Dispatch

"Dispatch is one of the games of the year, sorry, there&s;s no discussion here. I can&s;t say more without spoiling, and this is a game where spoilers ruin the experience."

"Regardless, I firmly believe that the developers at AdHoc are pretty much only competing with their past work at Telltale, as bigger studios like Quantic Dream still fail to match their writing quality despite having ten times the budget. I’m …"

"Dispatch isn’t a triumph of mechanical innovation. It doesn’t reinvent the narrative adventure game, but it doesn’t pretend to. On the other hand, it delivers one of the most compelling interactive dramas in years, an adult animated superhero story with …"

"The modern superhero genre, featuring heroes in the real world with corporate dynamics, is very complicated to manage, even for those who work with superheroes every day. Getting the nuances so right, offering an original point of view, and doing …"

"Dispatch is more of a TV show than a video game, and while some of its parts feel disjointed and forced, an endearing cast of characters and an uncommon comedy tone manage to glue everything together."

"On top of that, it&s;s a hilarious superhero romp with satisfying storylines and characters that I am practically begging to see again. If this is the standard of quality that we can expect from AdHoc Studio, the interactive narrative genre …"

"Dispatch is possibly the greatest narrative game ever made, if only they could smooth out the actual dispatching. I absolutely love this world, this story, and these characters. I just don&s;t like the parts where I am scripted to fail, …"

"Dispatch is full of heart and jokes, and it&s;s one of the best superhero TV shows around."

"Dispatch is a very interesting spin on the „interactive adventure” formula, and this band of super-misfits probably will steal your hearts as efficiently as the Guardians of the Galaxy or Invincible’s allies did some years earlier. And the best part: …"

"AdHoc Studio have knocked it out of the park with its comedic take on the superhero life. Thanks to its high-quality graphics, voice acting, story, characters, music, and gameplay, you&s;ll be immersed the entire time you uncover the incredible story …"

"If you want a new superhero episodic series with great dramatic moments and laughs, Dispatch is fantastic. However, if you want a game that plays as whimsically and enjoyably as it presents itself, then you may be disappointed. Give Dispatch …"

"Dispatch is an incredible narrative experience wrapped around an idea so good that it could stand alone as its own game."

"The spirit of Telltale Games&s; excellent episodic storytelling feels alive and well in Dispatch, a superhero adventure by developer AdHoc Studio."

"I had no trouble ripping through the eight episodes and eagerly await the potential announcement of a second season. I found myself genuinely buying into the redemption arcs of your motley crew of villains-turned-heroes; it&s;s rare for a story to …"

"Dispatch is an absolute whale of a time. The superhero workplace shenanigans are compelling, funny, beautifully written and brought to life by exceptional performances and some of the finest writing the medium can offer. The branching narrative and impactful choices …"

"Dispatch is a generally well-crafted game with a fun storyline, interesting characters, and clever decision-making mechanics. The dispatch minigame at its core is also genuinely fun, but the game overall would benefit from the possibility of failure to give it …"

"There are more narrative-based adventure games today than there were during Telltale Games&s; heyday, but Dispatch manages to distinguish itself from the crowd. That&s;s the sign of a true hero."

"If you are debating about picking up Dispatch, just pick it up; you’ll be glad you did. The release of episodes within a close window is what kept players’ attention and made them come back for more immediately, rather than …"

"Dispatch delivers one of the strongest superhero stories in recent years, blending sharp writing, memorable characters, and stylish presentation. While the Switch 2 version runs smoothly and looks great, heavy visual censorship, limited interactivity, and a lack of player control …"

"The spirit of Telltale Games lives on, in this interactive superhero animation, with cynical humour, excellent voice acting, and decisions that give at least the illusion of consequence."

"Pierre Shorette shouldn’t keep us waiting, the new season of Dispatch needs to arrive as soon as possible!"

"Dispatch isn&s;t a freeform RPG – it&s;s telling a specific story that it allows you to a degree of authorship over."

"You would think that a Telltale-style episodic adventure game wouldn&s;t take off in this day and age, but Dispatch will prove you wrong (and offer an incredibly endearing story to boot)."

"Dispatch could be something quite special, but it all depends on how much your choices actually matter in the long run. These first two episodes are packed with personality, wit, and flair. The script can be a bit too cute, …"

"Narrative brilliance wrapped in a clever episodic shell, Dispatch subverts genre expectations not by spectacle, but by empathy. It reminds us that the best superhero stories are not only about flights and fights, but about the humans - flawed, funny, …"

"Dispatch is a sharp-witted workplace comedy that charms with its smart dialogue choices, great writing, and lovably aggravating cast."

"The remnants of Telltale are back in full force with a superhero workplace comedy that&s;s up there with the late studio&s;s best, despite a few stumbles along the way."

"And with a writing direction that strongly emphasizes character relationships and banter with one another, it is one of the most cathartic video game experiences that I had this year, making me grateful for every minute I spent with Robert …"
