    I can honestly say that Cult of the Lamb was a pure enjoyment with every minute of gameplay and worth every penny of the $24.99 price tag. Massive Monster Studios has an iconic hit on their hands with Cult of the Lamb and that is thanks to a simplistic yet fluid gameplay mechanic, combined with a creative community management balanced with exploration and depth that rival some mainstream titles. After playing this, I am looking for something this year that can come close to touching this for Game of the Year. I can say that I'm a devout believer and 100% converted follower to fan.

    Cult of the Lamb has made a follower out of me. Recruiting followers, building a base, and running through a gratifying loop of fighting, looting, and dying all merge into an incredibly satisfying game.

    Cult of the Lamb is an incredible rogue-lite title. What's more, it is jam-packed with content and is addictive as hell. Though there are reports of glitches and bugs, I fortunately never experienced any. Consequently, it excelled in many elements and I loved it.

    Cult of the Lamb is a fantastic game with a novel idea that gives the player many activities to do while making your very own Heaven’s Gate. A must play for fans of any genre.

    Cult of the Lamb is the perfect combination of the rogelike genre and management games. Find resources and gain followers by managing your village to flatter the greatest of demons, that is, you.

    Cult of the Lamb is of course a very popular game and I understand why: it's cute, disturbing, and an excellent game to stream.

    Cult of the Lamb truly is a great gaming experience reminiscent of Moonlighter with its interdependent management/rogue-like aspect. The sadistic elements that one would expect from a demonic cult are cleverly designed and the whole experience almost feels as a God Game as one can do almost anything they yearn for with the cult. Both the management and the action parts do not take any risks and remain too classic. Nevertheless, their adequate balance enable the player to fully appreciate the title’s offbeat concept.

Play on hard and you see how **** up the overall balance is, how bad the tutorial (like do something wrong an being stuck in base for 7 days(!)), feel the bugs in gameplay (sometimes enemy’s ignore push back etc.). Hitboxes are…yeah, they are there. And they are BAD.

    Scaling overall is a joke. Want to love the game but the mediocre gameplay and lazy as **** „difficulty“ system lowers this to a average 5. If you don’t care about gameplay but just some cool fancy optics and cult feeling, go for it. But gameplay wise, there are WAY better games out there.    … Full Review »

    Overall good game. Nice animation. Music is funny, but couldn't progress because of bugs. Stuck on quest where Ritual was needed. UIOverall good game. Nice animation. Music is funny, but couldn't progress because of bugs. Stuck on quest where Ritual was needed. UI disappeared. Also, got game stuck when rolled b/n levels during the crusade. Only option - load. Overall, game does not work for me anymore and new save made it worse. Leaving 3 because it is how much I've spent hours doing the same task over again, then stuck, then loading, then bugging again.… Full Review »
