WccftechFrancesco De MeoMar 20165/10Alekhine's Gun comes with an interesting story and some decent gameplay mechanics which are ruined by sub-par execution. The lack of features that are standard in modern video games such as auto-save and the ability to skip cutscenes, sluggish performance, convoluted controls and mediocre gunplay are just some of the most glaring issues of the game. More development time might have made Alekhine's Gun a better game, but in its current state and with a full price tag, the game is hardly worthy of anyone's time.

Hardcore GamerJason BohnFeb 20162/5Alekhine's Gun is a title where the ambition of design outmatches the execution with gusto.

DestructoidJosh TolentinoMar 20164/10These were moments of mild fun in an otherwise desperate game, and none of it justifies the time or money one might spend playing it. Alekhine's Gun occasionally reminded me of the fun I had with Hitman: Blood Money, and for that it deserves some credit. Then again, I could have been replaying that game -- or for that matter, earlier, better Death to Spies games -- instead.

PushStartPlayKamil DyszewskiMar 20161/10Alekhiene's Gun is riddled with bugs, glitches, and graphical imperfections. It's unpleasant to play, or even look at, and quite frankly it's not worth the disc it is being sold on.

Push SquareSam BrookeMar 20162/10Alekhine's Gun's amateurish animation, godawful gameplay, faulty framerate, abysmal AI, and garish graphics all conspire to ensure that you'll never, ever enjoy playing this game. There's no variety or originality, and it's more bug-ridden than an abandoned sandwich – it seems that testing wasn't given much consideration during development. This title is one of a very rare breed, one that will appeal to absolutely no one, and buying it would quite literally be akin to throwing your money away. Simply put, we can Nazi anyone having fun with this.
