Jun 3, 2019The Padre is a game that successfully combines visual art and soundtrack, but the frustrating controls and the constant alteration between terror and comedy reduces the immersion of the experience.
-
May 9, 2019The Padre is a delightfully creepy game that you can move through at your own pace, with plenty of treats for horror fans to find amidst the central mystery.
-
May 3, 2019The Padre is a good idea but somewhat disappointing. Its bad graphics optimization and a gameplay that has much to improve make the experience is not entirely positive. What does stand out is its soundtrack.

Apr 26, 2019The Padre has so much potential but sadly it fails to deliver on most of the aspects I was really looking forward to. With uninteresting gameplay and clunky controls it's fairly difficult for me to recommend this game as a survival horror. If you go into this expecting a witty adventure, you may enjoy it more.

Apr 17, 2019While The Padre is a far from perfect indie offering, its mixture of satisfyingly challenging puzzles, a dark sense of humour and a perennial love for classic survival horror makes for an intriguing addition to the genre. The issues with combat and the sometimes infuriating nature of its puzzles can grate, but with a little extra polish The Padre has the potential to be a real hidden gem on Nintendo Switch.

Jul 23, 2019The Padre has some interesting ideas, but they're undermined by a stiff gameplay and an art style that doesn't quite match the game's tone.

Apr 24, 2019The Padre is a great idea, let down by a lack of proper direction and some frustratingly obtuse puzzle design.
