    Black The Fall is a special game. The prodigious range of puzzles and platforming mechanics present rival that of a game ten times longer than it, and the visual and auditory treat on offer elevates that gameplay to an incredibly high standard. You’ll witness the human race at its very worst through some horrifying imagery, but this presents itself as more of a gas to fuel a revolution. Black The Fall is a remarkable experience that will stay with us for a long time, and it's one that you must not miss out on.

    Black The Fall not only succeeds in Sand Sailor Studio’s aim of bringing attention to the Communist history of Romania but it also stands strong as an excellent puzzle platformer. The use of unique devices and companions ensure that you never solve the same puzzle twice and the excellent design ensure that every moment of your journey to escape from oppression is enjoyable.

    Black The Fall is a very entertaining adventure through a bleak world with only a few minor hiccups with its mechanics. I’d casually recommendBlack The Fall is a very entertaining adventure through a bleak world with only a few minor hiccups with its mechanics. I’d casually recommend it to anyone who enjoys straightforward puzzle adventures but I’d massively recommend it to anyone who hates Soviet Russia. Full Review »

    A game made for right wing uneducated people who gobble up anything fascist and authoritarian fed to them
