    Call 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.

    Call 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.

    Beautiful and mysterious, Call of the Elder Gods is a must-play for any fan of puzzle games. It might not be quite as good as its predecessor in terms of story and setting, but it's still absolutely worth your time, as long as you've got your thinking cap on.

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

    Call of the Elder Gods is a decent enough game, but its storytelling and puzzle design leaves a little to be desired.

    Ultimately, 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.
