Sorry We're Closed Reviews

Professional reviews from gaming critics

Sorry We’re Closed is a divine contender for best adaptation of nostalgic ‘90s gaming while reaching the tier of 2010s handheld era titles. A must-have and a must-want for anyone without a PC.

Between angels and demons, maybe being human isn't so bad.

Sorry, We're Closed does a lot of things well: storytelling, organic world building, and writing. It even adds in its own twists on the horror genre, like the neon presentation and the way it delivers combat. The Third Eye makes for a nice touch as well. Aiming can be a finicky problem unless you turn on aim assist, and the game likes to throw a lot of enemies at you. Even with all that, Sorry, We're Closed is an easy recommendation and necessary content for anyone even claiming to be a horror fan.

Sorry We're Closed is a beautiful horror game that opts not to use the terror that players would expect. Instead, it focuses on crafting a beautiful story focused on the concept of love, plus creating characters, gameplay mechanics, and an artistic direction that will stay with you long after the credits roll. Despite the lack of emphasis on horror, the game is still an unforgettable experience that I will be thinking about for a long time.

Sorry We're Closed beautifully takes that otherworldly psychological horror of games such as Silent Hill and puts its own colorful spin on things, resulting in a game filled with an eye-popping visual style, a terrific story with a clever look at relationships via angels and demons, and an amazing cast of characters, including one truly memorable and unsettling villain, alongside a lot of other surreal and spooky moments. While the combat may be a tad frustrating later on, it all still makes for a great entry into the genre and definitely one to pick up.

Sorry We're Closed is a gripping, unique experience that will appeal to fans of psychological horror and puzzles. Its atmosphere and story make it worth the challenge. However, its relative lack of action may turn off some players.

Thankfully, Sorry We’re Closed only ran around six hours before I saw one of the endings. Those moments of anguish were not massive parts of the game, although they were gnarly roadblocks. Everything else, from the vibes to the storytelling, and even the combat when it was reasonable, were compelling to the end. I’m still curious about the other endings, but the trauma from that generator setpiece has me wanting to wait for possible adjustments or new settings in the future. Horror enthusiasts, especially those who revel in the weird, who are also secret gaming gunslingers and are cool with su...

Moving on from a relationship is hard, especially if you weren’t the one who broke it off. It’s a complex emotion and everyone deals with it in several ways. The main aspect is what you do about the loss of love in your life. Do you move on and live your life to the fullest? Or do you agonize about what could have been and yearn for them back? Before you figure out the answer, a demon decides to sink their claws into you. You must deal with them before your life moves on.

A nostalgic survival horror that's well written and often clever, just bear with its awkward shooting.
