Really good and informative game. Tells stories of those impacted by WW2 and the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia and lets you investigate how their fates affected each other, and ultimately, your character's grandfather. The game has a really good encyclopedia that you unlock as you go, it gives you tons of interesting information about those times and how people suffered under the regime. It definitely sparked my interest to research more about it later. Very much recommended - just keep in mind that it's more of an informative documentary-like game with quite a few interactive elements rather than a full fledged game in its classic sense. Doesn't make the game any less worth playing!

With far right extremists being on the rise again, I think this game is very important. That is, e.g., considering that one fifth of Germany is voting for a far right extremists party that actively tries to change how the history is viewed, trivializes it etc... Here the game does an important job in getting people to remember. Nicely researched, historically accurate facts and also images satisfy this. Despite this not being a pleasurable time to remember, the developers also did a great job in turning this into a game. That is it works surprisingly well as a game, the drawn scenes, mini games and interview parts and encyclopedia go nicely together. Personally I think a game like this might even be the best way for this. Compared to a movie one gets way more information in the game's encyclopedia and through the interaction with the characters via the interviews, also the game gets one directly involved. A book of course can have more information etc., it is however very hard to read on this topic... All in all, very important, great game!

TLDR: A decent FMV game telling stories of those directly impacted from WW2. While it severely lacks in engrossing gameplay, it makes up for this through some good historical narrative and footage. PROS: ➕”X-ray”-type information (like from Prime Video) ➕Informative and factual NEUTRALS: 🔹Good message, but bad conclusion presentation CONS: ➖Unclear direction at times ➖Lacks gameplay Content (Game world/Narrative) – The game world, mostly told through FMV, is a depiction of the 1940s-era war setting. The only issue I have is the relevance of the footage being shown versus what footage just is available of that time period. I think Attentat 1942 would have benefited greatly from some on-site present day footage, for example. The narrative is simple, which is finding information about your grandfather. It does have a wholesome ending about a reunion between two friends that each thought the other died , unfortunately doesn’t do much with the conclusion. Gameplay (Mechanics/Difficulty) – A common issue with FMV/visual novel games - poor gameplay. Here all you really do is click on objects or make some small choices. No real mechanics. Graphics (Quality/Technical) – Most of the game is FMV, and good quality. What isn’t FMV is drawn visuals, comic book style, which is just okay. No technical issues or bugs found. i9-13900KF | RTX 4090 | 64GB RAM | 1440p @ 240hz | Windows 11 installed on SSD Audio – Average, nothing really stuck out to me. Replay Factor (Longevity) – You can redo segments for missed story holes or try to get achievements, but it's mostly a one-and-done. Final Verdict – Attentat 1942 (A1942) is a FMV point-and-click adventure game with a strong emphasis on the historical accuracy of citizens during World War II. You play as the grandchild of a Czeckoslovakian couple. As your grandfather is ill and doesn’t appear to have much time left, you want to learn about what happened to him during the period of WW2. To start with the negatives, to me the biggest one is the lack of meaningful gameplay, especially considering the length of the game. Since it's about a 2.5 hour game, I would say perhaps ~20ish minutes of that consist of an actual minigame with gameplay elements, like finding items that could be considered anti-German paraphernalia, or navigating a conversation in a way that the character would. These minigames are good at setting the tone of the story, but occur too infrequently and are too sparse. As for the positives, I think A1942 was good at showcasing the horrors of WW2 from a civilian, and especially husband/wife perspective. It presented a single small tale of a handful of people directly affected by the Nazi invasion and really makes you think about all of the other untold or lost stories that will never be found because of the atrocities of war. Despite listing it as a neutral, I like how the narrative ultimately ends on a high note by two friends being reunited when each thinking the other was dead . Granted, the game ends off specifically at a really awkward part, but I still think its a good message and one that is backed by historical evidence. Overall, A1942 is a decent game. I’ve played better visual novels/point-n-click adventure games, but I commend A1942 for committing to the teaching of history. Especially in modern times, if history is forgotten then it's doomed to be repeated. That being said, considering its price, it's a tad expensive for the amount of playtime available, but it's a no-brainer to pick it up on sale if you have any sort of interest in learning about WW2-era stories from those that went through it.

I really like the game with it's FMV and in the way that you interview people from the time to understand the story more, but progression feels strange. I got stuck and the only choice is to replay the interviews.
