Summary

Developed by seasoned studio Cyanide, Call of Cthulhu is an RPG-Investigation game with psychological horror and stealth mechanics, set in a deeply immersive world. On a mission to find the truth behind the death of an acclaimed artist and her family on a backwater island, the player will soon uncover a more disturbing truth as the Great Dreamer, Cthulhu, prepares its awakening...

It is not a good horror game (despite some scary moments) but it is a really immersive and atmospheric detective game and that is exactly what I wanted. The game gives you some interesting options/ choices to play with and rewards exploration. While the character animations are really not that good, the mostly great voice acting makes up for it. Especially in the first few hours, the atmosphere is really great.

I just wish the game was a bit less linear and more challenging. Also, the story feels kind of rushed towards the end and could have been longer.

It is a good game, almost great, with some issues and unfortunate marketing 🤷

Unbelievably mid af. The Lovecraft vibes carry 99% of this game, and if you swapped that out with anything this would be a 3 at best.

This is a very flawed yet pretty enjoyable experience. I will say though if you are not a HP Lovecraft fan you probably won't get much from this game. So if you like HP Lovecraft 6.5/10 if your not probably closer to a 4/10.
