Giulia’s mother never loved her the way she loved Martha, and this relationship, or lack thereof, has eaten away at Giulia’s spirits for years. After Giulia finds Martha, drowned in a lake, her mother runs to embrace Giulia, mistakenly believing her least-favorite child perished. Finally, she gets the love and affection she’s always wanted. What happens next is unexpected, jaw-dropping even, and I was immediately captivated by the premise. Unfortunately, Martha Is Dead quickly becomes a chore to play.","2025-03-26T07:54:49.847577-04:00",{"id":253,"logo":267,"name":268,"slug":269,"tags":26,"bluesky":26,"twitter":270,"youtube":271,"facebook":272,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":273,"website_url":274,"score_format":46,"average_score":47,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":275,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":143,"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":277,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":278,"author":279,"original_score":286,"normalized_score":58,"review_url":287,"review_date":263,"summary":288,"created_at":289,"updated_at":289,"author_id":280,"last_edited_at":66,"outlet":290},28593,29,{"id":280,"bio":26,"name":281,"avg_score":282,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":283,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":284,"claim_token":26,"article_count":285,"claimed_by_user_id":26},3042,"Shubhankar Parijat",77.5,"2024-12-05T09:02:20.091375-05:00","2026-05-25T20:06:22.924979-04:00",204,"6.0","https:\u002F\u002Fgamingbolt.com\u002Fmartha-is-dead-review-face-off","Martha is Dead is best appreciated from a distance, because while its narrative premise and setting are certainly impressive, the game itself is slow as molasses and frustratingly clunky.","2024-12-05T09:31:27.670386-05:00",{"id":278,"logo":291,"name":292,"slug":293,"tags":294,"bluesky":26,"twitter":295,"youtube":296,"facebook":297,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":298,"website_url":299,"score_format":46,"average_score":300,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":301,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGaming%20Bolt%20Logo.png","GamingBolt","gamingbolt","[  \n  'corporate_owned',\n  'online_media',\n  'ingestion_pending'\n  ]","GamingBoltTweet","GamingBoltLive","gamingbolt.official","We are one of the most frequently updated sources of gaming news on the internet.
