    Narcos: Rise of the Cartels is a game totally recommended for those gamers who have seen and enjoyed the Netflix series. However, as a product independent of any license, the title suffers from excessive simplicity and some inconsistencies that are denoted at the time of play. It is still fun, but in contrast to titles of this style, there are better options in the market.

    Though, admittedly, expectations might have been a little low, Narcos: Rise of the Cartels is surprising in all the right ways. Its loading screens offer a stunning blend of animation and FMV straight from the show, and while the in-game graphics don't quite share the same slick polish and the combat can feel a little stale, Narcos: Rise of the Cartels is a thoughtful, unusual take on Escobar's legacy. Yeah, I'm a bit surprised, too.

Obviously it lacks in budget to go forward, so there are limitations in the gameplay. Those who are experienced will quick finish the game and be bored, but it's not a wast of money if you see it in a sale. It can be fun in a Sunday afternoon, mainly if you like the Netflix series (as I do).… Full Review »

I was a huge fan of the Netflix series, so I naturally like the game. I agree that some details could had been done better by the devs, but overall, it's a relaxing and pleasing game.… Full Review »
