Review – Black Mirror: Bandersnatch


The interactive stuff was kind of fun to play around with. But the story itself is just not as satisfying as it could have been. It’s tough dealing with a gimmick like this, because the story is always what suffers. But overall, it was still pretty enjoyable. There was some fun meta stuff going on. I played around with different narrative choices and different endings, and I’m pretty sure I achieved the “best” ending (remember, this is Black Mirror). But I still felt like something was missing. It did feel like a Black Mirror episode, so the continuity was there. And really, when it comes down to it, even “bad” Black Mirror episodes are still worth checking out. I wouldn’t say this was bad. And I would say you should check this out. It’s not going to blow your mind or anything though.

I kept track of all my choices throughout, so I’ll probably go back and try out some different paths some time. Maybe there’s an even better ending out there somewhere.

3.5 out of 5 stars
