Critic Reviews
TheReviewGeek
By TheReviewGeekIf the developers had reigned in some of the more grotesque aspects of the story (and sped up the gameplay) this could have been far better. As it is, Martha is Dead is a game that is sometimes easy to admire but often hard to like.
SomosXbox
By Fran San NicolásMartha is Dead is a walking simulator with touches of psychological terror that manages to turn its most controversial section into an element capable of enhancing what it intends to show, although there are times when it is exceeded without need. Although it has a somewhat rough playable section and a poor technical section, Giulia's story is worth living.
INDIANTVCZ
By Ondřej SvobodaThe dark atmosphere of the Italian village during the Second World War supports great audio that will not allow you to break away from the screen. But a great story kills the technical problems of the game. Freezing, crashing, and a lot of problems will literally disgust you.
Impulsegamer
By Abdul SaadAll in all, Martha is Dead, despite struggling to hold my attention at times, is a well crafted game, with incredibly detailed visuals and models, an interesting cast of characters, and an unsettling but highly intriguing story to tell. If you're a fan of psychological thrillers and horrors, then Martha is Dead will undoubtedly be your cup of tea.
GameSpace
By Brau3erShocking content aside, Martha is Dead is a traditional walking simulator and it's no stretch to say that the movement is on prepared rails.
