About
You may like this if you’re into harsh dystopian survival stories with political undertones and relentless tension, somewhat in the vein of Captain Volkonogov Escaped; Not for you if extreme brutality and hopeless atmospheres wear you down.
Pros: gripping premise; strong suspense; bleak atmosphere | Cons: uneven pacing; thin character depth; very graphic violence
