Thumb CultureNov 20245/5 starsIn all honesty, [REDACTED] has really surprised me. I was incredibly sad after finishing Callisto Protocol, whereby I was left wanting more of the carefully and beautifully crafted world. [REDACTED] turned that sadness into room by room run addiction. I never knew I needed to return to the Black Iron Prison in a completely different way than first intended. With everything Striking Distance Studios have brought forward this time round, [REDACTED] has made it’s mark and sits in my top games for 2024. I SALUTE YOU SOLDIER! I award [REDACTED] the Thumb Culture Platinum Award.

Game RantMax BormanOct 20248/10[REDACTED] takes the world of Callisto Protocol into a brand-new genre for an experience that roguelike fans will surely spend hours conquering.

TheGamerVaspaan DastoorOct 20244/5 starsUnfortunately for Redacted, probably the biggest thing working against it is its release date. The game comes out on October 31, right on the heels of Hades 2's Olympic update. However, should you get bored of Melinoe, Redacted is a great substitute with fresh ideas.

GameSpotRichard WakelingOct 20246/10With a colorful art style and roguelike hooks, Redacted has little in common with The Callisto Protocol besides a shared setting, yet it's a similarly uneven experience.

Push SquareSimon FitzgeraldNov 20247/10Redacted has all the addictive core elements of an enjoyable roguelike: a good variety of weapons, abilities, and synergies with a well-polished presentation. The racing rivals and random events keep runs feeling fresh, although its comparatively short runtime and relatively lackluster melee combat prevent it from being one of the greatest.
