Jan 16, 2020When comparing The Executioner‘s frustrations to its merits, the negatives outweigh the developers’ intentions. This title seems like it plans to do and say a lot about morality within a cruel society, but its stat-based design feels like it’s going to need a huge overhaul before the statements it wants to make can come out clearly.

Sep 25, 2019It’s hard to recommend a game in which you can listen to the wet squelching noises as you choose to take out a child’s eyes. But at the same time, The Executioner isn’t grimdark for the sake of cheap thrills. The game is trying to say something, and features a solid RPG system that helps me make decisions and learn about the world in a way that helps deliver that message.
