Autopsy Simulator Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Autopsy Simulator succeeded in the simulation aspect of the game in spades, offering an engaging gameplay loop and voice narration. It has a hard time balancing the gameplay side with the story however, often feeling like an afterthought instead of a complimentary piece. Check out why in this review.
In the game's current state, I recommend it as an above average, albeit not groundbreaking, psychological horror title - but I can't recommend it as a simulator. Autopsy Simulator ironically isn't a simulator, but it's a pretty good psychological horror game that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Autopsy Simulator is a realistic exploration of the work of a pathologist, with horror elements thrown in. But, as gorgeously gruesome as its graphics are, it's seriously held back by the amount of hand-holding, robbing you of any real decision-making.
I went into Autopsy Simulator with expectations and hopes for a game that confronted the messy realities of mortality and gave an insight into the neglected world of the mortuary. However, the game at present is so preoccupied with telling a hackneyed story that it is difficult to recommend. Hopefully the promised autopsy only mode will remedy this.
