Call of the Elder Gods Reviews

If I don't pick up on the third ring, I'm not answering.

For any Fans of Call of the Sea, then the sequel, Call of the Elder Gods will be right up your alley. It continues the eldritch story with new locations, characters, and brain scratching puzzles.

Thanks to a generous hint system and another excellent story, Call of the Elder Gods, is a puzzle game that everyone can enjoy.

Call of the Sea was a game that I loved when it first released over five years ago, and so I was hugely excited to see that a sequel was coming and have been looking forward to diving back in since. Serving as a direct continuation of the original’s story, Call of the Elder Gods definitely benefits from having played the first, but there is an effective summary available at the beginning of the game if you haven’t, and that game’s finale necessitated a new protagonist for this sequel anyway.

Call of the Elder Gods is a beautiful, haunting and sometimes funny first-person puzzle game. It has a strong focus on its world and characters, with fabulous writing and lovely voice acting. The puzzles are clever, offering a mix of subtle and more grandiose brain scramblers. If you're a fan of cosmic horror or the Lovecraft mythos, Call of the Elder Gods is going to be a game you'll want to dive into immediately. This is one of the most outstanding games of the year so far, and it's not one you're going to want to miss.

Call of the Elder Gods is a new adventure game from Out of the Blue Games. Following up on Call of the Sea, the game dives once again in its universe.

If you enjoyed Call of the Sea, you'll want to pick up this sequel that stars Norah's husband Harry and university student Evangeline as they explore new mysterious lands.

The journal system is key to the game, and it jots down things your character notices from inspecting everything. In other words, it might show symbols or painting details you've discovered conveniently in one place, so you don't need to jog from room to room (and back) to solve puzzles. It's very well done in a way that doesn't outright spoil solutions, as you still need to figure them out.

Beautiful and mysterious, Call of the Elder Gods is a must-play for any fan of puzzle games. It might not be quite as good as its predecessor in terms of story and setting, but it's still absolutely worth your time, as long as you've got your thinking cap on.

While this might not be my usual type of game, I had a great time with it nonetheless. Elder Gods is crammed with gorgeous set pieces, clever puzzles, and engrossing writing. I got stuck more than I would have liked, which threw off the pacing. Between that and the adventurous tone, this game wasn’t quite what I was expecting. Even so, Call of the Elder Gods was a delightful time. If you’re in the mood for an eerie eldritch adventure, this game would be a great choice.

Although it may not reach the heights of other narrative-puzzle contemporaries released since Call of the Sea, Call of the Elder Gods is still an entertaining test for your noggin, wrapped in an adequately engaging Lovecraft-inspired story.

The Lovecraftian Mythos lends itself to all kinds of games, but the real focus is the sense of mystery and...

Call of the Elder Gods is filled with some genuinely well-designed brain teasers, and a plot that eventually had me hooked, further fuelling my desire to solve the central mystery.
