Feb 10, 2025This Spanish tactical stealth game offers a deep and satisfying challenge with creative character abilities and well-designed levels, but its rigid difficulty, control issues, and frustrating mechanics limit player creativity and slow down progress. Despite its flaws, future patches could refine its mechanics and bring out its full potential.

Jan 28, 2025The Stone of Madness delivers a puzzling experience that forces players to be creative and quick. Its gameplay elements largely succeed at providing a unique challenge, while its world and characters are easily forgotten.

Mar 17, 2025It has a great atmosphere and visuals that complement it, but due to technical issues and problematic design choices, it fails to reach its full potential. I wish its release had been delayed and given more thought.

Jan 28, 2025The Stone of Madness has some excellent art and great moments of sneaking around. But what should have been a fairly replayable and interesting prison break ends up buckling under the weight of its technical problems. Progress-halting bugs, graphical issues, and finicky controls all turn otherwise-engaging sneaking missions into frustrating excursions. With some extra tuning, The Stone of Madness could be a refreshing take on tactical stealth. As-is, there are too many obstacles getting in the way of what’s good here.
