By Seth CanoEven though The Red Strings Club is in a pixelated genre which is oversaturated, the story all but makes up for it. I would recommend this despite its controls for anyone on a budget looking for a great story-telling game, and for all sci-fi/cyberpunk fans.

By Rossko KenistonThe most frustrating part of the game is the ‘game’ itself, and when absolutely every other aspect of The Red Strings Club is so strong, it’s really frustrating. Thankfully, the terrific characters, the strong narrative, the gorgeous visuals and the moral questions the game poses at you tip the game into the ‘must-play’ review score. The brilliant story drags you in and doesn’t let go.

By Alberto MartinThe Red Strings Club is not a dish for all palates, or rather, it is not a cocktail that will please everyone. Because Deconstructeam, like Donovan, knows how to touch our deepest emotions in a cruelly beautiful way: they guide us to an impasse in which we must assume the consequences of what we have caused. We will be victims and executioners of the threads of destiny that, with our actions, have been weaving a tapestry rich in shades, full of lights and shadows. Believe me when I tell you that you will not easily forget this game: they will come out bruised and aching, but with the smile of the one who has known how to fight until the end.
