Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)

GAMINGbible 100/100

« Dispatch is an all-time great, and I hope we’ll see it contend for GOTY. After an incredibly successful season, Adhoc’s developers totally deserve to put their feet up and luxuriate within all of this success … not for too long though. I’d quite like a second season please. »

Try Hard Guides 100/100

« Dispatch brilliantly sets the stage for AdHoc Studios to fill the void Telltale Games left and do it better. This superhero workplace comedy is full of heart, incredible character-driven storytelling and art, and is worth all of the praise it’s received and more. »

VideoGamer 100/100

« Dispatch is everything it needs to be and more. The vocal performances are emotive and captivating. What’s more, the title boasts a compelling story and excellent presentation; it does its damnedest to make your choices actually matter when tailoring your story. Dispatch is busy with heart, charm, and narrative weight. »

Omelete 100/100

« 2025 was already an incredible year for video game fans, and Dispatch manages to close out this great year for games with an extremely sensitive, well-constructed story, showcasing the power of narrative-focused adventures and how they can be as potent an art form as a AAA title or, in the case of Dispatch, a series or film production. »

IGN Portugal 100/100

« Over eight episodes, Dispatch doesn't waste a single second. There's no filler here, just quality, in a touching narrative told at a perfectly paced rhythm, brought to life by animation quality that rivals the best productions. Aaron Paul and Laura Bailey stand out in a cast marked by surprising performances, bringing to life a group of villains who have become heroes in my heart. The writing and dialogue are so superb that they immediately made me forget the odd narrative cliché. What remains is the mark of a story and a team of superheroes that I will not soon forget. »

« AdHoc Studio have knocked it out of the park with its comedic take on the superhero life. Thanks to its high-quality graphics, voice acting, story, characters, music, and gameplay, you’ll be immersed the entire time you uncover the incredible story of Mecha Man and the Z-Team. »

Eurogamer Germany 100/100

« It's both the funniest and most exciting game story of the year, presented in a package of incredible creative integrity. Dispatch presents the most convincing argument against player-facing generative AI in video games. It's full of life and character that machines will never be able to replicate. »

Hooked Gamers 100/100

« Dispatch isn't a perfect game, but it's about as perfect a game for me as I've played. AdHoc has crafted a wonderful superhero world that I hope to revisit, but more than that, they've created a remarkable cast of characters filled with nuance, growth, humour, tragedy, and everything else that you want to see in great stories. I cheered. I cried (on the inside). I laughed. What more can I ask for? As a good experience should, I've been left wanting more, and I'll be the first in line to pick up whatever this studio does next - Dispatch or otherwise. »

« 10/10 I went into this game with somewhat high expectations after hearing such good things from my friends, and man did this one deliver. Besides the beautifully written story, the art direction and score were some of my favorites in recent memory. This had one of the best stories I’ve ever played in a video game, and you can really feel the impact of the choices you make. Felt like I had found my new favorite Netflix show, not to mention there were some moments in this game that I was laughing out loud. Would highly recommend this to anybody who is into choice based games! »

Robobob 8/10

« This game is funny, heart-breaking, sexy, romantic, yet crude and vulgar. It's perfect. In the growing world of Superhero IPs there are some unique and amazing character and villain designs. I loved every single one of these fun characters and I was generally sad when the game ended and will play a season 2 on day 1. This game would be a perfect 10 if it had just one thing --> a skip cut-scene option. Player choice should always be first when designing a game and stripping this choice from me made me want to put the game down after completion. WITH that option I would have jumped back in and probably played the game multiple more times to improve my percentages and play the different paths. Unfortunately with single cut-scenes that can last up to 20-30 minutes I just don't have the time for replaying the game. Maybe meet gamers halfway and after completing the main story once, you unlock the option to skip cut-scenes? If you love the story and want to sit through hours of cut-scenes again than good for you, that should be your option but just not hitting skip. A problem I have with most of these Choose-Your-Own-Adventure games is that 90% of the time, choices don't matter. Like a villain coming back to the team at the end of the game, or dialog options that mean nothing. These games usually have 2 major branches that play kind of different but end up the same. And another thing... romance options I find kind of embarrassing in games that border on gamer fan-fiction. Ridiculously hot girls want the main character from day 1 with no reason except for you to choose which hot girl you want and then tempt you constantly with the other choice throughout. But I did love the one romance I chose this play-through. Just wish I could play the other branch... just don't feel like dumping another 8-10 hours into it. At least not right now. Check out Dispatch for the fun and unique new superhero world and you won't be disappointed. »

« En tant que film (vaguement) plus ou moins interactif, c'est plutôt réussi, surtout si on enlève le côté interactif même si certains choix semblent vraiment décisifs... du moins, en apparence, car j'avoue ne pas avoir refait le jeu pour voir les réelles différences (déjà que je l'ai pas terminé, alors bon...). La réalisation de ce dessin animé est en effet très convaincante et digne d'un grand studio (lorsqu'ils font du dessin animé de ce genre, bien sûr). Oui, on ne s'ennuie pas et en plus, c'est de temps en temps assez drôle... malgré, il faut le mentionner, un côté décidément provocateur, vulgaire et volontiers putassier. Quelques moments sont gênants de malaisance et de mauvais goût et d'ailleurs, ils n'ont pas de raison d'être là, sinon celle de la provocation et/ou de la complaisance... Bref, ce jeu-film donne l'impression d'une 'poubelle ambulante' en plus de ses clichés et de son agenda maladroit de bons sentiments et de donneur de leçons... Pour autant, les personnages sont souvent intéressants à suivre au sein de cette équipe de bras cassés et de cassos en tout genre... Dommage du coup, qu'aucun doublage français ne soit disponible, car l'amerloque n'a pas le même impact, y compris avec tous ces gros mots à chaque phrase. Les petites missions sur la carte tournent en boucle malgré un effort de diversité et s'avèrent beaucoup trop répétitives. Je faisais exprès d'envoyer les pires abrutis sur les missions inadéquates, juste pour qu'ils se viandent comme des cons. Au moment du bilan, c'était assez... lamentable pour l'équipe de baltringues... mais ça n'empêche pas de continuer, de progresser dans l'histoire, heureusement. Les phases de piratage avec ces conneries de qte sont aussi fort ennuyeuses, ma foi. En dehors de ça, l'interface est assez bien faite, y compris à la manette et la musique plutôt électro est bien sympathique. Néanmoins, la malaisance générale et la répétition globale persistante empêchent largement de recommander un jeu... bien peu interactif en définitive. »

« It is a goog movie, good story and nice ArtStyle The problem this **** will be a game, it for sure it is a really bad game »

RJ55 10/10

« This game was amazing, the choices you made really made you feel like these characters are real and will be hurt by your choices, great ending, thank you adhoc »

sting_r31 10/10

« Dispatch was easily one of the highlights of 2025 for me. It is a masterclass in style and atmosphere, featuring top-notch animation that feels like controlling a TV show. The voice acting is stellar, and the music playlist perfectly complements the vibe, whether the scene calls for humor, dark intensity, or a 'cool' moment. What sets this apart is how it handles character development. The way the stats system interacts with the time-travel mechanics and the protagonists' egos adds a surprising amount of depth to the gameplay. Even the puzzles offer a genuine challenge that keeps you engaged across episodes. If you enjoy narrative-driven games that lean heavily into character building and aesthetic, Dispatch is essential to play. »
