A month ago you couldn't tell me that a "Bouncer RPG" would be worth playing or fun. Not Tonight: Take Back Control Edition changes that mindset. The game has some off-beat humour in its dialogue but seems to pair well with the fun, and relatively challenging, "ID check" game. If you're looking for an off-beat RPG, and you don't mind the nostalgic pixelated graphics, then look no further then Not Tonight: Take Back Control Edition!

Overall, Not Tonight is incredibly fun – repetitive, but fun. The different conditions in each level keeps the monotony of the task interesting, and the strange situations that challenge your moral reasoning makes each hour spent more entertaining than the next. With its satirical tone and quirky storyline, the game mocks political movements and stereotypical characters while presenting to us a simulation game for adults to enjoy. After spending hours playing this game, I feel like I could probably work as a pretty efficient bouncer in real life now.

Not Tonight is the video game equivalent of a protest song – a piece the artist releases to the world with the intent to elevate a social movement or perceived injustice. I suspect the story will act as a Rorschach test of your political alignment depending on whether you love or hate it. Some could critique it as being too on the nose, but the lack of subtlety feels genuine in this moment.

A mí sinceramente me ha encantado, tienes muchos easte-reggs y para lo esperado es sorprendentemente "largo", trata temas importantes de una manera cómica y llega un punto en el que tienes que tener muchas cosas en cuanta, parecido a la temática de "Papers, please!". Recomendable, no le pongo el 10 porque llega un punto que se hace pesado, por lo demás mis 10's

A Papers, Please-inspired game set in an intriguing world filled with dark humor. While the gameplay can feel repetitive, it does get progressively more challenging as you go. I enjoyed most of the experience, though I found myself losing interest toward the end.

Its barely a game - the most boring, uninspired game I have ever played. Its basically a badly written graphic novel from someone who is clearly b**thurt about Brexit.

Not Tonight is a simple yet effective game that is sure to resonate with anyone living through the chaos of Brexit.

Not Tonight is a deeply relevant, thoughtful experience. It comes from a place of genuine frustration with the way too much of the world is behaving at the moment, but manages to channel that frustration into something productive - a satirical (however darkly), deeply sympathetic game, that's both entertaining and has a strong point to make. Is it a little too infatuated with Papers, Please? Yes, but you could do far worse than create a breathless homage to a game that great.

Picked this up in a recent sale and I must say, it's really good fun! Especially when you get into a rhythm in each level! Sound is great, art is great, all the characters are really well written. What more could you wish for?

Not Tonight: One Love elevates the game to ridiculous heights, which makes it absolutely worth picking up.

Appealing Papers, Please clone with a Brexit setting that lacks the dystopian atmosphere of its inspiration.

Not Tonight: Take Back Control Edition is a good time, all things considered. Checking IDs is satisfying enough to make you feel good for doing it well, but it can grow stale at times. There's plenty of comedy in there too, especially if you're a fan of gallows humour, but this game's ability to capture the feeling of dystopian totalitarianism is where it really shines.

I have no idea what the buzz is on this game nor am i able to understand the steep price. There is a massive flaw where you need to get a persons ID and there is a 3 second delay on to take and open a persons ID, this in turn builds up and wastes a lot of time. This is not a game for everyone, in my eyes this is not even a game.

SummaryNot Tonight is a post-Brexit management game, fusing a time-pressure RPG with a politically charged story where every decision matters. Will you join the resistance and fight the regime -- or keep your head down and hope that one day this will all be a distant memory?
