Reception

Unknown 9: Awakening is a promising start for a new series once you learn to love its combat.

Unknown 9: Awakening is a game a couple decades too late.

What's worse than a bad game? A boring one. One where the player is unable to process a strong feeling, whether positive or negative. Reflector Entertainment's work does not deserve anyone to be upset about what they've played. Bandai Namco's release is one of the biggest failures of the year, and something that will be forgotten by everyone.

Son of a troubled development that lasted much longer than expected, Unknown 9: Awakening is a "victim" of the exaggerated ambitions of a very young Reflector Entertainment, which has chosen to immediately throw itself headlong into the creation of a complex transmedia universe.

A fun and unusual take on the third person stealth game, that suffers from some humourless writing but benefits from a surfeit of peculiar magic powers.
