WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones is a messy, buggy game that shows a lot of promise. The story and characters are all fantastic, but the gameplay falls flat with tedious backtracking and a poor combat system."
COGconnected: Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones is the best adaptation of Lovecraft so far with its strong gameplay, compelling investigations, and interesting mental illness system.
Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones is a supernatural horror roleplaying video game which takes place in the strange worlds of HP Lovecraft.
The experience of playing Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones is frustrating in the best way, just like any exploration of a Lovecraftian world should be. The turn-based RPG from Cultic Games is set the fallen city of Arkham and is heavily inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s short stories about fish people and tentacled atrocities.
