Call of the Elder Gods is a beautiful, haunting and sometimes funny first-person puzzle game. It has a strong focus on its world and characters, with fabulous writing and lovely voice acting. The puzzles are clever, offering a mix of subtle and more grandiose brain scramblers. If you're a fan of cosmic horror or the Lovecraft mythos, Call of the Elder Gods is going to be a game you'll want to dive into immediately. This is one of the most outstanding games of the year so far, and it's not one you're going to want to miss.

Call of the Elder Gods no busca impresionarte a base de tentáculos y horror cósmico. Lo que propone es algo mucho más acotado: una aventura construida alrededor de la curiosidad, la incomodidad y la sensación constante de que existe algo enorme escondido justo fuera de tu alcance. 

Visualmente es precioso. Sonoramente sabe envolver cada escena. Y sus puzles consiguen algo difícil: hacer que pensar y observar formen parte natural del misterio.

Puede perder algo de ritmo en ciertos momentos y algunos acertijos pueden ser muy enrevesados para aquellos no tan duchos en este tipo de juegos, pero incluso ahí mantiene un nivel casi impecable.

Y cuando termina, note quedas pensando en monstruos ni sobresaltos.

Te quedas pensando en preguntas suspendidas.

En símbolos.

En puertas semiabiertas.

Y en esa incómoda sensación de que quizá las cosas habrían podido ser diferentes con las elecciones adecuadas..

Call of the Elder Gods is a worthy successor to Call of the Sea in almost every way. Combining exploration with some stellar puzzles and gameplay the game manages to tell a wonderful story with a Lovecraftian twist.

Out of the Blue has delivered another feast for the eyes and ears in a fun, chill puzzle game that still finds ways to balance the horrors of the beyond with the horrors of our own existence.

Call of the Elder Gods viene a ser todo lo que se le exige a una secuela, que sea más y mejor. Y esto lo consigue sin mayores problemas.

Call of the Elder Gods es una aventura lovecraftiana brillante en lo atmosférico y muy sólida en el diseño de puzles, con una narrativa emocionalmente potente que solo se ve perjudicada por ciertos problemas de ritmo y una trama que a veces intenta abarcar demasiado.

Call of the Elder Gods manages to deliver a consistent experience within its premise: a narrative adventure focused on mystery, atmosphere, and clever puzzles. The character writing, the Lovecraftian setting, and the gradual evolution of the puzzles make the campaign constantly engaging, while the art direction and soundtrack contribute to its identity. There are certain visual technical limitations and some frustrating moments caused by demanding puzzles, but the final result is a confident, mature, and very well-constructed sequel, especially for those who enjoy more contemplative and investigative games.

Y, en definitiva, este estudio indie nos ha regalado dos títulos tremendos que no dejarán indiferente a los amantes de los puzzles ni a quienes disfrutan de una buena aventura. Nosotros estamos más que convencidos de que no os decepcionará

Out of the Blue repeats its formula and delivers a great puzzle adventure that knows exactly what it's doing and is aimed at a very specific audience.

Call of the Elder Gods is a first-person adventure that wonderfully captures an otherworldly tone and the sense of mystery of its predecessor, and it nails the emotional core while giving its characters and puzzle design time to shine.

Call of the Elder Gods delivers a worldwide adventure with a tinge of mystery, crafting an experience which exceeds its predecessor. Aside from some pacing issues, the puzzles, the characters, and the story are elegantly pieced together. I came away satisfied by all accounts. The attention to detail, the excellent puzzles, and strong performances elevate this Lovecraftian adventure.

With equal emphasis on narrative and sequences of puzzles, Call of the Elder Gods makes good use of the Lovecraftian legacy, reinterpreting it with a presentation that dispenses with horror and prefers the mystery of adventure. It's a game that seeks to be enjoyable, without the pressure of fear, time constraints, or overly complex puzzles, being challenging only to the extent that it makes us think a little, even if its tools and talkative characters can be overly didactic.

Call of the Elder Gods is a mature and highly rewarding evolution of the foundation laid by Call of the Sea. Out of the Blue Games delivers a vibrant, puzzle-driven adventure that explores Lovecraftian lore through a surprisingly intimate and poetic lens. While the dual-protagonist mechanics feel somewhat underutilized and a few puzzles stumble in execution, the excellent narrative, the satisfying lateral-thinking challenges, and a beautiful handling of themes like grief and the afterlife make it a must-play. A thoroughly captivating journey that smartly closes old chapters while hinting at a promising future.

Elder Gods is crammed with gorgeous set pieces, clever puzzles, and engrossing writing.

Call of the Elder Gods pulls from Lovecraftian mythos to create a pulpy puzzler that works to build off of 2020's Call of the Sea. However, its intense head-scratchers with complex solutions can often clash with the pace of a relatively short adventure.

The Cthulhu mythos resonates in Call of the Elder Gods, which closely follows the gameplay of its predecessor, Call of the Sea, but offers a more solid structure and an equally intriguing storyline. Some gameplay elements could have been better utilized to give this sequel more personality; nevertheless, fans of the genre and those who enjoyed the controversial first installment of the series are sure to appreciate it.

From the developer of the out-of-nowhere indie hit Call of the Sea.

Call of the Elder Gods is a successful sequel, particularly when judged on the strength of its world-building, the quality of its puzzles and the solidity of its authorial identity. It isn’t perfect: the attempt to expand on the formula established in Call of the Sea results in a slight loss of cohesion, the overall impact may feel a little less immediate than its predecessor, and the narrative – though equally compelling – ultimately culminates in a disappointing and forgettable twist. Nevertheless, the game excels in other areas, thanks to the richness of its environments (which help recreate that Indiana Jones atmosphere), a gradual and well-balanced difficulty curve that sees the puzzles become progressively more complex, and a pair of likeable protagonists. The overall impression is, ultimately, that of a first-class adventure that is absolutely worth experiencing, and thanks to a generous hint system, Call of the Elder Gods is a game that everyone will be able to enjoy.

Call of the Elder Gods is one of the best thought-out puzzle games of the last several years. It personalizes terrifying space stories and makes them sad and weirdly beautiful. This trip through lost cities and fractured memories is particularly gratifying for those who prefer mystery to action and atmosphere to spectacle.

Call of the Elder Gods is a game with interesting ideas and a Lovecraftian atmosphere that works quite well once the narrative finally gains momentum. The setting and sense of discovery are engaging, especially for those who enjoy cosmic horror and stories involving insanity and supernatural mysteries. At the same time, the game struggles with extremely limited exploration and puzzles that often stop being challenging and instead become tedious. Some puzzles are genuinely clever, but others feel complicated only because they exaggerate the difficulty. Even with these issues, I managed to get involved with the campaign and remained curious to uncover the mysteries of that universe until the very end. I just believe the experience would have worked much better with more consistent puzzles and a narrative that revealed its true potential earlier.

Thanks to a generous hint system and another excellent story, Call of the Elder Gods, is a puzzle game that everyone can enjoy.

I enjoyed my 5 hour playthrough of Call of the Elder Gods. The puzzles, environments, and voice acting were all fantastic and that’s all you really need for a fun weekend chomp of a title. However, the move from one island to jet setting across the globe in those five hours didn’t do the pacing of the story any favours. There’s a lot going on, and the game rattles through some of it’s reveals at a fair clip, losing a lot of the intrigue that made the first game so compelling. When it comes to facing the Cosmic Entities at the end of the world; I think I’d have preferred a little less movie conspiracy, and a little more actual mystery.

Call of the Elder Gods is a tough adventure puzzler that follows in the footsteps of the first game while expanding the memorable cast, story, and locations to create another enjoyable mystery that unfolds in unexpected ways. 📓

Call of the Elder Gods builds upon the foundations of Call of the Sea with clever puzzles, atmospheric storytelling and a striking cartoon-inspired art style. Its Lovecraftian mystery and satisfying puzzle design make it a compelling adventure from start to finish.

I went into Call of the Elder Gods with a little trepidation, because I’ve played quite a few narratively focused puzzle games of late, and I feared I was a little burnt out. Thankfully, it’s a worthy sequel. Call of the Elder Gods is filled with some genuinely well-designed brain teasers, and a plot that eventually had me hooked, further fuelling my desire to solve the central mystery. If you’re looking for a new puzzle game to challenge you mind, this is a call you’ll want to take.

Call of the Elder Gods is a sequel to 2020's Call of the Sea, and where in that game you played as Norah Everhart, on a search for her missing husb...

Call of the Elder Gods es un juego que merece ser jugado si disfrutaste de Call of the Sea, aunque no llegue a su altura. Sus puzles son en su mayoría inteligentes y satisfactorios, su universo lovecraftiano tiene personalidad propia, y la narración de Norah aporta una calidez que ancla emocionalmente una historia que a veces amenaza con perderse en su propia complejidad. Out of the Blue demuestra que se preocupa por sus personajes y su mundo, y eso se nota.

Call of the Elder Gods is a very good puzzle adventure game that continues the narrative of the first game and adds some interesting new characters to the mix. At its best it contains some of the most engaging and enjoyable puzzles you'll find, though there are some dips in quality that drag things down a bit. I would recommend the first game over this for newcomers, but if you've already enjoyed that title then you'll get a lot out of this too, just don't expect it to be quite as polished.

Call of the Elder Gods is a decent enough game, but its storytelling and puzzle design leaves a little to be desired

Call of the Elder Gods is a perfectly worthy sequel to Call of the Sea, in which the authors shifted the focus toward varied and moderately challenging puzzles. The story also turned out to be quite engaging, though for some reason the authors didn't quite polish a number of their ideas, which somewhat mars the overall impression.

Call of the Elder Gods is not a horror game focused on combat or survival mechanics. It is a cerebral, atmospheric adventure that thrives on mystery, tension, and carefully constructed puzzles. At times its pacing and puzzle design can become overly demanding, but when everything clicks together, it delivers some genuinely unforgettable moments. For players willing to embrace its slower pace and unravel its layered mysteries, Call of the Elder Gods offers a haunting and intelligent journey through grief, obsession, and cosmic terror that lingers long after the credits roll.

A veces da la sensación que todos los juegos basados en las obras de H.P. Lovecraft están cortados por la misma tijera, pero… cada tanto tenemos un golpe de suerte. Cada tanto llega uno que rompe el molde y sigue su propio camino. Los chicos de Out of the Blue Games dieron con la formula perdida cuando nos llevaron de paseo por una isla tropical llena de secretos en su precioso Call of the Sea. Ahora, seis años más tarde, regresan con una secuela de manual que adapta su formula a la escandalosa escala de sus entornos para dibujar paisajes tan vibrantes como coloridos, y unos rompecabezas tan duros como el lenguaje de los antiguos. Todo esto mientras desenmarañamos los secretos de una historia emocionante cargada de suspenso. Call of the Elder Gods es una mejora sustancial con respecto a su primera entrega, un paso hacia la dirección correcta, que engancha desde el primer minuto.

Call of the Elder Gods presents good ideas and interesting puzzles, but the game falls a bit short and is heavily hindered by tiring gameplay and an art direction that feels uninspired at times, taking away much of the title’s shine and potential.
