Jun 30, 2019Mainlining fails to really provide any interesting commentary on its chosen subject matter, revelling instead in caricatures we’ve all experienced a hundred times before; stuff you’ll have seen done better in any Grand Theft Auto game that has parody websites involved. Its gameplay too often degenerates into trial-and-error and lacks any sort of consequences for the player getting things wrong, which renders the whole investigative process pretty much pointless. On Switch these problems are married to a control system which is, in short, terrible, and will likely see you reaching for the off switch long before you’ve reached the end of your investigations.

Jul 19, 2019Mainlining is a bad version in Spanish of this hacking title. Their failures and their poor adaptation to our language prevent us from introducing the appropriate codes and continue with the development of the missions. Its controls are not intuitive either, so this is an incomplete game.
