    Overall 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.

    Good production value but a very mediocre game. 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.    … Expand

    Tiene una muy buena idea, sería un gran juego si no fuera por la cantidad de Bugs que lo hacen muy difícil de disfrutar. Bloqueos y crasheos cada poco rato y otros tantos que impiden subir de nivel normalmente ect

    Un jeu bien équilibré entre l'aspect rogulite et le côté gestion du cult et des ressources. La difficulté peut être modifié pour que tout le monde puisse apprécié le jeu.

    Итак игра отличная.Совмещает в себе так и экшен рогалик, и симулятор ухаживания и строительства.Эта игра хоть и в 2D но графика отличная.И затянет она на много!

    Soulless game with bullet hell elements but I don't get why it's a sensation. If it didn't have twitch integration it wouldn't really be noticed at all.

    Game has tons of bugs, that by itself would be bad but understandable, mistakes happen. But after a whole month there's not been a single patch released on xbox to take care of the issue.

    Cool concept, art style, character designs etc.. The combat mechanics are way too basic and shallow though. More of a base-building game than a hack & slay. Maybe I'm just not the target audience. Play Hades instead if you haven't.

This game has stolen my heart completely, and they just keep updating the game for free (I was unaware/unexpecting). From launch til now at least on Xbox is a drastic improvement on an already amazing game, it runs so stable and looks just incredible for the style. Makes a great gift as well, I can't stop going back to make a new village or expand a prior, or up the difficulty. Highly recommend, this game is a gem.… Expand

    Really cute and fun game. Thoroughly enjoyed it, my only disappointment is that there isn't a whole load of replay value after you've finished the main story. I would've liked a reason to keep going on crusades, but it seems pointless as there is nothing to gain from it.

    美术风格突出，游戏难度一般，即使在最高难度。种地能非常有效的解决一切困难，扩大规模可以让一切迎刃而解。总体上讲是不错的小品级作品，不要期望太高，这不是大家想的那种大作。当然定价在国区较高，性价比降下来了。游戏的bug开始时很多，但是后期部分有得到修正，虽然那时候我已经通关了。。。美术风格突出，游戏难度一般，即使在最高难度。种地能非常有效的解决一切困难，扩大规模可以让一切迎刃而解。总体上讲是不错的小品级作品，不要期望太高，这不是大家想的那种大作。当然定价在国区较高，性价比降下来了。游戏的bug开始时很多，但是后期部分有得到修正，虽然那时候我已经通关了。。。

    Cult of the Lamb has been around for almost a month and I don't even know why so many, with xbox, rate the game so well. either because they are just starting out or because they don't want to see all the bugs. maybe they was paid....

Well the last one is just a guess. In any case, I can't ignore the fact that the game suffers massively from bugs that, after a certain playing time, regularly lead to crashes or force you to restart the game. the developers and publishers don't seem to care either, even if you try to contact them on Twitter. devolver digital ignore the request and prefer to advertise newer games. Massive Monster and their side account cultofthelamb are doing the same thing, promoting plush lambs. so I have to assume they don't see it as important to put resources into game systems that aren't considered profitable for them. and in this case it's the xbox systems. I know this for sure because I've tested it on all Xbox One and Series systems and it's almost always the same bugs. therefore this review is for all xbox systems. I hope this helps some.… Expand

    O game é bom mas fica bem enjoativo ao longo do tempo, por isso dou um 6.
    A história é bem legal e animação muito bem feita e bonitinha.

What’s keeping this game an 8 and nothing higher is how much you have to actually babysit your cult before you can go into combat and i mean it’s good but you almost have to spend days with them at some points. I really loved the tarot cards as perks. I really loved it and you have to say it’s very creative!… Expand

    The Graphics are very charming and the gameplay is very fun and reminiscent of Games like Death's door. It has a lot of Interesting boss and mini-boss fights. And Building your Village rarely feels tedious. One of my favorite Games.

    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.

    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.
