    It may not be very long, but Dagon: Complete Edition does a fabulous job of depicting some of the stories that make the Lovecraft mythos so enticing. It's not much of a game either, and one of the DLCs feels a bit out of place. Still, the experience compels you to delve into the abyss, which is exactly what the source material does in the first place.

    More of an audiobook than video game, Dagon: Complete Edition is a fitting tribute to Lovecraft's work. The experience is elevated by excellent narration and quality prose, immersing players in an atmospheric journey.

    Dagon: Complete Edition is a love letter to some of HP Lovecraft’s earliest tales. It tells gripping narratives across four separate tales with superb visuals and sound design. This type of media is certainly not for everyone but for fans of Lovecraft there is enough to satisfy your hunger with the in game collectibles on offer to uncover. It’s just a shame the experience is extremely short; I long for games that can tell these tales but in a AAA format. But for now, this will certainly do.
