Oct 28, 2024Those who were looking forward to a bloodier and more classic Resident Evil from an independent studio will either be disappointed or not enjoy the game the way the creators of Pneumata intended.
-
Sep 18, 2024For the first creation of a solo developer, Pneumata is a well-put-together, albeit flawed game with some nice visuals, something any amateur should be proud of. However, it may not be the magnum opus of horror that it claims itself to be, and buyers should consider their expectations accordingly.

Oct 30, 2024Pneumata had great potential as a horror game and tried to fill in the blanks. Unfortunately, while they nail the horror atmosphere, everything else falls short. It's either the standard survival horror or the gameplay interferes with the enjoyment. This could be a great horror experience, but the fear doesn't come from the atmosphere. It's the gameplay flaws that truly scare you.

Oct 11, 2024Pneumata might look good and it has some overall good enemies and play control, but there are tons and tons of negatives in this game that weight it down. Outside of achievements, this game has no replay value at all. I’d only recommend this game to the most hardcore of hardcore survival horror fans. If you have to play every single horror game out at the moment then give it a try and judge it for yourself. Other than that, I would recommend Fobia or Jack Holmes for those that want a taste of an RE7-inspired survival horror.

Sep 23, 2024To put it in horror terms, Pneumata is a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde construct. The game environments, sound and lighting are top-notch, but the gameplay is subpar. Maybe future updates will improve the gameplay, but it feels pretty baked in right now, so I doubt it.
-
Oct 16, 2024Pneumata is one of those games where the only notable positive is that it was developed by a sole creator. Beyond that, every aspect of the game falls short, from the derivative gameplay to the poor level design and nonexistent A.I.
-
Oct 3, 2024After seven hours and a laugh-inducingly goofy ending, the cosmically mysterious horror remains mostly a jumble of mazes and unfinished game design. The horror-adventure genre is too crowded to make room for Pneumata, and I think we'll forget about this game and wish Deadbolt Interactive better luck next time.
