Gears of Dissent is an action-adventure game developed and published by Jacob Gislason that focuses on delivering a complete and engaging experience without demanding dozens of hours from the player.

Exploration plays a significant role throughout the adventure, rewarding players who take the time to investigate their surroundings instead of simply rushing toward the next objective. The world is designed to inspire curiosity, with various areas containing clues and narrative details that gradually reveal the larger picture behind the game's events. This approach gives the experience a stronger sense of atmosphere and encour…
Very fun and simple game! my only complaints would be that I wish there was a reload button and maybe some of the bosses could attack a little less often so I have a chance to at least heal one gear.

Overall very good game, decent challenge.
Good game, do wish there was controller though.
