    Pretty interesting game with an enjoyable story. Only real problem is that all of the many endings feel a little lackluster and cut short. 73/100

    I really wanted the Bunker, but this one also seemed some what interesting. So I got them both in a bundle of three Whale Interactive games. Just don't expect Quantic Dreams or Telltale level of writing and performances. Very minimalist gameplay with spasmodic QTE dialogue options. Soap level crime drama and the acting is ok-ish.

    This is a short game with many ending depending on your choice. This game is actually pretty decent and it is set in south east London.
    The story is well written.

    First of all, the sound on this game can be horrible. I don't know who decided to make the soundtrack louder than the dialogue but it's often incredibly difficult to hear characters (even when adjusting the volume settings).

    The acting in this game is a bit mixed, sometimes I felt some cast members were very poor while at times some were more impressive. The plot for the game is your fairly average B-movie plot. It's interesting to get through, but it isn't compelling. Some cast have really fake accents, which just makes this ridiculous.

    I would recommend this only if it's on sale. This is NOT worth £9.99. I bought this for like £2 so I feel i got sufficient enjoyment for that price.    … Expand

    Unexpectedly cool game! At first I thought, meh, this is one of those games, where you just watch a movie with some choices, which don't make difference. But turns out, they do! And to get a good ending you have to replay this story again and again, hoping that this time everything will end up good.

    The story has its weaknesses, but it offers a very thrilling, non-linear experience that shines with great actors and far-reaching decisions.

    How you rate Late Shift depends on how you look at it. It has few arguments as a game, but as an interactive live action movie it’s a very interesting phenomenon and it surprised me with how much the story can vary depending on your choices. [07/2017, p.44]

    An unsatisfying yarn, where returns diminish as rapidly as the stakes escalate. [June 2017, p.87]
