May 11, 2026Call of the Elder Gods is a fabulous sequel to Call of the Sea that manages to be even more interesting for those who enjoy cosmic horror, environmental puzzles, and mystery stories with the flavor of pulp literature, tabletop RPGs, and impossible archaeology. It improves on its predecessor in every way: in length (it’s somewhat longer), in its number of different locations, characters, narrative, script, technical quality, and, above all, in the variety, mechanics, and depth of its puzzles.

May 11, 2026Call of the Elder Gods sticks to its formula of pure adventure—no action—with a wide variety of puzzles and situations that keep you hooked from start to finish... though its gameplay style may not be for everyone. But if it clicks with you, get ready for a fun challenge.

May 19, 2026Runs with the ball from Call of the Sea, including smart and satisfying puzzles, and throws in a fair amount of creepiness and surreal visions to boot.

May 16, 2026Call of the Elder Gods proves to be a convincing sequel to that Call of the Sea, which delighted players a few years ago. The strength of this adventure lies in its fantastic Lovecraftian narrative, which proves engaging and up to expectations. Adding variety to the dynamics is a puzzle gameplay system that is decidedly satisfying and intuitive, even though it may cause serious difficulty on more than one occasion (fortunately, the difficulty is scalable, in a sense). Building on excellent foundations, the second chapter of this saga (which we recommend you experience in full) presents us with a new fork in the road that leaves a door open (but we won't say anything more) and puts two endings in front of us to discover, even though they will essentially head in the same direction. Even though Call of the Elder Gods was designed as an experience aimed at everyone, we are sure that those who have already played Call of the Sea will be able to delve more deeply into this worthy little piece of the Lovecraft universe.

May 12, 2026Thanks to a generous hint system and another excellent story, Call of the Elder Gods, is a puzzle game that everyone can enjoy.

ScreenHubMay 12, 2026Ultimately, between the two, I prefer Call of the Sea. It’s a more cohesive game with a stronger story. But Call of the Elder Gods is a worthwhile follow-up, one that offers similarly challenging puzzles with satisfying solutions. If you enjoyed the first game, this call’s worth heeding, too.

Jun 18, 2026Call of the Elder Gods is smart, pretty, and, on occasion, satisfying, but it is also way too talky and too structurally obvious to become an absorbing experience. There are good puzzles here, and some will absolutely enjoy picking through its clues and strange story and lore. However, it lacks the confidence, elegance, and restraint needed to feel like an essential adventure-puzzle game.
