Watchmen: The End is Nigh Reviews

Will not play this beyond 25 minutes, hopefully. Everything is bad idk how but it just is 10/10 almost bricked my pc, this is peak

Very good art direction for both comic bookish cutscenes and dark more realistic style during gameplay. A mystery is brewing, but the story is very low stakes and never really gets going. The gameplay is extremely basic. The combos are too simplistic and the animations are too repetitive. Combat encourages are constant and feel like they are trying to pad for time. This is somewhat saved by the fact that the game can be beat in less than 2.5 hours. Feels like a lot of wasted potential considering the IP and that Arkham Asylum come out in the same year. Pass unless you like Watchmen or spamming basic combos.

Bought both of them for a bit less then 2 euro. | Nice beat m up you can play without thinking too much. It is fun if you do not expect something special.

I'm mostly just happy this isn't lost media. I remember when it came out for consoles years ago and never got a chance to play it. Bought parts 1 & 2 on sale for $1.99 together, which is the most anyone should be paying for this. It's a straight-forward brawler that takes after the 2009 movie more than anything else. The combat is easy and is a little too preoccupied with animated finishers (as was the style at the time). The dialogue cribs from the comic in such a way that it just sounds like decent fan-fiction rather than fresh and authentic. It's a cash-grab, but as far as cash-grabs go, it seems to me like its heart is in the right place. In terms of Watchmen ancillary media, I'd prefer this over Before Watchmen or even the HBO series.

It's simply not that fun. The combo and fighting system is okay, but I can't bring myself to go on any further for an ending I couldn't imagine loving and feeling is substantial. It's a fun brawler, maybe worth a couple of bucks.

its okay, mostly just a beat em up type of game with an end boss. pretty short if you decide to rush it. story is on the low end of things but feasible enough to get through the game. the combat is very much repetitive and what feels like only 3 types of enemies with not a lot of variety. combos are there, just too sparse for what little amount of enemies there are. wish i could give it a mixed review as its what you would expect for something from 2009.

I think Rorschach and Nite Owl make a great duo, the easy gameplay, with nice graphics, good music and good atmosphere make the game a nice timekiller. And it's fun to listen to Nite Owl and Rorschach debate random political shit. I do think the gameplay itself is incredibly mediocre, it's just: -run for a bit -fight a bunch of pretty much the same enemies, with few fight options -repeat 120 times and 1 boss fight at the end. If the game was any longer it would not be fun to finish it. Actually, even these 3 hours felt like it was dragging on. But for a buck or two, if you like the characters, I'd still recomend to check it out. The story itself is pretty basic, but it does end with a cliffhanger. So in the unlikely event you really care, I assume you get the real ending in part 2

It was a nice game and by this i mean it was like a different concept then other games. It was interesting overall...although I wish the combat was a bit more interesting and fun but the story itself was nice also because of the cartoon cutscenes which are kind off unique in video games. GG's

A poster child for the low-rent movie tie-in, a seemingly bygone era that, if this is any indication, is best left buried. It looks the part well enough, with decent character models, some flashy Snyder-esque fighting animations and an appropriately grimy atmosphere, but it's severely undermined by the gameplay, which is so bog standard and repetitive you'll be sick of it even halfway through the roughly two hours it takes to finish as either character. The moveset is extremely limited, the enemies have about five variations and the AI, both friend and foe alike, is largely atrocious. What's worse, the breathing moments between brawls are spent on either mindless navigation or puzzles so shallow they barely qualify. A few hidden power-ups in random nooks does not make for any depth, and the simplistic plot is no incentive either. I can't even recommend this to fans of the comics or the film, because it offers them nothing. Oh, and despite what the store page says, getting this to run properly on Deck is such a pain in the ass that it's not worth the effort - but then, it's not worth the effort of playing at all, so that's kind of moot.

Feels like playing a filler side story rather than a real game. The story is decent, but it's nothing memorable. Gameplay is repetitive, it's just wave after wave after wave of the same enemies all over, with poor level design and agonizingly long levels for what little do they offer. The only good part is that playing as Rorschach was great.
