This is a charming game with a novel theme and loads of character. However, it becomes clear early on that this is a game designed by artists without game design experience, and the experience ultimately suffers once the novelty of the artistic style fades. First off, one of the main gameplay loops is a bullet-hell type roguelite experience. The difficulty ramps up quickly and this portion of the game is …

This game is very fun. I like the base management, and managing your followers, etc etc, there are some clear "good" and "bad" weapons imo, and which weapon you get is random, but otherwise, the combat section of this game is fun too, but this game is also very frustrating. It is a bit buggy, descriptions of buildings / upgrades / mechanics are vague, or are just never explained, and then the game punishes you for …

I completed Cult of the Lamb 100%, including the DLC, and I enjoyed every second of it. I absolutely loved this game. I came for the cute art style and stayed for the cult management. The combat is fun, the progression feels rewarding, and the atmosphere is weirdly cozy for a game about running a literal cult, sometimes a very cruel one. I love how the game plays with dark and brutal themes through the cutest …

Cult of the Lamb is one of my favourite games because it has a little bit of everything - creature collecting, base building and decorating, fun and engaging combat and most importantly atmosphere. The music and visuals are incredibly well done, the balance of creepy and cute is chefs kiss and for me the normal difficulty is just right. I am a certified okayish gamer(tm) and I can get through the game feeling a bit …

93% of the 293 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Cult of the Lamb. The complaint that keeps coming up: vague or unexplained game mechanics. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Cult of the Lamb received "generally favourable" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. GameSpot praised the combat, calling it "fast-paced, fluid and fun" while also being surprised by the amount of customization and player choice which in turns makes the game "very replayable". Nintendo Life liked the variety present in the dungeon crawling, writing, "New layouts and equipment loadouts keep every run unique, while its intense and chaotic battles demand your full attention". Destructoid felt the game tutorialized its mechanics properly, "Again, for all of the elements that come into play, Cult of the Lamb presents everything in a digestible way". PC Gamer compared the…

I've played this game since it was first released and all the updated and dlcs have only enhanced the base game.

With the Woolhaven expansion, now I have a legit excuse to replay it without feeling the guilt of my backlog languishing just out of sight. The artwork is channeling Saturday-morning-cartoons, the music has lived rent-free in my head for years, the humor is a seamless weave of adorable meets disturbing, the cult//village management scratches the…

The story was so captivating, had me truly invested in each new path as the story continued and woolhaven took it even further.
