I finished the game with the help of walkthrough. Although the graphic style is so dull and tedious, and the puzzles are a little bit hardcore because they involve many expertise from multiple fields and many of them are designed with elements irrelevant to each other, the storyline is intriguing. I enjoy reading reports which build a fascinating story. The game left so many mysteries even after playing through. I...

Nothing special, but good

I’m treading the line with this one. Is 1953 a terrible game? No it does have some redeeming features. But it has some little problems punctuated by one MASSIVE issue and I’m left thinking I should dissuade you from making the purchase. There are plenty of adventure games, many right here on Steam, that deserve your attention more. Even when you narrow it down to the “horror”-niche of point-and-click adventure...

At first glance you might be mistaken to believe this is an RPG or Shooter with the subject matter. However what we have here is a typical point and click adventure game. Its short clocking in at about 1-3 hours to complete, which is nice as a mini game or proof of concept but not really a full game. At least in the short time that KGB is with you its fun. It has decent puzzles with straight foward elements that...

Puzzles are not my favorite type of game, but this game has such a great dark and mysterious atmosphere that i really enjoyed every single one i got through. Game is short (2-3 hours), obviously not worth the full price, but if you get it in a bundle you'll wont regret it.

This is a fun point and click game that creates really amazing atmosphere and knows how to show its story rather than bluntly shove it in the players face. I can't understand all the negative reviews for this game, it is overpriced (get it in a bundle or on sale), its short and it is def very frustrating at times (use a walkthrough) but it is fun and creates amazing atmosphere; it lets you inspect and read all kinds...

1953 - KGB Unleashed is a point-and-click adventure that tries to be suspenseful and scary, but the execution comes off weak. I'm still a little confused with the story, especially the ending. I also had a difficult time figuring out several of the puzzles. Many of the clues were overly cryptic. The game is quite short and most of the play time will be spent figuring out these cryptic puzzles and reading random...

Since adventure games are my favorite genre, I was looking forward to playing this game as it looked really interesting when I first saw it. The game is set in a WW2 Soviet bunker or some kind of an underground facility where the player finds himself trapped in. He knows nothing about how he got there, but we learn throughout the game more and more about him and the world around us. The game is played in first person...

I'm a fan of Point and Clicks, I'm a fan of crazy Russian stuff, I'm also a fan of The X-Files. You'd think KGB 1953 would be really fun to play with all those things considered, but it strangely wasn't. It was actually pretty frustrating. I'm left wondering just where the story started and at what point it ends. There are plenty of documents and files to read as you progress through the game to flesh out the...
