Replaced

"Cinematic 2D action adventure games don&s;t get much more striking or immersive as REPLACED and its intuitive gameplay systems are superb. 🚨"

"It’s clear that Replaced is one of the most visually impressive games of the year. In fact, it’s one of the best-looking games in its entire genre."

"Replaced&s;s art style is simply incredible to look at, and its narrative concerning AI and megacorps feels original rather than derivative. Even so, it&s;s a very slow burn, with pretty basic platforming and mundane Simon Says-style combat."

"Sad Cat Studios has finally delivered the game they&s;ve been promising for years, and it&s;s every bit as brilliant as I&s;d hoped. Featuring an incredible tale of what it is to be human, Reach touches hearts and rips some out …"

"Sad Cat elegantly depicts these themes, and I believe anyone who plays Replaced is going to have an enlightening experience, which I imagine is exactly what the studio was going for."

"Replaced has been a long time coming, and for the most part we’re happy with how it has turned out. The combat and presentation are the highlights here, with incredible animation making every encounter look and feel awesome. A slow …"

"Replaced is an adventure game with a unique charm, an immersive setting, and a story that manages to be both thought-provoking and engaging as it draws us into a dystopia that is as beautiful as it is bleak."

"Replaced delivers a striking and atmospheric experience, backed by exceptional pixel art, a compelling narrative, and fluid, satisfying combat. While its platforming and stealth systems lack the same level of polish, and pacing can dip in places, the game’s strengths …"

"Apparently, Replaced has been languishing in development hell for the best part of a decade. This was news to me, but it suits the game&s;s setting,..."

"The key factor in Replaced is whether you’ll be captivated by the visuals and immersed in the cyberpunk universe enough for them to push you forward despite the setbacks – and there are plenty of those, as the repetitive combat …"

"Replaced isn’t a game that fully lives up to its ambitions, and it would be dishonest to present it as such. Sad Cat Studios’ six-year development effort has produced a visually stunning, narratively solid, and gameplay-wise robust title, though it …"

"REPLACED lives in a beautifully imagined dark and detailed world that’s immediately engaging. Characters and a narrative that are surprisingly nuanced and layered set the stage for action combat that relies pretty heavily on quick reflexes, stealth, and acrobatics. Some …"

"Replaced is an enjoyable game. While it feels much more conventional than we originally expected, especially after its numerous delays, it&s;s nonetheless a solid effort from Sad Cat Studios. Admittedly, it won&s;t leave a lasting impression for its gameplay or …"

"At the end of the day, Replaced is a game that I was only interested in because of the cyberpunk elements, but after many hours of playing it, it won me over in many ways. The hypnotic soundtrack and breathtaking …"

"REPLACED may not break the mould of what it standard within the cyberpunk sub-genre of sci-fi games but it does offer an entertaining story from start to finish with fun combat, stunning visual design and music. Was it the seven …"

"Replaced, the debut from indie developer Sad Cat Studios, is every bit as stunning as its trailers have made it out to be, and it&s;s pretty fun, too."

"Replaced blends cinematic pixel art with a dystopian cyberpunk world inspired by Blade Runner. Its engaging atmosphere, fluid combat and strong audiovisual presentation make it memorable, even if repetitive mechanics and minor technical issues prevent it from reaching its full …"

"With its sharp presentation, REPLACED will have you grappling with emotions, and it was well worth the wait."

"Sad Cat Studios makes its debut with REPLACED, a gripping adventure that rewrites humanity&s;s known past. Some 80 dystopian and retrofuturistic settings serve as the backdrop for the story, which takes on special significance as the game progresses. Outstanding art, …"

"There are definitely far too few games on the market these days that offer a unique adventure that you’ll simply remember with a smile on your face. That&s;s precisely what Replaced offers. Just play it!"

"You&s;ll want to take in Replaced&s;s retrofuturistic version of dystopian USA as much as possible, but the phenomenal visuals can only do so much to make up for the above-average combat and puzzle-platforming."

"Overall Replaced is a good 2.5D atmospheric puzzle platformer with combat segments that could have been fleshed out a lot more than what we currently have. The game is extremely gorgeous and the storytelling is great if not a little …"

"A sci-fi indie game with enjoyable gameplay and truly excellent direction: it&s;s a shame about the side quests, which aren&s;t quite up to par, and the lack of originality in the narrative."

"Replaced is a visually stunning 2D platformer that ambitiously strives to give a thrilling and emotional experience in the still relatively exclusive cyberpunk niche."

"I should not have to spend 10 minutes of trial and error to figure out a mechanic that the game should display in the tutorial. For a game that has been delayed so many times it’s these kinds of bugs …"

"Replaced is a gripping and gorgeous 2.5D action platformer, even though this AI-based adventure could do with a system update to completely iron out the bugs."

"Replaced provides a thrilling cyberpunk story that draws you in with its environment. Combat isn’t difficult to learn and checkpoints are generous to help you. The story takes some time to find its groove and connect the dots. It’s an …"

"Rather than a spectacular journey across a ruined America, Replaced delivers an incredibly beautiful yet overly stretched story saddled with several poorly implemented gameplay mechanics."

"Replaced in many ways explains why it took so long to arrive. It pours most of its effort into art and world building, with top tier pixel visuals, cinematic framing, and a thought provoking setting all standing out as clear …"
