About Cold War
Cold War is a spy thriller where you play as a journalist imprisoned in the Soviet Union who must steal weapons, craft gadgets, and uncover a conspiracy threatening global stability. The game stands out with its non-linear missions that reward stealth, improvisation, and creative problem-solving across authentic recreations of iconic Cold War locations from the Kremlin to Chernobyl.
The Story:
On the run and fighting for your life, you are freelance journalist Matt Carter. Twelve hours after arriving in Moscow for a routine story, you've been stripped of all possessions, beaten unconscious and thrown into the KGB's political prison. Caught in the midst of an international conspiracy that aims to control the U.S.S.R., you are now on your own behind the "Iron Curtain". Using only recovered weapons and improvised gadgets, you must now evade and eliminate special Soviet forces and defeat the conspiracy or risk being either killed or sent to a remote Siberian prison camp.
Key Features:
- Spy on your enemies through walls with the powerful and deadly X-ray camera
- Complete missions in multiple ways: Stealth or Brute Force - the choice is yours
- Interactive non-linear world: Accomplish objectives in multiple ways - find hidden paths, combine in-game elements to create weapons and traps, or silently eliminate opponents
- Explore authentic recreations of real Soviet locations including: Lenin's Mausoleum, Chernobyl, the Kremlin and the KGB's Lubyanka prison
- Collect and combine objects to create useful and deadly gadgets. You never know when a screw or a dirty old rag will come in handy.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Cold War is a stealth-focused game that draws inspiration from Splinter Cell while centering on an American journalist navigating Cold War-era espionage, offering creative problem-solving and improvisation rather than traditional action hero gameplay. Players have mixed reactions to the experience—some appreciate its unique setting and stealth mechanics, while others find the gameplay tedious and feel the novelty wears thin quickly. Several reviewers suggest picking it up only when it goes on sale rather than at full price.
TL;DR: Splinter Cell, but for journalism. Set in Cold War. A mixed bag, in my opinion. Hardcore Stealth junkies would loved it anyway. And only get it on sale, for the love of f@#k. Summary: You play as a Journalist Matt Carter who after getting caught in Cold War conspiracy, must work together Grushkov, a Soviet agent who is framed for the conspiracy and must clear your name. Gameplay: If you play Splinter Cell, you already get accustom some of the basics. Movements, gun firing, Stealth, Save-scumming, all that sh!t you remember. But unlike Sam Fisher, Carter is not supersoldier. He's a journalist and his only strategy is hide and shoot when necessary and no parkour skill whatsoever. Aside from the pistol, you are provided with a set of skills from using junk as your tools. Like Bottle as either a Non-Lethal Bullets or a limited Suppressor. There is also alarms and lure, which is pretty much standard stuff. To craft this stuff, you need a collectible of materials, which you'll gather in most of your playthrough. In those Materials, included Blueprints (sort of like cash in this game), which provided you with more stuff to buy/learn. Also, if you expecting guns blazing, don't e…4 found this helpful
