Review: The Council - Ep.5 : Checkmate (PlayStation 4, Xbox One & Steam) - Defunct Games
37Defunct Games reviews The Council - Episode 5: Checkmate by Big Bad Wolf, available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
As a season finale, Checkmate is a solid episode of The Council. It has the unenviable task of trying to wrap up a lot of mysteries in a short amount of time and I would argue that it does a mostly satisfying job. The ending is a bit anti-climactic and it's occasionally in a rush to get there, but there's a sense of urgency here that you don't get in other episodes. And while there are certainly some missed opportunities and a bunch of lame puzzles, I find myself willing to give The Council a tepid recommendation.
