Cubed3’s Lee Mehr: “When it’s all said and done, what’s left is a strange – if admittedly ambitious – goulash of superhero antics, cross-country vistas, and budding relationships that feel uniquely boring. Red Thread so desperately wants to tackle the troubled soul of modern America whilst also batting around enemies with powers and snark in a cel-shaded dystopia. It can’t really make any meaningful commentary because its allusions are so softened and confused. Being an Anomal is less like a targeted minority and more of an aesthetic, akin to a spiked leather jacket. Dustborn is that jacket littered with corporate logos: not merely superficial, but also achingly insincere.”
