8.0
Orwell delivers a heavy and thrilling narrative that manages to highlight issues of privacy vs. safety pretty well. Although this mobile version has some navigation problems, they aren't so significant that you can't have a good time with it.

Critic reviews
- 6.0Orwell: Ignorance is Strength does not leave as strong an impression as the first game did, even if the central mechanics are still inherently compelling. There's not quite enough space for the game to breathe, and the interesting ideas, like the Influencer Tool, could be taken further.
- 9.0Two for two, Orwell continues to be an engrossing voyeuristic experience. While Keeping an Eye On You had this belief that 'the end justified the means', Ignorance is Strength has a far more venomous bite resulting in a frenzied finale. It cleverly spins a new perspective using the same tools as before, while always reminding you that the system, no matter how cold and callous, is still made up of regular folks like you and me.
- 8.0An interesting sequel to one of the best games of 2016, delving further into the role of government as an all-seeing eye with interesting questions about privacy and truth. Doesn’t add much to the original’s formula but still well worth playing.
- 8.5Obwohl ich mich in Orwell: Ignorance is Strength letztlich nur durch statistische Browserfenster klicke, Informationen sammle und allenfalls mal ein vertontes Telefonat abhöre, kann ich mich der Faszination des Abenteuers nicht entziehen.
