The Stone of Madness Reviews
The Stone of Madness looks gorgeous, planning around the prisoners’ strengths and phobias makes for an intense stealth adventure that is ruined by bugs. I would rather smash my face against brutal enemies than succumb to glitches, which is how I felt my time with The Stone of Madness has been spent.
The Stone of Madness is one of those games that leaves its mark, one of those that, after playing them, you think that it will be a long time before you experience a similar adventure again. A superb artistic design, magnificent gameplay and a wonderful script come together to create a stealth adventure that, on its own merits, will become a cult game.

The Stone of Madness delivers a puzzling experience that forces players to be creative and quick. Its gameplay elements largely succeed at providing a unique challenge, while its world and characters are easily forgotten.
A tactical game in real time where stealth will be our best ally to get the five prisoners we control to escape alive from the monastery in which they are trapped. An essential adventure from The Game Kitchen.

The Stone of Madness isn’t perfect by any means, but its successes readily outweigh its missteps. Its emphasis on real-time stealth and simultaneous control over three distinct characters at a time work to create some very hectic gameplay situations, naturally encouraging the player to learn and improve. Infusing this rewarding gameplay with a striking art style and a tinge of dark humor makes for a unique experience worth looking into, even if the controls can be clunky and the guards can be a little too good at catching up with you when you make a mistake.
A visually stunning and mechanically intriguing stealth game, The Stone of Madness delivers a fresh take on the genre but struggles with technical shortcomings and accessibility.
The Stone of Madness is one of the most frustrating games I've ever played. Despite its beautiful art style, great characters, compelling narrative, and unique gameplay, the obtuse puzzles, absurd difficulty, lack of accessibility, and numerous technical glitches make this experience absolutely not worth it unless you want to feel as stressed and insane as the game's characters.
“The Stone of Madness” impresses with its intelligent gameplay and atmospheric visual presentation. Unfortunately, the controls are sometimes poorly thought out and caused me a lot of frustration. There are also bugs and glitches, as well as a sometimes confusing camera perspective. Too bad, with a little more fine-tuning “The Stone of Madness” could have been quite something.
