening about banned books as I found them all over the place... I was addicted to collecting information... which ties in perfectly to the overall story that I can’t really get into without spoiling the game…
    every episode ends with a cliff hanger to keep you wanting to keep going... and you will….
    if you love mystery, stealth, story, or all 3, you’ll love republique..
    But things do get a little weird towards the end... you get some weird thing that doesn’t tell you what to do so you think the game is broken, but its not…
    I had to go to google to figure out what I was supposed to be doing and then the ending..
    The ending... it just made me mad…
    Despite a bit of frustration with the ending...
    I loved my 20+ hours with this game
    I give republique an 8/10    … Expand

    Play the game as a completionist (or at least with a collector's mindset), and you'll get more out of it, and maybe understand it a little bit better. Play the game from A to Z and you'll be left with more questions than answers.

    This is not Splinter Cell. This is not MGS. If you come looking for a stealth game, the ones in this game don't run as deep as the one in those. But, to be honest, I had less f***-ups guiding Hope (main character) around than I did with Arno in AC Unity...... so there's that.

    Does the game deserve a 7/10? Hmm.... from me, it's more like a 6.8/10. I just can't forgive the studio for hiding the main story behind finding every single little item in the game - that's how you hide backstory, not main story - but I still enjoyed it for what it was: a $10 game.

    What I'm saying is... don't pay $25 for this. You'll feel like you wasted the money. Get it as close to $10 as you can. I got it as a gift, but I do believe the game is definitely worth $10-$15.    … Expand

    The gameplay itself is fine. Stealth mechanics are rather simplistic but understandable. The downfall is that the game is highly story-focused and that story derails in Episode 4 and never gets back on track, getting more and more insane until it ends with a giant middle finger to the player.

    Does not provide the entertaining ability to save progress during missions. Which means its entertainment value is a big fat ZERO.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. République is an interesting genre. A point and click stealth action viewed from surveillance cameras. In spite of the promising first episodes, République quickly gets repetitive with its "locked doors - find keys on the other side of the map and get back" type of objectives and also the controls start to show its real stiffness and clunkiness to the point of frustration.

    The game lets you make a few moral decisions throughout the episodes. They don't matter to the game whatsoever. The most laughable is the decision at the very end of the game (the very last input actually). You get three options but the game pulls out fourth options and decides on itself no matter the moral choices because the writer of this game thought this to be the best ending and the only reasonable one. I could've agreed with that if I'd known the story and the lore properly which I didn't because its mainly told via hundreds of missable audio recordings. Not to mention that the story revolves around ideologies.    … Expand

    République is an amazing episodic stealth adventure game that really pulls you into the deep story it offers. It allows you the freedom to make choices in the game that directly affect the outcome and your relations with the other characters. The graphics are absolutely amazing and help draw you into an already immersive story.
