Overall, this game left me in shambles as I would feel a sense of extreme dread as I made progress throughout each world as I never fully knew what reaction any of my decisions could cause. However, it gave me a sense of relief and wonder when I would solve the puzzle given to me and continue forward to see what challenges awaited me next.

Infernium es un Survival Horror donde prima la exploración y algún que otro puzle, cuyo resultado es una experiencia compleja pero hermosa y altamente adictiva. Si os gusta romper con lo establecido este es vuestro juego.

Es un survival horror pero no da miedo. Es un juego de puzles pero tampoco son demasiado elaborados. Y aún así, todo encaja a la perfección. Infernium crea adicción con su dificultad, frustra con su calidad técnica, angustia con su calidad sonora y maravilla con su diseño. Ocho círculos que se completan con un noveno: nosotros. Dante nunca pensó que un viaje al infierno iba a ser tan placentero. 

Overall, Infernium is an enjoyable game that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Infernium’s depiction of Hell is hauntingly beautiful as you are doomed to wander in purgatory afraid to turn any corner. 

While Infernium presents itself very well, has a certain unique sense of ambiance, and can certainly be conquered given careful observation, its trial-and-error nature and pacing will likely lead to polar opposite reactions in people. For people who enjoy the puzzle adventure aspect, exploring the spaces and working out an optimal path to success while staying a few steps ahead of doom it may scratch an itch. Unfortunately I would imagine for just about anyone else it will likely be an exercise in frustration and burn through the patience of people hoping for more immediate gratification. Just be sure to go into the experience with the proper expectations and you’ll improve your chances of enjoying it.

Tutta la bellezza visiva mostrata nel trailer non è certo quella vista su Nintendo Switch, versione di gioco graficamente vecchia e macchinosa. Infernium resta comunque una buona avventura mistica in prima persona, con un level design e un sonoro di prim’ordine ma con una grafica, come abbiamo già detto, spenta e scialba. Vi ricordiamo che l'intero gioco è stato sviluppato da una sola persona. Lo stesso Carlos Coronado ci ha rivelato che è in arrivo una patch per il gioco che porterà qualche piccolo miglioramento.

“Infernium” es un juego con mucho potencial que, desgraciadamente, no cumple con lo prometido. Sí, las gráficas son muy buenas, pero fuera de eso, realmente no aporta con nada nuevo o particularmente atractivo. El gameplay es pobre, solo cuenta con tres tipos de enemigos —Cloaks, Walkers, y el enemigo invisible—, el diseño de sonido carece de personalidad, y en general, aunque el concepto de la exploración no-lineal podría haber sido explotado, el juego simplemente nunca llega a entretener tanto como debería. “Infernium” comete el peor pecado que cualquier título de terror podría hacer: no da nada de miedo, y eso es, simplemente, imperdonable.

Infernium is certainly something else. It's not quite the Souls-like, Survival Horror Pac-man game the developer thinks it is, and it's certainly not something that's all that well put together. If you like running away from the same 2 enemy models with slightly different colors, don't mind the absolute lack of story beyond bad fan-fiction on random walls, and like dying to enemies around the corner, you'll love Infernium. Otherwise, it's best to stay away.
