Svoboda 1945: Liberation

It's simply great. The developer learned a lot from Attentat 1942, there are no annoying mini-games, and I felt more engaged. Just like the previous game, the historical facts appear to be presented well without any obvious bias. Both games provide an encyclopedia that is neither too short nor too long, but it's a shame that neither provides a list of resources where we can read more about the topics.

This is a rarity in the gaming world, historical fiction. If you are a WW2 historian, you'll absolutely enjoy this game. The story is compelling, there are a few twists that make you want to learn more as you go along. You'll also have a choice at the end which isn't huge, but makes for an interesting thought exercise. The cartoon / comic interludes are so well done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juCa9INSLg8 I think it's well worth your time, but obviously, this game is not for everyone.

Very interesting game about a part of history that is not often talked about. Not only is this game informative, it also shows the ambivalence of the subject. The video sequences are very well made, the actors are good and the comicbook scenes also look nice. The only complaint I have is the German subtitles having quite a few errors but that's a minor complaint. Give this game a go if you're interested in history!

Good

The game only lasts about 3 hours, but they're 3 hours well spent. I liked the angle it takes on the story: these are the memories of people traumatised by terrifying events. There are no "bad guys" here, just people who reacted as best they could to what happened in the aftermath of the war. Sometimes committing atrocities, despite having been victims themselves. Moving.

Support this gem. Only wished it was longer. 9/10
