Pros

  • That's true, I did enjoy the music a lot. The voices of the NPCs are also fantastic, my favorite being the bird siblings (the card guy, blacksmith guy and relic guy) and the fisherman.
  • Completely agree. While I was like 50% through I remember thinking “wow, I think I’m gonna play this one for a while”. ... But hey, it’s a solid 7.5. It’s worth playing imo.
  • Cult of the Lamb has a really fun dice minigame called Knucklebones
  • The only thing missing from your write-up is the game's spectacular sound design and music. The music is dynamic and adjusts depending on the situation. It does a wonderful job framing the experience as a mysterious dark (but not *too* d...
  • Loved playing that in Cult of the Lamb.

Cons

  • I am truly astonished at how well Cult of the Lamb’s art style manages to do both, and fit them together so naturally. ... The Roguelike side of things is a bit disappointing. ... On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate Cult of the Lamb a 6.
  • Yesterday I uninstalled Cult of the Lamb because I realized I wasn't having fun and wasn't going to.
  • I played it back when it released and yeah, it was just ok. I loved it for about four hours and then the novelty wore off. The cult management turned tedious, none of the upgrades were really worth it. The runs were just the same six roo...
  • The management part is quite fun to engage with and see all the different things you can do (and there are a few), however, the management is very poorly balanced and you quickly realise that there's no reason to do like 90% of the thing...

Ultimately, I enjoy playing this game despite my gripes with the Roguelike mode. The Cult management aspect of it is a lot of fun and the amazing art direction makes me want to finish the story

The only thing missing from your write-up is the game's spectacular sound design and music. The music is dynamic and adjusts depending on the situation. It does a wonderful job framing the experience as a mysterious dark (but not *too* dark) journey.

I played it back when it released and yeah, it was just ok. I loved it for about four hours and then the novelty wore off. The cult management turned tedious, none of the upgrades were really worth it. The runs were just the same six rooms rearranged and when I started the second biome it was exactly like the first biome except this time it's green! The art style and humour were brilliant, but not enough to make up for the lacklustre gameplay.

The management part is quite fun to engage with and see all the different things you can do (and there are a few), however, the management is very poorly balanced and you quickly realise that there's no reason to do like 90% of the things the game gives you, so you end up just doing the more viable 10% over and over and the game gets repetitive.
