Call of Cthulhu is a sweet and exquisite gift to adventure lovers, especially fans of the late writer H.P.Lovecraft and a short story of the same name. Combining fascinating story and storytelling, along with adventure gameplay with elements of survival horror and role-playing, make for a memorable journey into the world of Lovecraft imagination. Call of Cthulhu may not be much of a hit during the big game storm of the year, but fans of the adventure genre certainly can't miss this game.

A detective adventure game loyal to Lovecraft's themes, not too hard and with a good story.

The RPG element pulls from the tabletop side version of the game with character sheets and skill checks. With the different encounters you have with people, you will have dialogue choices that will change the flow of the story.
Dive off into the depths of madness with this compelling, Lovecraftian RPG.
True Lovecraft Horror. For Fans and those New to the Genre. I appreciated a different type of horror game that plays into classic Lovecraft Horror and forgoes the all too common jump scares we have in so many games today. If you are looking for a different kind of story that walks you down the path of the ancient ones and a descent to madness, check Call of Cthulhu game out.
Call of Cthulhu is an interesting retelling of H.P. Lovecrafts famous story. The game mixes aspects of detective- and horror games and does it well. Fear plays an extra factor as well throughout the story. The fun only gets spoiled by some small mistakes.

The engaging atmosphere and detective aspect of Call of Cthulhu are phenomenal yet it manages to devolve into an irritating mess.
While there are a lot of technical issues, thanks to a good storyline, amazing art design and fascinating atmosphere, Call of Cthulhu managed to provide an enjoyable experience for the fans

An unpolished, but ultimately charming and engaging take on H. P. Lovecraft's most famous creation. A must for psychological horror fans.
Chaosium's unhallowed tabletop RPG gets a proper video game representation that nails the feel of a pen and paper campaign in a single player mode.
Call of Cthulhu has a lot of things going for it, with a unique take on the genre and some solid scares on offer. Horror fans should give it a look, but you're going to have to be patient with its blemishes.
Call of Cthulhu is a genuinely fun and engaging adventure game that is unfortunately dragged down by everything else. The story is engaging and fun, the mysteries are creative, and it does justice to the sense of otherworldly terror that is at the centerpiece of the Call of Cthulhu pen-and-paper game. Unfortunately, the stealth and combat sequences pull down the game and prevent it from being an easy recommendation. If you have the patience to sit through some rough patches, there's a lot for CoC aficionados to explore.
Whether you're a Lovecraft fan or not, there's a lot here to love – just don't blame me if you have to clean Elder God-sized arse-prints off your windows.
Call of Cthulhu is a case of the whole being better than the sum of its parts.
Call of Cthulhu is the Cthulhu RPG I never realised I needed in my life. From the moment the atmosphere shifted upon entry to Darkwater, I was hooked. The Cthulhu mythology is presented with obvious appreciation for the source material, crafting a story of cosmic horror and the cults being crazy enough to worship those beings. Aside from some difficulty with sneaking, the game makes the descent into madness... fun? Can one have fun when descending into madness?
Of course, fans of the Lovecraftian universe shouldn't skip Cyanide's take on the Cthulhu mythos, but don't go in with high expectations or you'll be terribly disappointed. The least Call of Cthulhu can do is quench your thirst for Lovecraftian fiction until The Sinking City releases in March, 2019.
As someone who is interested in this mythology I found a lot to like about Call of Cthulhu.
Call of Cthulhu is a game that deserves attention. With interesting gameplay mechanics and a story that surpasses the technical issues, the game manages to keep the player engaged into solving the mistery. The possibility of having different endings will make the player go on an adventure again on the island of Darkwater. Call of Cthulhu deserves to be investigated in 2018.

Call of Cthulhu plays like a cross between a walking sim, a Telltale game, and Outlast. If that sounds like an uneven experience, that's because it is.
