Only Episode One is out as of writing this, might update in the future.

The only way I can think to describe this game is simple yet satisfying. I can't think of anything that Cultic tries to do that it doesn't succeed at. Exploration is fun, combat is engaging and satisfying, the horror is incredibly effective. I think if I had to say anything negative about it, I'd say the soundtrack can get repetitive and the final boss is too chaotic for my tastes and makes it hard to really know what's going on without some trial and error. But this game is an excellent blend of action and horror, with some crunchy and visceral sound design, punchy weapons, satisfying enemy variety and more. I've never been a fan of fire-based weapons in shooters before, but Cultic makes them some of the most fun.

If an action-horror FPS game sounds like something you're interested in, pick this up. You won't be disappointed.
