Ad Infinitum Reviews
Ad Infinitum is an ambitious game. You can feel the love and effort of the developers, but it falls far short of the required quality. It tries to tell the dark story of a PTSD soldier and his family in World War I. It tries to combine the horrifying reality of life in the trenches with the dreamlike terror of nightmares. It succeeds in many of these things, but unfortunately, they are brought down by many other unpolished aspects of the game. As a result, the overall experience is as disjointed as the title's intermittent quality.

Ad Infinitum is notable for being a psychological horror set against a backdrop of World War I. If you can forgive the derivative gameplay, the game does its job well.

While Ad Infinitum's interesting World War I backdrop for a horror game might entice you initially, its lack of polish and uninspired gameplay prevent you from being engaged until the end.
Ad Infinitum is a little off balance when it comes to how difficult and unfair a few of its challenges are compared to the rest of the game, but with enough patience or guidance to make it through those sections, the rest of the game is set at an intense pace, while an excellently creepy atmosphere and a family whose horrors and the trauma they and the war have imparted onto the protagonist fill the game with character.
Ad Infinitum wraps a deeply moving story of trauma, loss, fear, and self-discovery into a horror game that gets under your skin. The sound design is fantastic and provides numerous moments of suspense. However, the debut effort from German studio Hekate also suffers from gameplay flaws and clumsy animations. But if you can get into the story and overlook the aforementioned flaws, Ad Infinitum is an excellent horror game with depth.
