It's easy and just the right length not to become boring. Quite an enjoyable ride in the vein of post-2000 nostalgia. You don't have to solve dumb clues in order to advance and most "mechanisms" are basically the same so you don't have to explore needlessly. Rorschach's social comment becomes truly silly after three rounds. Also worked perfectly on my Linux gaming machine thanks to Proton.

This game is still pretty good. I've played this when it was on Xbox360. It's great how the combat moves in this game. It's a small story, but its to the point. If you can, you should get the bundle on here.

A game that's a bit of a mixed bag, but ultimately a wild ride worth taking. As a fan of the Watchmen universe, I was excited to dive into this action-packed beat-em-up, and for the most part, I wasn't disappointed. First off, the combat is where the game truly shines. The fighting mechanics are satisfying, with a nice balance of button-mashing and strategy. Taking down thugs as Rorschach or Nite Owl is a blast, and the game's dark, gritty atmosphere really adds to the overall experience. The story, while not particularly original, is engaging enough to keep you invested in the characters and their struggles. The voice acting is top-notch, with Patrick Wilson and Jackie Earle Haley reprising their roles from the film. It's great to see these characters come to life in a new way. Now, onto the not-so-great stuff. The game's graphics and sound design are a bit dated, even for a 2009 release. The levels can feel a bit repetitive, and the platforming sections are sometimes frustratingly clunky. Despite these flaws, I'd still recommend Watchmen: The End is Nigh to fans of the series or action games in general. It's a fun, if imperfect, romp through the Watchmen universe, and the combat is definitely worth experiencing. Just don't expect a masterpiece, and you'll be golden. Overall, I'd give Watchmen: The End is Nigh 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's not a must-play, but it's a solid way to spend a few hours if you're in the mood for some old-school beat-em-up action.

Uh boy, this game has been on my wishlist for years and now it's finally is on sale. Don't get me wrong, it is worth the full 5 bucks, but I already own the game on Xbox 360. Surprisingly enough it runs without problems, BUT I can't really make it work with either the Xbox 360 controller or the Xbox One controller, that also kinda makes it unplayable on the Steam Deck. The local coop also is no option that way. Anyway, the game is still solid in single player. It's kind of like a janky and really unpolished Batman Arkham game, where you either play as lame Batman (Nite Owl) or the character we only really care about and want to play, Rorschach. And it's fun to beat the shit out of criminals and cops. Time to finish: 2-3 hours with each character

Watchmen is more faithful to the film than to the comics and therefore may disappoint hardcore fans, for other though it's a real fun fighting game that anyone will enjoy it whilst it lasts.
