From Strategyinformer.com: "On the surface Monochroma should be everything I love about independent video game design. Bleak visuals, a disturbing dystopian background, obfuscated storytelling and an emotional and physical link to the two characters on-screen. Yet for all Monochroma achieves with its effective art style, it’s let down by imprecise controls and a lack of empathy for its protagonists.

COG writes - Monochroma is a game of the cinematic platformer variety but this black and white game fails to impress in nearly every aspect.
Neil writes "Telling a story with no written or spoken words isn’t anything new in the gaming world. Telling a story with little more than some delightful black and white visuals isn’t either. In fact, you’ll struggle to find much in Monochroma that hasn’t already been seen in various other games."
