We. The Revolution

The gameplay changes as the game progresses, which I think is quite novel and bold. The story becomes darker and darker, just like France at the time.

You are a judge appointed by the Revolutionary Tribunal, swept up in the tide of the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution. As a judge, you must preside over cases almost daily. Based on the interrogation results, the jury's impressions, and your decisions, defendants may be acquitted and released, imprisoned, or sent to the guillotine. Inevitably, you may find yourself entangled in factions and political strife. Strict adherence to evidence-based trials, the principle of legality, and the presumption of innocence are less significant than the fury of the mob or the resolutions of the National Convention. You might choose to rely entirely on your moral conscience in your duties, but doing so could lead to your death in the streets within days. Will you become a hero to the people of Paris, or will you drown in their blood?
Indeed, perhaps this is merely the story of a common tragedy that exists in any era and can be seen anywhere.
세상에 묻노니 생사를 가름에 정치와 칼이 다를 게 무어냐.

I really liked the game, but it's important to note that it plays out almost more like a novel or a movie: the cutscenes are probably the most interesting part of the game.
Plays like:
Papers, Please meets Risk meets Suzerain.
The Good:
- The game looks good, and the animation and artwork are well drawn.
- The voice acting!
- Atmosphere and storytelling are both good. I felt myself getting invested in the characters, and while it's not strictly speaking historically accurate, it has the "feel" of the wild and paranoid era of The Terror.
The Bad:
- The minigames start to feel a little repetitive. The game tries to ameliorate this somewhat by changing which minigames matter in different phases of the game: when one starts to get boring, you have to master another one. That sort of works, but only sort of.
- Replayability is kind of meh. It's a good ten-hour game, but may be less entertaining once you know what the twists are.
The Ugly:
- It really feels like three games in one, depending on which phase of the game you're in.
- The ending is controversial, to say the least. I'm going to try to avoid spoiling it (there are arguments all over the internet about it with unmarked spoilers), but suffice to say, the ending makes you wonder how much your decisions throughout the game mattered. My take on it is: if you make bad decisions, the game is over a lot earlier than when you make good ones, so yes, decisions do matter. And considering that at the end of the day you are playing a computer game, your decisions aren't going to have bearing on the real world anyway. So it doesn't bother me, but a lot of people got very upset. There probably should have been more than just two endings.
- The tropes of the game aren't yet cliches, but in a few years after everyone has done them, they likely will be.
Overall, I'd strongly recommend it, but recognize what kind of game you're getting.

If you can look past the uncontrollable events, plot twists, and random chance that your end game lies in. It's very enjoyable. Although, I wish the game didn't give you the ability to save/load; it should force the player to adapt to the environment and be less reliant on randomness which can bend you over. When you get super unlucky on rolls/chance, the temptation to just replay the day again from a previous save is extremely high. Even if you play perfectly without skill issue, you'll get bent over by some rolls eventually. Besides that, all my decisions on the game felt impactful. It's very fun and well thought out and forces you to appease multiple factions even when defying what's just.
It also teaches you personal lessons on power. Power can consume you, if you let it. As a judge, you think your power is limited to your judicial role and picking the moral choice. During the french revolution politics, your friends, your enemies, and your family will all distort that influence on what you think may be the right choice, regardless of the law. As your power grows, so does your responsibility and the consequences of your choices.
For all of this suffering and triumph does it all really matter?

I'll start this by saying We. The Revolution is not to be considered a game that has a history lesson attached to it. Depending on how you may play, the game can be loosely accurate or inaccurate to the French Revolution. However, if you play for the fun of the game, then it can be an enjoyable experience.
Lastly, on the game's negative side, certain mechanics, like the intrigue system, need fleshing out and better explanation. At times, even after reading everything (whether it be cases or decisions with various characters) the decisions you make seem like guesswork. Also, the game feels less forgiving. If you make a mistake you have to grit your teeth and bear with it throughout the whole save, unless you load back a save. There is no way you can redeem your choices.
Nevertheless, the game is enjoyable and the story is good, although becomes obvious. It was interesting playing out as a single character in a period of upheaval and discovering what it may have been like for a "citizen" of the French Revolution.
Yes, for someone who enjoys an intense text-based game mixed in with a little strategy, I would recommend We. The Revolution. Although, otherwise, I would dismiss this game due to the awkward mechanics.

One of the best story games I've ever played, unique style and even if it fumbles a bit in the end it was still an enjoyable experience.

This game is a solid 7 or 8/10. Good story, that's quasi historically accurate with game mechanics that intertwine with the story in a very interesting way. If you like 'papers please' then you'll surely like this. This would be a 9/10 if the story was able to keep itself interesting, but after a little bit more than the halfway point, it started to get a bit convoluted. I finished this game in 12 hours, but I think the game would have been better if it was a bit shorter.
