Call of Cthulhu®

Great adventure, not so great game.

This is more of an interactive movie, than a game and if you have no expectations whatsoever (for example you dont know HPL novels) you´ll probably love it. You might even if you know his work, but that´s not my case, so not sure. The story just grabs you and won´t let go until its over and it´s completely awesome! There are unexpected twists, awesome visual, the setting is breathtaking and eerie, I loved descriptions on characters and items, which give this "movie" such depth, various endings and game progressions to some extent are also great. Really enjoyed this and I would recommend it to everyone, but people who need to have great game mechanics, which gets me to cons of this "game/movie". This title does not deserve to be rated and described as a game, even though it technically is. Visual is nice as I said, but the detail is poor, especially passage in the hospital, where enviroment mostly looks like a game from 2006, but it´s not just that, everything lacks detail and there was probably not much work given to it, really this is just bad. Even worse, from a game standpoint of view is that gameplay mechanics are scarce whatsoever and even these are flawed and too bland, stealth passages are just meh, but at least it won´t bother people who hate these. What´s good in all this is that the game is at least stable, there were no bugs for me and it runs well even on weak computers. Don´t get me wrong, I love this title and I´m sure you will too if you´re a right person for it, but it needs to be said that it has its flaws and they´re huge. I rate it 5* as an adventure and 2* as a game. This topic or even this particular game needs to be (re)done by someone much better at games.
