Had no idea there was a Watchmen game until yesterday and it's ridiculously cheap on steam at the moment. Big fan of the film and bought the graphic novel recently!

The game does really well matching the dark and gritty tone, and visual style of the film. It's one of those games where I'm finding myself smiling because they've just got it so right, it's nice to see a faithful adaption like this. The combat is very basic at times and the narrative is... eh. I'll see where it takes me but so far it's your typical corruption and criminal breakouts, but I'm really loving the aesthetics and rorschachs monologues in particular! Seems like it's worth checking out judging from the first few chapters, definitely a short game and feels more like a tech demo at times but still interesting if you like Watchmen.

I love Watchmen, the comics, the movie, and I am hyped for the HBO series... But the game is painful. Barely unplayable, no save option whatsoever... It makes me sad.
