I'm willing to give Light at the End a thumbs up, but ultimately this is an unsatisfying game. When combined with Last Quiet Day, The Uncertain series lacks a meaningful story or a central character. ComonGames/New Game Order created an ambitious premise and setting, but neither game has enough substance to establish a strong hook. Robos Light at the End is an urban survival story that is fully generic and could be mistaken for a zombie post-apocalyptic setting. Not nearly enough is done to emphasize that the humans are pitted against perceptive, intelligent, aware electro-mechanical entities that are able to effectively observe, think, plan, communicate and coordinate. Instead, the robots are presented as mindless creatures that can be distracted by noises, just like a zombie. There's no sense that the robots have any goals, objectives, or daily activities other than wandering around to find the last dozen-or-so humans still creeping around in the city. Our survivors freely walk around abandoned city blocks, avoiding the rare robot encounter by throwing a tin can to distract it. It's a good thing this city, ruled by artificial intelligence robots, is completely camera-less. It doesn't have any persistent surveillance with continuous 'ai' powered detection and analysis, ala real-world "Flock" systems. Don't you love seeing plot contrivances that exist to make things much easier for the writers? Humans The survivors made up for many of the game's shortcomings for me. I liked all of the characters, even Matthew and Alex. Yeah, they're rude as hell but never act out of malice or betray the group, so I found them entertaining. The dialogue kept me interested and the English voice acting was great for all characters. My favorite thing about the game was the actress for Emily. She has a pleasant delivery that cemented my sympathy for her struggle. Her performance is emotionally resonant, not subdued or inert. And surprising for a young woman of this current era, she kept her voice mostly clean and clear. There were some unfortunate moments where she'd make her voice ugly through vocal fry, but it was minimal. “To be continued.....?” The ending makes it sounds like ComonGames/New Game Order has committed to dual protagonists for the future of the franchise: Emily Hales as the human protagonist and RT-217NP as the robot protagonist. Who knows, maybe the third game will finally release in 2028, surprising us with the cat from Stray (2022) as protagonist. It was the same universe, all along! After finishing the game, I looked back at my screenshots from The Uncertain: Last Quiet Day and was reminded... both games end on the same event. Last Quiet Day even said, "To Be Continued." So in a franchise that was introduced with a brief, but enjoyable, game about robots, ComonGames/New Game Order decided not to make a full game that captures the ambition of humanity defeating the robots to restore our rightful dominion over Earth. Rather, they made another very short game, a frikkin paraquel, that fails to fulfil the promise of continuing the story we saw in Last Quiet Day. A baffling decision, both creatively and for the health of their video games development business. In one month, it will have been a full decade without the continuation promised in Last Quiet Day, and we're already half a decade past Emily's bold statement that, "This isn't the end of the story." < insert GIF of the guy saying, “You sure about that?!” >

I went back and forth on whether to leave a positive or negative review, but decided on positive. It's a short, mildly adventure game about a world taken over by robots. The story and puzzles are solid, but the technical side is the weak point — optimization isn't great and there are occasional rough patches. It's short, so it won't overstay its welcome, and it's a fair pick for story-driven adventure fans who aren't expecting AAA polish. Nothing special, but it gets the job done.

Yes more than no. The storyline, character development, etc... is really good, but everything is too scripted for my personal tastes. Too much reliance on QTE events, and you don't really have much personal agency over the character.

Same as the 1st game, it's hard to say it's a good game, but i liked it. The story is good and they did a good job with the settings of the universe, now we need the rest of it, with a more profound and complete story. The whole game lacks polish and quality of life but it is stil playable. I hope The Uncertain 3 will come out and be more ambitious than 1 and 2.

I really enjoyed this game along with episode 1. I'd love to see DLC, comic or some sort of art book to learn more about the story because the story and world it is based in was very cool! I know the team would love to make a sequel but I'm super bummed there will not be one. When the first game ended so suddenly I hoped this game would give me more, and it did (and also connected to the first one) but then it too ended suddenly and left me with more questions. I loved the puzzles, art and characters and I think that this game has potential. I want to make it clear that I did like this game, so much so that I want more! I'd also recommend the game Observer: System Redux if you like this type of cyber/dystopian/robot world but want something a little creepier.
