Worth Playing
By Joseph DoyleAs a whole, 1979 Revolution: Black Friday is a quick and blunt showing of an important piece of history that's made to be accessible to our generation.

By Łukasz Ankudo1979 Revolution is a great game that tells us a story of Iranian Revolution. It made me research the topic as I couldn't understand changing liberal monarchy for islamic republic. This is the best that game based on historic event can do - make you read about the history.

By Roy RamsayWere this release packed tighter with content it would be an easier recommendation. But, so long as game length and gameplay are not primary concerns, this story is worth considering for those eager for narrative-driven games, and who especially enjoy an interesting cast of characters,

By EdENOther than a couple of chapters where loading times went up close to a minute before the next chapter would begin, I enjoyed my time with 1979 Revolution: Black Friday.

By ThaRaven403Final Thoughts iNK Stories has given us a very unique experience by retelling a historical conflict, perfectly fitting for its genre. It's not a long game, and doesn't have much replay value once you're done, but the few hours you'll spend with 1979 Revolution: Black Friday will be great and will certainly be interesting for people who are curious about historic political events like this. Hopefully, this is not the last historical narrative experience we get, as it could give Telltale Games some competition!
