The Good
- Combination of real-world and fictional elements makes for a highly-immersive experience
- challenging web-based puzzles require actual research and knowledge to solve
- incredible amount of content even at the lowest level of involvement.
The Bad
- Email responses clearly automated
- plot elements from live missions can be hard to follow if not a participant
- occasionally strict input formatting makes some puzzles more frustrating than necessary.
Our Verdict
Excellent
A superb game that excels in just about every area, held back only by one or two notable flaws or a collection of smaller ones that prevent the game from earning full marks.
If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, The Black Watchmen is an excellent introduction to alternate reality games, successfully merging an engaging fictional world with real-world activities and challenging puzzles that are best solved collaboratively with other players.
