Svoboda 1945: Liberation is a fascinating deep dive into post-war Czechia that asks players to consider if everything is worth saving or if some things are better left in the past. Its use of mixed media, including FMV, historical footage, comics, and mini-games provides a unique approach to learning that I hope is replicated in many more educational games. Although the sheer amount of information can be a bit to take in for those completely unaware of the topic, it’s an educational experience everyone would be richer for having.

- 9.0Svoboda 1945: Liberation defines why some stories should be told in the medium of games. This multimedia experience is filled with impactful emotions and hard truths that are long overdue in lesser known war stories.
- 8.0Svoboda 1945: Liberation è un'esperienza focalizzata sulla narrativa che ci porta alla scoperta di un pezzo di storia doloroso, che vorrebbe essere dimenticato ma che è bene ricordare, per quando male possa fare questo ricordo.
- 8.0Svoboda 1945 je zaujímavý projekt s veľkou budúcnosťou. Po Attentate 1942 je ohúrenie o čosi menšie, no napriek tomu je spokojnosť vyššia. Nepodstatná zápletka dovoľuje nahliadnuť do histórie a ukazuje vybrané udalosti z inej strany. Možno ľudskejšej než strohé fakty v učebnici dejepisu. Lepšie herecké výkony, výborné komixové stripy, podmanivá prezentácia – všetko by to bolo úžasné a odporúčali by sme Svobodu 1945 všetkými desiatimi, keby bola encyklopédia viac než abecedným zoznamom dôležitých udalostí a pojmov.
