The glass isn't 'half empty,' it isn't even 'not full.' It's a soundless, hateful asphyxiating void. [Oct 2007, p.74]

Why am I empty, then? Perhaps because this crass, banal, unchallenging belch of a first person shooter has left me that way, groaning and giggling like a mental patient. [Nov 2007, p.72]
Unfortunately, the graphics just aren't up to snuff, the character models, aside from being horrendous, repeat often and your character moves with all the zip of a drugged elephant.

Неплохая игра, держащая тебя в легком страхе до самого конца. В игре удались монстры. Их облик и озвучка. Музыка очень хорошая. Атмосфера СССР Сталинской эпохи передана добротна. В игре, по-моему, мнение три проблемы. Это скучный левел дизайн и медленность геймплея. Не хватает персонажу скорости. Прям чувствуется. Хотя это можно легко объяснить сюжетно. Ещё из минусов я бы выделил недосказанность сюжета. Понять, что вообще происходит крайне сложно. Но понятно, что эта игра делалась не ради сюжета. Так что если вы хотите поиграть в неплохой шутер с атмосферой СССР Сталинской эпохи, то эта игра для вас.

It's actually a pretty good game, very underrated as a matter of fact, sadly it has some bugs, but you should remember, it's been made by a small studio... I strongly suggest

That feeling of mild disappointment is a good way to sum up You Are Empty. It feels a little behind the times and doesn’t fully deliver in every respect, but it’s still fun from start to finish.

It's hard for me to completely hate You Are Empty, but then again I'm a sucker for those really bad horror movies the Sci Fi Channel churns out on a weekly basis.

The game is awesome and fun I don't know why people hate it considering the time that came out was very entertaining it had some cool ideas and it gives you a unique felling while playing it

Be warned...You Are Empty isn't so much a title as a disclaimer. [Mar 2008, p.74]

Soviet gulags were probably more punishing than You Are Empty, but we're not taking any bets.

You gave them real hell! The trouble came from the city yes! I'm telling you, the reason is there! Have you seen what is happening? It is they who are to blame damn wise men! If we could reach their bosses the city council they would surely say what we must do now the city council yeah! What the hell is this?! Here's the key, use it! Go through the basements and the sewers and you will reach the elevator! There will be a train. That's your only way of getting to the city. Help, you can make it, hurry up! Argh!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Not a bad game. It definetly didnt deserved such a low score. It is a fun game. This is a typical fps game where you shoot everything that moves and in your entire playthrough you will encounter only 3 friendly NPC`s ( the voice acting is terrible ). You basically go from room to room killing badguys and collecting healthpotions, ammo and keys to unlock locked doors so that you can procced to the next level. The enviorments are awesome. You visit a hospital, a farm, metro station, an old spooky town and so on. The level of detail of these enviroments is amazing. The graphics are average. The story was good too but the translation from russian in english is pretty bad so you wont understand the whole plot but that doesnt matter because this game is all about shooting, exploring and enjoying the great and bizzare enviroments. You should try the game it isnt that bad as the reviewers say. It has average graphics, not so many weapons, dumb AI , no multiplayer and a slow paced gameplay but I enjoyed it.

You are empty is without a doubt a below average **** gameplay feels clunky, the AI is kind of bad, the weapon and enemy variety is kind of lacking and the game is visually outdated. But the game does have atmosphere. And the atmosphere was so thick is some areas that i forgot its shortcomings. The game has flaws, plenty of them. But for those who can see past those flaws, there is a quite alright game somewhere in You are empty.
