  • Summary: New York City, New Year's Eve 1999. An unlikely team of four professional cleaners for the mob gathers to drink and reminisce about their careers at the turn of the millenium. As the details of their stories stop matching up, the ugly truth behind their cooperation begins to reveal itself.New York City, New Year's Eve 1999. An unlikely team of four professional cleaners for the mob gathers to drink and reminisce about their careers at the turn of the millenium. As the details of their stories stop matching up, the ugly truth behind their cooperation begins to reveal itself. What starts as a celebration of a decade of shared history slowly turns into a tense and dangerous standoff.

    An homage to 90s cinema - from Tarantino's classics through cult crime thrillers to B-movie action favorites and more - Serial Cleaners remixes those familiar places, characters and scenes into its own unique spin on a decade full of brightly colored optimism... and the grime underneath it all.

    Choose your path through the non-linear story by picking the part of the narrative you want to hear next, and then approach each mission as carefully or brazenly as you like. Utilize stealth, exploration and speed as the situation and your preferred experience warrants it. Get rid of the bodies and other damning evidence to wipe the decade's slate clean before the new millenium comes!    … Expand

    Serial Cleaners is a unique entry into the stealth genre, featuring fun gameplay mechanics, a quirky cast of characters, and increasingly complex missions. Sneaking past guards, disposing of evidence, tackling innocent bystanders, and coming up with increasingly chaotic ways of dealing with tough situations never became dull, rather I was constantly excited for what came next. While there were a few sound issues and the on-screen text can be a bit small, I still found myself greatly enjoying my time as a cleaner for a mob boss.

    Serial Cleaners is an enjoyable experiment. Knowledge of the first game is completely unnecessary, except to appreciate developer Draw Distance’s ability to evolve gameplay and storytelling. Smeared against the backdrop of a dark underworld, the 90s aesthetic bolsters the narrative and style. Rather than a stealth game that shoves against the player, Serial Cleaners creates an almost zen-like experience among the chaos.

    Serial Cleaners is an interesting puzzle game covered in blood and grunge with a fun ’90s spin. Pop on your yellow rubber gloves and get to cleanin’.

    Serial Cleaners is a decent sequel that inherits the strengths and weaknesses of the first chapter of the series, which does not innovate the stealth game genre even if it offers some interesting gameplay ideas and a rather convincing artistic style. However, its biggest flaw is an artificial intelligence that does not propose a sufficiently valid challenge.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A very different type of game - stylized, retro-like, a very ambitious. Looks great, stealth is funny, dialogues are really good, however the general plot is a mess. There is a lot to do, 4 characters, over 20 stages and I suppose different endings!… Expand

    Seryjna nuda.
    Świetny klimat i styl artystyczny. Dobra muzyka, zwłaszcza jazzujące utwory.
    Fabuła oszczędna, ale wystarczająca. Natomiast cała    Seryjna nuda.

    Fabuła oszczędna, ale wystarczająca.
    Natomiast cała reszta..meh.
    Powtarzalna rozgrywka, oprócz dosłownie dwóch map, które wybiegały poza przyjęty przez twórców na ogół nudnawy schemat.
    Fatalne sterowanie, ten sam przycisk odpowiada za różne czynności, co często powoduje wywołanie niepożądanych akcji, gdy dane obiekty są blisko siebie.
    Arbitralne, nierealistyczne i nierzadko zawodzące mechaniki; często nieczytelne mapy.
    Do ogrania na najniższym poziomie trudności, jedynie dla fajnego klimatu gry.    … Expand
