"[REDACTED] is a successful roguelike game that takes us back to the Jupiter moon Callisto. The game&s;s unique, comic-like look is particularly impressive, providing a fresh and entertaining change of pace."
Read original review"With a colorful art style and roguelike hooks, Redacted has little in common with The Callisto Protocol besides a shared setting, yet it&s;s a similarly uneven experience."
