    Thoughtful survival-based mechanics paired with some deeply unsettling Lovecraftian horror make Moons of Madness a must-have for fans of scary video games.

    Best thing about Moons Of Madness is the way atmospheric horror is gradually built up during the first two hours. Sadly, this dread slowly dissipates in the latter stages, when less ambiguous enemy encounters feel a little out of place and forced. Overall, though, this is an excellent sci-fi horror game with an engaging story and an extremely eerie setting. [Issue #175, p.70]

    Moons of Madness debuts on PlayStation 4: a great first-person horror videogame, with an excellent conversion.

    Love all the things this could have been which just makes the game that much worse when it doesn't deliver.

The game has an intense atmosphere that keeps you anticipating what will happen next. Puzzles are pretty basic and not too difficult. The story is quite gripping and interesting but it loses its momentum towards the end. It is a game worth trying when it's discounted Full Review »
