Critic Reviews
Hey Poor Player
By Christian AngelesLamentum’s story and puzzle-solving challenges do feel too much like a rehash of those very same games that inspired it. In some ways, being an almost 1-1 repetition. However, thanks to its spine-chilling atmosphere and old-school survivor horror mechanics, it does play like a survival horror game from the 1990s. So if you like those, this is definitely the game for you.
NaviGames
By NaviGamesLamentum is a magnificent homage to the classic survival horror of the 90s and a love letter to Lovecraftian gothic horror. Despite its somewhat clunky combat system, Obscure Tales' title will delight fans of the genre.
Nindie Spotlight
By Justin NationI’m sad to say that more often than not, on the Switch, games pushing “horror” in some way have struggled and failed in the department of delivering compelling play...
Screen Rant
By Leo FaiermanLamentum is a fine debut that happens to serve a very specific fanbase, the same players who will celebrate its lack of trusty modern gameplay conveniences.
Forever Classic Games
By Justin WoodLamentum is like a salad, it is a fantastic idea with delicious bits in it like the combat and general sense of exploration. While not without issues, the game is still fun.
