10/10 disappointments Act 1 is incredibly interesting to play. I think one of my favourite parts about it is approval from different factions you need to maintain to not get yourself killed. It forces you to make decisions based on "how to not piss off these guys" and it's COOL. You feel terrible doing so, but it is what makes it so realistic and meaningful. Act 2 has annoying bits, but the plot thickens, and it's still good. Then comes act 3 and everything falls down. I'm not exaggerating when I say NOTHING you did matters. Nothing at all. You tried your best to keep good relationship with your family? Jokes on you, your wife hates you by default and in act 3 there is no way to keep good relationship with anyone but your dad. You spared those opponents you could? Yeah it did not matter AT ALL. You're still being told you're a terrible monster who killed everyone on your way, so you might as well do it. Most of act 3 is not about being a judge anymore, it's about leading an army. And it might have been great, the times are crazy after all, but the minigame for the battle sucks.

One of the best games I’ve played. Beautifully made, with amazing music and a powerful feeling that your decisions as a Revolutionary Tribunal judge actually matter. The only downside is that it gets a little less exciting after the first playthrough. Still, those first ten hours are insane.
Good game, but be ready to read a lot and keep track of many moving parts. If you are fine with that, We. The Revolution can become something very special. You have to navigate court cases, testimonies, the political climate, the mood of Paris, different factions, your own family, and the lives of the people dragged before your tribunal. Sometimes the consequences of your choices can feel vague or even unfair. A verdict that seemed perfectly reasonable yesterday may suddenly become dangerous today, and you have to adapt if you want to survive.
This game made me feel real emotions while signing fictional death sentences. If you like politics, history, visual novels, courtroom drama, and impossible choices, give this one a try.
