Citizen Pain is a short but rewarding videogame, that punishes you for being noob (I know something about that!). I liked both the story and the gameplay, tho I would add some more checkpoints in the maps. I had a good time playing it, so I'll recommend the game and I'll suggest to reward the efforts of a solo dev by buying the game!

I have been intrigued by this game since the first time I have seen the updates from the developer on his account. I think Alessandro did a great job in creating a story that is misterious, exciting and intriguing. I have to admit I felt a little uncomfortable with the FOV, but it is not just this game, is something related to my person and it made the game harder for me, but apart from this, when you finally get on with the game after trying several times he level it is super rewarding! Kudos, for creating such a great story, beautiful characters and gameplay as a solo delveloper, I look forward to the new titles that will come from the creator. If you like fantasy, Souls-like games, and you are a fan of supporting indie games, than you should definitely buy this one!
