  Republique: Episode 3 feels a little repetitive at times, in part due to being so simple to control and its sole focus on outsmarting guards, but there’s still no denying that its glorious visuals and smart narrative should captivate you for the most part. It’ll be interesting to see how future installments build further upon it.

  The overall storytelling of Episode 3 is the strongest so far. The ending especially strikes a chord, and has left me more intrigued for the next episode than any of the previous cliffhangers. As Republique approaches its final two episodes, it needs to nail all three pillars of story, stealth, and puzzles to succeed. If one or two come up short, the whole thing will come tumbling down.

  The big story beats are at the beginning and the end, but there’s a lot of sneaking, hacking and guard-defeating to do in the middle. It’s also worth noting that this is the middle chapter of the overall République saga, so is it possible that Ones & Zeroes is structured this way on purpose as some sort of meta-commentary? Given that not much in this game is in it without a reason, you can’t rule it out.

  Ones & Zeroes has been touted as the longest episode of République yet, and it feels like it. The story feels a bit too drawn out for its own good – though that may just be a symptom of this being the middle act. ...Mechanically it’s more of the same – which is to say that it’s a unique and deftly-constructed second-person stealth title. Despite stumbling a bit, this episode still has me eager to see what will happen next.

  If you weren't a fan of the first two episodes then it's unlikely that this one will change your mind. But if you've decided to stick with Republique through thick and thin then you're likely to be pretty pleased with the direction Ones & Zeroes takes things. A brainier episode than Metamorphosis, Ones & Zeroes might not be thrilling, but it asks some interesting questions all the same.

  République - Episodio 3: Unos y Ceros llega a iOS y al fin a Android como un episodio intermedio de una trama que adquiere más profundidad e interés a medida que se suceden los diferentes acontecimientos.... Por lo demás, sigue presentando el gran nivel de los anteriores episodios a nivel de producción, con gráficos, animaciones, ambientación y voces a gran nivel, un título táctil que aspira a convertirse en clara referencia entre los AAA táctiles con sabor a sobremesa.
