Decent story, wrapped in mediocre game.
The Good
Decent story and informative.
The Bad
The game elements aren't very good.
The Bottom Line
The story Attentat tries to tell isn't bad, but I do feel I've seen and read hundreds of books and films that told stories World War II in a better way.
The Mini-games are all kind of lame. The "comic book" scenes kind of missed the mark because they all revolved about highly emotion scenes, and would've had a lot more impact if either acted out or written in prose.
Attentat is quite unique in its presentation and gameplay which gives it some merit to try it out. It's quick to beat and you'll likely learn some particulars about World War II you didn't know yet.
