    Past Cure's mix of stealth and action is fun. After a mediocre beginning, even the mysterious story picks up speed.

    Past Cure is a mix of good and bad, but all of it is very cinematic and filled with atmosphere at least.

    Though there are some definite strengths throughout Past Cure, like the textural environments, the melodies and the overall world duality, it simply fails to really take advantage of the hype gained from its badass trailers.

    In spite of a good atmosphere and a worth story, Past Cure suffers from wacky gameplay and a short overall experience. Obviously Phantom 8 got too ambitious on this project.

    An intriguing narrative is interrupted by long bouts of boring wave-based shooting against generic enemies in dull locations. I can’t help but think of the early moments in Ian’s house, seeing ceramic horrors in reflections and being excited for a cinematic psychological-horror action game that would never come to be.

    An interesting story isn't enough to save Past Cure. The main culprits? Lacklustre controls and an absolute overdose of bugs. Shame.

    Past Cure does many things well, but it fails where it's more important: at its core mechanics. Dull and repetitive shootings and boring and unfair stealth make some sequences almost unbearables, but there are some good moments too. Let's hope a few patches can improve the adventure.

    This is already easily in the running for one of 2018’s worst game. Woefully inadequate nonsense.

    I’ve played the game before and now I played again with the new patch 1.05 and complete it from a couple of hours and I must really say itI’ve played the game before and now I played again with the new patch 1.05 and complete it from a couple of hours and I must really say it makes the game much better! With the changes you have more horror sections and the boring areas are removed. The gameplay makes now more fun ^^ New abilities are also handy. The bed voice acting it’s almost remove only in the prison level it’s still there xD Also the bad cutscenes
    have been removed but there are still a few that do not look so good. It is really great that the developers have made the effort and published a very good patch! :)    … Full Review »

    For an indie team (8-9) the game is good. The graphics are good and the game play is decent.

Clearly the graphics and cutscenes are still not really good but thanks to the great variety the atmosphere and interesting story some potential. I was also impressed that with so few people and little money can make a game like this... alone for that I give a big plus!… Full Review »
