Orwell: Ignorance is Strength

The follow-up to Orwell, which asks you to take down an anti-government blogger, is a slighter take on the original game's mechanics and themes.

Hold your horses for the moment, is my tip, and hopefully in a month's time I'll be back with a far more positive recommendation.

Two for two, Orwell continues to be an engrossing voyeuristic experience.

The follow-up to Keeping an Eye on You has a bit less content to explore, but also refines some of the rough edges of the original and still remains compelling

An interesting concept returns but the subject matter isn’t as good as the first time around. I love the idea of snooping on the bad guys, but sadly, it’s a step backwards.

Considering that Orwell is merely about reading, and then dragging and dropping information, it’s one of the most intense experiences you will have playing a game. You are going to think about Orwell’s implications about fake news, data, and social media long after finishing the game.

Orwell: Ignorance is Strength approaches the relevance to which it aspires, but not until late in its final act.

The second season of the Orwell series continues with a strong narrative rooted in contemporary issues, with a couple of new mechanics keeping the gameplay alive

An interesting sequel to one of the best games of 2016, delving further into the role of government as an all-seeing eye with interesting questions about privacy and truth. Doesn't add much to the original's formula but still well worth playing.

A strong start to the season, Thesis brings satisfying NSA gameplay and ties it well to a thought-provoking narrative in a complementary and immersive operating system environment.
