Hand of Fate is a devastatingly addictive adventure game that mixes card collecting with fast-paced third-person action and board games. All though full of disparate ideas, the game is never confusing.

It's in this way that we are introduced to Hope, or 390-H as she's been branded by the authorities that be. We don't know much about Hope, other than that she is a member of this unusual community and referred to as a ‘Pre-Cal' – kept, essentially, as prisoners and brainwashed.

Decent stealth gameplay; Brillaint; gripping narrative; Fairly unique concept; Developer's passion shines

Some clunky movement; Camera automatically changing can be annoying; Framerate and loading issues

A set of five episodic stealth-based adventures, République originally debuted as a mobile title after a successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2012.

The reality is less a forest of glass-and-steel eyes than an invisible stream of data flooding into hungry servers, ready to be parsed, interpreted, and...

Top-notch worldbuilding and a stellar voice cast..
