Designing my island and keeping all of the villagers on it happy was thoroughly enjoyable, but after a few dozen hours, I craved a new type of gameplay to coincide with what I was doing each day. Cult of the Lamb, a mish-mash of adorably cute animals, critters, and creatures and macabre cult-isms, remedies that issue with an expansive action-combat dungeon system. I only wish its base building provided the same kind of satisfaction its combat does. When I wanted to focus on designing a cult aesthetically, I found the game pushing my hand towards focusing on resource management, chipping away at the fun I was having otherwise. Building your cult from the ground up and designing its headquarters is fun, but you’re soon pushed into using your cult as a means of manufacturing in-game currencies and resources, and this sometimes gets in the way of actually making my cult feel like home.","2025-03-26T07:55:39.320924-04:00",{"id":528,"logo":540,"name":541,"slug":542,"tags":26,"bluesky":26,"twitter":543,"youtube":544,"facebook":545,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":546,"website_url":547,"score_format":46,"average_score":47,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":548,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":77,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fgameinformer.jpg","Game Informer","gameinformer","GameInformer","@gameinformer","officialgameinformer","Over 30 years celebrating the best of games in print and online.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameinformer.com\u002F","Minneapolis",{"id":550,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":551,"author":552,"original_score":46,"normalized_score":558,"review_url":559,"review_date":481,"summary":560,"created_at":561,"updated_at":561,"author_id":553,"last_edited_at":561,"outlet":562},140641,147,{"id":553,"bio":26,"name":554,"avg_score":555,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":556,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":557,"claim_token":26,"article_count":33,"claimed_by_user_id":26},11817,"Mark Isaacson",81.70886075949367,"2025-04-30T12:50:20.822535-04:00","2025-07-08T17:43:09.8151-04:00",100,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.well-played.com.au\u002Fcult-of-the-lamb-review\u002F","Cult of the Lamb stands as a true masterpiece of not one but two genres.
