LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 25, 2024The game features excellent voice acting, which will have you shaking your head in bliss at the English village accent. Apart from the voice acting, the other audio components don't disappoint either, with the music and ambient environmental sounds wonderfully adding to the oppressive atmosphere, and more than once you'll be scared stiff.

Feb 27, 2023I had a great time playing The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow, so I’m compelled to recommend this to anyone who loves point & click adventure games. The outstanding voice-acting, stellar soundtrack and well-written story are easily among the best things this game has to offer. Hail, Abraxas Rex!

Dec 31, 2022The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow was a pleasant surprise for me — a fantastic game in its own right, but one whose story doesn’t deserve to end here. I absolutely need a book, film, or TV adaptation of this story, and the great thing is you wouldn’t have to change much for it to be ready for consumption in other media. Although I did find myself struggling to make sense of the ending, I suspect a second playthrough is all I’d need to clear up any questions I still have. The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow is truly a pixel art masterpiece — one that definitely deserves a deep dig.
