Brilliant, authentic, emotional

I'm a history buff and a hardcore gamer. From the opening moments of the first chapter, 1979 Revolution is one of the best, most immersive historical narratives I've ever enjoyed. I put it in the same category as VALIANT HEARTS; these games excel as games AND history AND cultural commentary. Player choices lead to surprising outcomes that challenge our moral assumptions and demand a second play through. In short, 1979 Revolution is a work of art, and in my humble opinion, a masterpiece at that. The games industry needs more globally relevant work like this. Cheers to the creators at iNK Stories for bringing this morally challenging, emotionally charged vision of the recent past to life.

What A TellTale Game Would Be If Choices Truly Mattered

I've had this game sitting on my phone for months now because I wanted to dedicate my full attention to it. I'm glad I waited. Not only is the game look and feel good, the plot line based on real events is rock solid. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time even though I was controlling the protagonist. I smiled at memories and cried at tough decisions I had made. It's so thorough, I'm extremely excited to see what will happen in playthroughs with different choices. Hands down, the best game I have played on this platform.

All around great game 10 out of 10 for real!

I love the concept and story. It feels like your in a movie. I love how the game is built around real history and how the history is incorporated into the game. Great graphics. I can tell a lot of time went in to making this game. It should get way more recognition than it has gotten! So glad I came across it and decided to purchase it! Try it you will love it too!
