Apr 5, 2021While it perfectly captures the spirit and tone of the Cthulhu Mythos with a well-crafted story, iconic locations, and classic characters, the game is marred by low-resolution graphics, mediocre voice acting, confusing mechanics, and a general lack of polish.

Feb 27, 2022It is an excellent little game that does what it's meant to do: capture the essence of the board game. Interesting, funny characters, cool and stylish visuals and a great story mixed with simple but satisfying combat.

Jul 10, 2021Less than two years since the last Lovecraft based game, the Nintendo Switch port of Call of Cthulhu, we have a new game based on the vast and influential works of the inmortal author. This Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace really embraces its board game origins, creating a mixture of exploration, puzle-solving, clue-gathering and turn-time combats. The story is good, but not too deep, and the mechanics and visuals show good ideas, fun ideas, but also a not enough budget to put’em all the right way. Another hit ’n miss Lovecraft game, but with a good atmosphere and pretty fun somehow.

Apr 22, 2021If you have about 6-8 hours of time and you want to solve a mystery while trying to avoid madness, then I’d say Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace is a good time.

Apr 9, 2021If you can look past all of the issues plaguing Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace, there are certainly worse games to spend a weekend with. Especially if you’re a fan of Lovecraftian horror, but steer clear of it if you’re somebody that asks of your 2021 gaming experiences to at least feel like you’re playing something made in the past fifteen years. Granted, I’ll be curious to see if this receives a sequel, as I do believe this series could become a sleeper hit. Stay tuned.
