The Verdict
based on 18 reviews
“This game I really like. This is one that I would be shocked if this didn't end up in our top five of the year.”(16:15)
“Recall is fun and very much worth your time, whether you are a Revive fan or not. The games are truly different, so owning one won't preclude you from owning the other. If exploration Euros are your thing, give Recall a look!”
“I definitely give this game one of my highest recommendations for the year of 2024 25. Uh, I think it's going to be a top 10 games. As a matter of fact, I know it's a lock for a top 10 game for me this year.”(28:43)
The reviewers featured Recall positively in their Essen 2025 ranking video, endorsing it as a strong title from the convention with an engaging presentation and satisfying gameplay.
“This game is fantastic. It's it's new and shiny, right? So I I want to say it's I like it better than Revive, but I'm not going to say that. I'm going to say I like it at least as much as Revive.”(15:00)
In conclusion, I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend Time’s Up! Title Recall!.
“A lot of good things in this game. Um, I'm going to land on an 8.5. I think it's a really solid great game.”(22:05)
Still, Total Recall: The Official Tabletop Game is a really good time. Games move quickly enough that even if you have bad luck... the next game is just around the corner.
“Recall doesn’t feel overshadowed by Revive. Recall feels distinct, and more importantly, like a game I’d happily come back to on its own terms again and again.”
The reviewers praise Total Recall as an engaging, fast-paced hidden role game with quick turns, no player elimination, and clever mechanics that keep everyone constantly involved.
The reviewer discusses adding Recall to their collection rotation for January 2026, treating it as a notable strategic heavy euro follow-up to Revive.
“I'm giving this an 8 out of 10. I think it's a very solid game. The key mechanism is my favorite part of it.”
