Dispatch isn't a perfect game, but it's about as perfect a game for me as I've played. AdHoc has crafted a wonderful superhero world that I hope to revisit, but more than that, they've created a remarkable cast of characters filled with nuance, growth, humour, tragedy, and everything else that you want to see in great stories. I cheered. I cried (on the inside). I laughed. What more can I ask for? As a good experience should, I've been left wanting more, and I'll be the first in line to pick up whatever this studio does next - Dispatch or otherwise.

After years of tired formulas and disappointing attempts within the genre, Dispatch arrives as a genuine breath of fresh air. It is captivating, tense, and surprisingly sharp in how it tells a story about heroes. Every character is written with clear motivation and emotional weight, and the narrative shines thanks to a gameplay structure that is simple on the surface yet deeply effective. The balance between watching cinematic moments, making meaningful choices, and remaining actively engaged is the best the genre has offered in a long time. In short, Dispatch is one of the strongest hero-focused experiences I have played in years and one of the most pleasant surprises of 2025.

You would think that a Telltale-style episodic adventure game wouldn't take off in this day and age, but Dispatch will prove you wrong (and offer an incredibly endearing story to boot).

Dispatch isn’t a triumph of mechanical innovation. It doesn’t reinvent the narrative adventure game, but it doesn’t pretend to. On the other hand, it delivers one of the most compelling interactive dramas in years, an adult animated superhero story with the emotional punch of prestige television and a script that truly shines. I didn’t want to stop playing just because I needed to know what happened next; I kept playing because I cared who it was happening to.

While there are a few problems, like the controls feeling occasionally fiddly on a controller, I was pleasantly surprised by this part of the game, and the dispatching loop does a good job putting us in Robert’s stressed-out headspace, as the happenings from this mode bleed into the cutscenes outside of them...That said, there are a few other rough edges to the experience as well, at least on PC: I had a big problem with screen tearing, even with V-sync on, as well as some audio desync issues that distractingly sprang up during more busy setpieces.

A clever and often funny take on the superhero genre, with a tight narrative that pulls you in and refuses to let go throughout its eight episodes.

Dispatch is a very uneven experience. It has polish in some places but severely lacks it in others. It has great characters but you don’t get to spend much time with the good ones. The dispatching segments can be fun but feel somewhat shallow. The game has sparks of absolute brilliance, though can use those sparks to start a dumpster fire. It’s worth playing and enjoyable for any fans of narrative focused games or superheroes, but might be memorable for the wrong reasons.

I wanted to give this a lower rating in order to give my ratings more credibility. But there is absolutely nothing I would change about this game except that to make it longer. Story was well made, very comedic characters. TheYouTubers performances were so good. Everyone else did incredible making the characters feel alive.I'veplayed but also watch other people play like 2x now.Sogood

Огромная куча шуток про члены, сиськи, секс, гавно с обнаженкой, минимальной инклюзивностью без повесточных тем. Звучит неплохо, правда? Так оно и есть, как минимум, свежо и смело. Персонажи в игре классные, запоминающиеся и самобытные, с классной озвучкой и душой. Основной сценарий весьма средний с эпизодическими подъемами и очень слабым тупым "твистом" в конце. Шутки местами смешные, выборы скорее декоративные, но все же влияющие на события. Геймплейных типов два – тим-менеджмент (классный) и головоломки (средние). Менеджмент-элемент правда неплохой. В целом неплохо, на 1 быстрый забег советую точно. 7/10

I don't get why everyone is hyping this game. It is literally an film. Choices barely matter. I expected more from this "game" based on the metacritic score and overall hype on the social media. What is the point of QTEs? Failing them also doesn't changes anything at all. I can't even call this a game. If you are trying to make an interactive game at least put some more impactful decisions. I am not against interactive games but if that is the main thing of this game then choices must be meaningful.

I bought a game to play, not a movie to watch. I am very confused on why the game forces you to carefully watch everything it wants to present to you. I came here for engagement and got really disappointed, mainly because I have been here trying to play for 30 minutes, but I got a TV show to watch instead? Why did they not just make a TV show, or online interactive screen, why do they force us to pay so much just for us to watch another superhero tv show.
