GG (Good Game)

This is Donny's best performance of his career. Bagay na bagay sa kanya yung role ni Seth. May angas, may angst, may puso at may pangarap. (Super Ganda)

GG The Movie hits all the peaks and valleys felt by anyone who's tried to make a name for themselves in gaming, and it treats its subject sport with such respect and grace. (A)

Ang pinaka-panlaban ng pelikulang ito ay ang hitsura nito. Nakakamangha ang mga nakikita mo. Ang astig tingnan. Mukhang totoong laro ang nilalaro nila. Mukhang totoong manlalaro ang mga karakter. (3.24/5)

This film is a breath of fresh air, marking the first instance we’ve witnessed such a narrative on our local screens.

An emotional journey of playing through a game that will definitely touch your heart. [...] Maricel Laxa and Donny Pangilinan's performance as mother and son is emotional and relatable. (4/5)

It has its light and dark moments all wrapped up in beautifully produced cinematography that displays courage with restraint, and the overall visual finish of the film doesn’t steal from the story’s heart.

Quality meets commercial viability! I hope to see more of this sa mga local movies! (4/5)

GG is more than just a marvel in visuals. It is also a film that truly catches a story of struggles, loss, and triumph in a young man's life. Hindi tayo ikinahon ng kwento sa laro, ito ay may puso at emosyon. (7.5/10)

‘GG,’ with its gritty neon-laced visuals and its lack of any sort of romantic angle in its storytelling, or its confidence in telling this story without the use of its lead stars matinee appeal feels refreshing and different. 3.5/5

GG is an impressively executed e-sports drama movie that tackles more than just the struggles of an amateur player that's pursuing his dream of becoming professional in an industry where he excels. (3.5/5)

Director Prime Cruz made a daring move trying to tell a story built around the world of e-sports to the big screen. [...] Cruz created excitement with excellent editing of game play action with player reactions, backed with a suspenseful musical score and play-by-play by the sportscasters. (7/10)

A visually pleasing and delightfully enjoyable watch, even for a noob like me. (3.5/5)

As the first esports film in the Philippines, ‘GG (Good Game)’ exposes the often misunderstood and belittled burgeoning industry with visual flair, adrenaline rush, and typical melodrama. (3.5/5)

"GG" ticks the right boxes on being a movie that properly represents esports, all while injecting it with relatable family values that make it accessible for viewers of all ages. But it’s best to suspend disbelief to go through some of its rough patches. (3.5/5)

Overall, Good Game gets the triple-kill when it comes to doing the local esports community right.[...] But it misfires on certain plot elements that would have benefited from an update or two.

While the film has a number of questionable omissions, GG:GG easily makes up for it’s heartfelt approach to the subgenre. It’s also great at how it understands the feeling of rebellion and the dynamics of reunited loved ones. (3.5/5)

...GG isn't exactly an Esports movie the way the film promotes it - it's a family drama and character study that happens to have Esports elements, and it concentrates mainly on one guy. (3/5)
