    I didn't expected much from the game, but I was positively surprised! The story and the atmosphere catched me directly. The protagonists have sufficient profile, to continuously investigating their background.

    Also the many background information (about books, music, art) are an important aspect of the game.

    Of course you can't expect an impressive game play, and sometimes it was even frustrating (when you loose 45 minutes progression due to missing save possibility).

    But in case you can live with that, you'll have much fun with that game.

    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

    You certainly can't go wrong with it if you're not expecting the most amazing game ever, but just be aware that you may spend your whole time with it thinking of other, better games you could be playing.

    Despite its awkwardness and repetitiveness scenarios, Republique has heart and a rich, slow burn plot that keeps you guessing. [June 2016, p.94]

    Republique transitions from mobile to console in grand fashion, and it boldly tells a brilliant story that's rife with wonderful gameplay design and quality voice acting.
