Critic Reviews for Call of the Elder Gods
Call of the Elder Gods is a first-person adventure that wonderfully captures an otherworldly tone and the sense of mystery of its predecessor, and it nails the emotional core while giving its characters and puzzle design time to shine.
Although it may not reach the heights of other narrative-puzzle contemporaries released since Call of the Sea, Call of the Elder Gods is still an entertaining test for your noggin, wrapped in an adequately engaging Lovecraft-inspired story.
Call of the Elder Gods is a new adventure game from Out of the Blue Games. Following up on Call of the Sea, the game dives once again in its universe.
Call of the Elder Gods is a beautiful, haunting and sometimes funny first-person puzzle game. It has a strong focus on its world and characters, with fabulous writing and lovely voice acting. The puzzles are clever, offering a mix of subtle and more grandiose brain scramblers. If you're a fan of cosmic horror or the Lovecraft mythos, Call of the Elder Gods is going to be a game you'll want to dive into immediately. This is one of the most outstanding games of the year so far, and it's not one you're going to want to miss.
Out of the Blue repeats its formula and delivers a great puzzle adventure that knows exactly what it's doing and is aimed at a very specific audience.

Call of the Elder Gods is a very good puzzle adventure game that continues the narrative of the first game and adds some interesting new characters to the mix. At its best it contains some of the most engaging and enjoyable puzzles you'll find, though there are some dips in quality that drag things down a bit. I would recommend the first game over this for newcomers, but if you've already enjoyed that title then you'll get a lot out of this too, just don't expect it to be quite as polished.
The Cthulhu mythos resonates in Call of the Elder Gods, which closely follows the gameplay of its predecessor, Call of the Sea, but offers a more solid structure and an equally intriguing storyline. Some gameplay elements could have been better utilized to give this sequel more personality; nevertheless, fans of the genre and those who enjoyed the controversial first installment of the series are sure to appreciate it.

Call of the Elder Gods is a worthy successor to Call of the Sea in almost every way. Combining exploration with some stellar puzzles and gameplay the game manages to tell a wonderful story with a Lovecraftian twist.
