WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "It’s not a perfect game. Loretta has an appropriate soundtrack, shot through with dissonance that yanks you out of the moment. The puzzles are obtuse to a fault at times. I hated being in the shoes of the hungover detective who was too hangdog about how worthless he was to do his job appropriately (though my discomfort in that means how well the scene was executed).

But it’s a captivating tale, and it’s told in such a remarkable way that it does credit to its inspirations and to those it may inspire. It’s a perverse take on empowerment and justice in a world devoid of either, and it won’t sit well regardless of how you swallow it down. I don’t know what I felt in the end, about Loretta herself, but I do know that Loretta is affirmed in what she did, even if it tears her apart on multiple levels.
