Initially, i came across the game on a random PC, i bought from a guy, probably 10 years ago. That was pretty much my first time seeing a cool mask and someone, who looked like a hero. It stayed in my mind and a few years back i also found it on steam. I was thinking that it would not run on windows 10, but surprisingly and thinks to steam, it did open.
Played both games already and there are some issues. Second version is almost too dull, maps are the same, enemies are the same. Pretty much nothing changes. In this game, there are 6 different chapters and the map design is different in every chapter as well as the enemies. Two other issues; 25 fps almost every time. Once someone hits me with a critical punch the whole screen almost goes 30 to 40% sideways and takes some time to fix itself. Obviously, the repeated enemies could be dull for some too, but the game is short.
Playing this game was almost like a dream for me. despite having a lot of flaws, i excuse it, because it is old. People keep comparing it to batman. I get it, they are similar in genre, but for me, this is completely different. either way, i do recommend it, if you are old enough and have come across it somewhere randomly as a kid. Stories are fine for a game this cheap, this old.
Ok, look, I will be very honest here. Watchmen: The End is Nigh is... Passable. It's not great by any means, but it is a fine decent little game, that holds up quite well even in 2024.
Why I am not recommending it then? Well, because if you are playing part 1, you're most likely playing part 2 afterwards... And oh boy...
Either way, this game even having a part 2, is unresolved, why make a part 2 if the ending will still be open? I don't get it. They just forgot the first part existed? What the hell.
classic
It's easy and just the right length not to become boring. Quite an enjoyable ride in the vein of post-2000 nostalgia. You don't have to solve dumb clues in order to advance and most "mechanisms" are basically the same so you don't have to explore needlessly.
Rorschach's social comment becomes truly silly after three rounds.
Also worked perfectly on my Linux gaming machine thanks to Proton.

Good game, fighting mechanics can be a bit cumbersome, but once the correct pattern is found pretty easy game with decent graphics.
OLED DECK REVIEW.i loved this game when it came out on xbox.so my review is based on that.classic for me.i just re purchased on oled deck and it runs like a star at 90fps.set res in system settings to 1920x1080p and everything on high including shadows.leave "windowed" box unchecked and have as much fun as possible as your gona have at best quality.my opinion of course
such an amazing little game to play! just wish there was more time to build the game from the developers and turned it into a 30 hour game that would have been awesome !
I remember playing the Demo on PS3 over, and over again because I was 9 yrs old with no money. Just as good as I remembered, have been a long time fan of the Movie and Comics. Greatly recommend this game if you love the movie & action/ combat similar to the batman games.
**HEADS UP** (I have a high end Pc). I did have to turn down some of the graphics because it was on 20-30fps when I first booted it up, now it runs at 70fps.
Something about running through a prison collecting Nite Owl / Rorshach tokens and imagining the cries of agony coming out of Alan Moore's face as he watches the continued bastardization of his work just leaves me with a warm feeling all over my insides ]. 6/10 everything is dated here but on sale for less than 10 bucks to revisit something that came out and I though just 'looked' overpriced for what it offered even by 2009 standards.
Everything here is dated, just buy the bundle on sale like I did and enjoy this lil snapshot of the "Good ol' days" before loot boxes and DEI.
Very short but just about the right amount of time. Took me 5 hours to complete. Definitely recommend if you want a short detour from games made today. Quit on a cliff hanger. Hopefully part 2 will be as good or better.
Once u get used to the gameplay its fun of how basic it is that's really it fun time
Possibly one of the greatest video games ever made. Definitely the best one I own.
Fun Beat 'em up game, simple and straightforward gameplay, graphics are similar to batman arkham and looks very good
I couldn't find what the story behind this game was but the fact that some aspects of it are made really well makes me think that the devs were planning on making an actual game but at some point something went wrong so now it is what it is.
The aspects I'm referring to are:
+ Graphics and style, they look very good for a 2009 game.
+ Sound, music and voice acting. +1 for one-liners the goons mock the heroes with.
+ Fighting mechanics are decent. Of course, fighting isn't as spectacular as in Batman Arkham Asylum, another Warner Bros game made in the same year, but it's fun: it's violent, bloody and most of the fatalities look very cool.
However, despite having all those things, all we got was a 6-hour long "game" split in 2 parts where there's nothing but arenas with enemies spawning every 10 metres. I tend to believe that this could have been a good game. Maybe not as good as Batman Arkham, but definitely not something that would sink into oblivion.
Also, how many games can you name off the top of your head where one can educate big-titted sexy latex hoes on female power by beating the sh*t out of them as well as clumsy fatsos also wearing latex suits whose mumbling you can barely understand because they have gags in their mouths? And how about beating the sh*t out of your partner, Nite Owl, who s*mped over a hoe who is the main antagonist and mete out justice by eliminating her because Rorschach "never compromises"? That is so cool, something that modern devs would be afraid to add to their games.
This is nothing.
iT's PEAK.
Nice Beat em Up Game. Looks good for it´s age.
just buy arkham knight atp
really fun two player arkham knight style game and overall amazing. kinda repetitive but they keep it fresh by the different combos and finishes. the splitting up parts are also unique. exited the play the second game fosho, solid 9.2/10
Finished 3 times, twice with Rorschach collecting cards which was a nice addition, and once with Nite Owl, so it's not a long game, thankfully. It is a decent fighting game, but the endless waves of basically the same enemies wears out its welcome long before you're finished. The checkpoint system make the boss fight at the end really annoying since you have to replay so much when you die. Only buy if it's marked down significantly since there are plenty of better games to spend time and money on, but I recommend of it's really cheap.
Descent at best, get it at sale
To linear, no challenge and felt been shown where the environment levers and stuff was via video a bit condescending, I have brain the areas aren't huge let me look for it thing. Overall though I liked it cheese for the brain aside.
Usually a movie tie-in games will just simply follow plot of the movie but this game is a prequel and takes place before events of the movie.. so the plot is fresh and new
Also this game has charms to its combat. I like how you see combo inputs popping up on screen once executed successfully.
We need more watchmen games please
Can't recommend this game. It is too basic, boring, short and just feels cheap with a lot of reused assets. Maybe if you are feeling nostalgic or back when it was released the standards were lower, and it could have been fun for a kid, but this, this is not worth your time right now.
I picked up "Watchmen: The End Is Nigh Part 1" after playing the second part, and I’m glad I did. I’ve played a bit of the first game, and it’s pretty cool so far—especially the first scene. The design is very crisp, and it looks great, with fight mechanics just like the second part. The atmosphere is intense, with crime and terror running rampant in the streets, and brutal gangs lurking in alleys, rooftops, and sewers. Underboss’s prison escape adds a dark, menacing vibe, making this a gritty experience for any action fan. GG.
lock-picking with a mouse and keyboard is atrocious, and the game-play is short (less then 4h) and kind of repetitive, but it was is nice remainder of Watchmen
Great introduction to Watchmen, the cons is too short for the story.
This is just part 1. As a standalone game, it's about 3 hours long. Technically you could play the full game as Rorschach or as Nite Owl separately but it's not worth it. The game is very repetitive, no real diversity in enemies and the combat is simply fast punch, slow punch or dodge, very simple. It's a promotional game, what is there to expect.
im jankman, hear my ragdolls in the dead of night. and fear my cape, for it glitches tf out!
Good game to turn your brain off, good story. good combat
I'm probably gonna play it but it's not that much of a good game. Even for a game released in 2009 it feels a bit dated. I wouldn't have bought if it weren't with a huge discount. Not worth much in my opinion. There are better games out there. Save your money.
Its outdated clunky and boring. only its built in coop has any redeemable merit.
simple but fun.
This is a tough call. In 2024 this is a fifteen year old game - and it's far below current expectations.
The game is effectively a series of fights broken up by comic story pages. There's very little dialogue but what there is feels faithful to the comic book characters.
A huge amount of the game takes place in very dark places - which shouldn't be a problem for Nite Owl but it is. Also the maps are poor with a lot of re-utilisation of assets such that I thought I was retracing my steps when I wasn't. It's also short - other than replaying as the other character 4.5 hours is what you get.
Also the game can be cheesed by running away and letting your partner take the brunt of the attacks and then running back in and attacking foes from behind. Master dodge to survive later stages when few enemy can be thrown.
Considering this game's contemporaries were Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Bully, Gears of War and Prey I think we can safely say a longer game with more varied gameplay would have been achievable.
The poor graphics and the limited gameplay probably mean in 2024 even at a discount price you should expect better but Watchmen superfans and those that like (very) old school fighting games might find something to enjoy.
I've just checked. Batman Arkham Asylum was released in 2009 too and that game is light years better than this one. Can't recommend. Sorry.
S.x.
IDK, this feels like a shitty Arkham ripoff, 5 mins in and I'm unimpressed with the combat. I regret waiting 15 years to play this.
I liked it!
this shit kinda heat :)
I Love Rorschach.
The Combat is fuckin awesome and the story wasn't bad
Nite Owls AI was trash and I Hate Lock Picking
Great Game... 8/10 - A Classic Hidden Gem
amazing game !
had to play it twice cause im lonely and dont have anyone to play the other hero
Lego Batman but rated R
hidden gem
Muh childhood
not bad, i enjoyed it ;)
basically Batman Arkham Origins on a budget
the gameplay is pretty repetitive, but it's a charming little game nonetheless
A low quality game in every aspects.
This very short game feels like a DLC of some other game. At the start you are catapulted in a random investigation of this 2 super heroes, without any presentation of the 2 protagonists nor of the enemies, nor of the environment you will be playing in.
Audio is terrible, the graphics is outdated. The gameplay is very basic. This is a minimalistic beat'them'up. There are some combos you acquire over time and the same 3 types of enemies. It's important to say that this game is shallow, empty, repetitive. Most of the times it's fairly easy until the last boss who increases the difficulty a bit. You punch and kick large groups of enemies, then you have some platforming and running to do, and again you punch and kick enemies. There are combos but in this game enemies can hit you and stun you while you do combos, and since you are always surrounded by enemies the only obvious tactic is to always use block and counterattack until you have thinned the hordes, so you can then start using offensive moves and combos.
Usually in beat'them'ups you can use the environment, like throwing chairs, throwing trash cans, using pipes, or similar interactive elements, but not in this game.
The camera movement is not done well.
It's difficult to present how empty this game is. It's obviously made only for fans of DC Comics and fans of the movie Watchman, but I'm sure even for them this is too short and void of any real quality.
If you are having controller issues,
Then just go to settings-controller and from there, set Player 1 to "XBOX 360 CONTROLLER 1" and for Player 2 "XBOX 360 CONTROLLER 2", if you play co-op with a friend, which I recommend.
Look I have deep nostalgia for the PS3/360 era of gaming and I try to collect every game from back then. Watchmen is a game I never expected to play again in my life, until I saw it for 3 euros on Steam. I'm not even sure when they added the game, since I though it was delisted. Counting Part 2, it's a 3-4hr game and I had a lot of fun playing it with a partner. The levels are aesthetically pleasing and the combat has tons of animations to keep things interesting. Some reviews mention that the game is repetitive, which it is, but it also would be a problem if the game was 8, 10, or 20hrs, not 3. Come on, people, stop bitching for everything.
Watchmen (the graphic novel) is masterpiece and it doesn't work the same outside of that medium, but at the very least, the game tries to add more color to the screen than the movie ever did, from which this game is the direct adaptation.
Just buy it on sale, it's fun, I promise.
already better than terminator resistance and dragonball fighter Z and it is way cheaper than those games, even without it being on special and you can play 2 players If you have 2 controller, repetitive abit like sleeping dogs
good old games
