‎Martha is Dead is a walking simulator with touches of psychological terror that manages to turn its most controversial section into an element capable of enhancing what it intends to show, although there are times when it is exceeded without need. Although it has a somewhat rough playable section and a poor technical section, Giulia's story is worth living.‎

Shocking, controversial, technically broken, brutally forward with its presentation, and forwardly present in its mechanics, Martha is Dead wants nothing but a shocked gasp and an article made about its material. Mission accomplished, but at the cost of integrity.

Martha Is Dead is a good adventure thanks to its deep look into the mind of a character under stress. Aside from performance issues and missed opportunities, the game has great attention to detail and careful pacing.

Martha Is Dead presents an exciting story and tells it creatively in an atmosphere full of tension and doubt, the game suffers from a number of technical problems and lack of diversification but offers the story that fans of this type of game are looking for.

Martha is Dead is far from what I thought It'd be, and even though it begins strong, things start to fall short and end in total disappointment.

Martha Is Dead is a very good psychological horror game that scares you with its own dark and heartbreaking story.

Martha is Dead perfectly captures the concept of living away from the nightmares of war. Tragically interrupted, the family peace abounds in gruesome stagings, the pursuit of truth while living under the cloak of identity lies. Made and reliably designed, intimate world encourages you to get to know the family past. Everything is tied up in the framework of the modern horror genre. At the present time, you will not find anything better, but the developer surprises us very positively. You will not be frightened, but you will be absorbed in the fog.

Martha is Dead is a horror game that had everything to hold the player's attention. Although the story is really strong, there is a very slow pace, which ends up causing exhaustion before even halfway through the game.

Martha Is Dead lives or dies by its core narrative and ability to immerse the player in it. I like the way it mixes the personal with the historical. I appreciate the care with which the developers have constructed the game world and I even like most of the photography-focused challenges.

Martha is Dead was a tough title to review. The game does a lot of things really well and feels extremely authentic, and it also makes good use of the next-gen hardware to conjure up beautiful visuals on the screen. But at the same time, there are plenty of bugs that pull you out of the immersion and make you realize, once again, that you are playing a game.

Martha is Dead has an interesting idea, but not enough to be considered a great game in spite of its flaws. If you're a fan of thrillers or the setting of Martha is Dead appeals to you, it is worth a check. It's not a life-changing horror game, but it's immersive enough to keep you hooked for a while.

If you enjoy a solid mystery that dips its toe into the horror realm, and you have a strong stomach and/or a morbid sense of humor, this is something that is worth your time, even if the ending doesn’t live up to the narrative build-up.

Martha is Dead is truly horrific, perhaps in the fact, it is juxtaposed with being so beautiful. This game will make you feel many things and it does it extremely well. Days after finishing the game I continue to think about it. Several of the mini-games are frustrating and could use some tweaking, some worked. Overall, Martha is Dead is totally worth it for gamers looking for a deep, dark, and psychological thriller to explore.

Martha is Dead is a game that takes a lot of risks. The story told as well as the plot surrounding Martha's death is extremely well written. I was eager to know the end of the story. The realism as well as the many objectives to be carried out will push you to search every corner in search of clues. It should be noted that the game is extremely graphic and the violence is shown without filter (in the uncensored version) in addition to forcing you to participate. The violent scenes serve to show us the state of mind of our character. The game is very disturbing as well as uncomfortable, but its what makes it stand out.

If the developers had reigned in some of the more grotesque aspects of the story (and sped up the gameplay) this could have been far better. As it is, Martha is Dead is a game that is sometimes easy to admire but often hard to like.

The dark atmosphere of the Italian village during the Second World War supports great audio that will not allow you to break away from the screen. But a great story kills the technical problems of the game. Freezing, crashing, and a lot of problems will literally disgust you.
