Unknown 9: Awakening Review

Watch our Unknown 9: Awakening review, written by Travis Northup and reviewed on PC. Also available on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 (PlayStation 5).

"Unknown 9: Awakening is the kind of routine action-adventure game that probably wouldn't blow me away even if it was executed well – and the fact that it isn’t just makes the whole thing fall completely flat. Everything from the formulaic story to the shallow and dull combat and stealth are well below the standard set by genre peers, and the consistently disheveled performance and bugs don’t do Awakening any favors. There’s at least some fun to be had in its interesting reality-bending powers, especially the mind-controlling abilities that let you briefly play as your foes and sabotage the enemy in clever ways, but these bright spots run their course quickly, leaving us with a wholly underwhelming adventure."

Do I need to play first 8 to understand/enjoy the story of this one?

[elyurias]

My sister worked on it and she is not happy with it. The directors didn't listen to her (and others employees) feedback. And now, what she said that needed to change and they didn't want to change, (like stealth) now the criticism is exactly what she was saying for months that needed to be added and change. She is saying now she know that she was right since the beginning.

OOF this looks rough. This studio should have scaled back.

[ЕгорКорин-чб]

This game shouldn't be sold. They should pay people to play it.

[Pyramid_Thing]

How did they manage to make such a beautiful actress look like.. this? Poor girl.

[TheUncutAngel]

Bro what is the aesthetic here? Middle eastern, ghosts and spirits, tech, Indian outfit, Persian face, force power, gatling guns, random British guy--wtf I am so confused.

[SirAmicVarze]

This looks like they tried to make a game influenced by Dishonored but only had 5% of the budget.

[Awesome-odavidson]

I thought this was a Star Wars Outlaws DLC or something. What a stupid name for a game!

[RUAlright]

I cannot believe 'Bandai Namco' published this game...

[borgz]

Why did they even bother designing a character based on a real person to just uglify it.
