Critic Reviews
- Devotion’s tale of fractured memories and buried secrets provides a dark, compelling look into the depths of human frailty and desperation. It doesn’t quite reach the heights its developer achieved with Detention, but it’s a well-crafted first-person journey to a strange and unexpected place.
Will Aickman · Apr 09, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Devotion wraps up before it loses steam, making it a tightly packed house of horrors worth braving. It’s a shame that the game was inaccessible to players for as long as it was, but now you can enjoy one of creepiest titles in recent memory. If you can muster up the courage, you’ll be rewarded with a delightfully disturbing experience that deserves a chance to terrify a broader audience.
Marcus Stewart · Mar 24, 2021 Reviewed on PC - Everything Devotion does is in service of this story and its character development; you learn about these people's lives, empathize with their plight, and come to understand their actions, even if you don't agree with them. Home is where the heart is, and Devotion is a shining example of what the horror genre is capable of.
Richard Wakeling · Mar 23, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The gameplay is basic and the threat of death is nonexistent but learning about what happened to Feng Yu's family did offer enough interest that I played through the game twice to completely understand what transpired. Devotion will not appeal to horror fans looking for the thrill of being hunted or chased but those looking for a sinister story.
Grayshadow · Mar 16, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - It’s just a shame that, thanks to the inclusion of a particular meme, the game has currently been removed from Steam. I hope that Red Candle Games weathers this storm because I’d love to see what else the company is capable of. Controversy or not, Devotion is lovely, haunting stuff.
Chris Mc · Feb 27, 2019 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Devotion is a fantastic psychological horror game that’s short, concise, and well-paced from start to finish. It's a tightly woven story about a Taiwanese family succumbing to mental anguish and slowly breaking down over the course of its three-hour runtime. It’s not always the most exciting game to play – specifically, when it becomes more of a scavenger hunt adventure – but the highs are extremely high and far more frequent than the occasional lows.
David Jagneaux · Feb 26, 2019 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Perhaps that will ultimately raise the profile of the game though, as it certainly deserves to be played by as many people as possible. Being scary is one thing but being scary and smart moves the game into rarefied company when it comes to any medium. Whether survival horror does stage a comeback or not almost doesn’t matter now, as we’ve had two great games from both ends of the horror spectrum and to aficionados of the genre this is just as essential as Resident Evil 2.
GameCentral · Feb 25, 2019 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Devotion nos ha gustado mucho. Es un juego muy divertido, que sabe manejar muy bien la tensión y el miedo, asustarte cuando menos te lo esperas, y sorprenderte constantemente. Creemos que la parte principal es excelente, y sabe impregnar la experiencia de ese sabor a survival horror clásico, aun sin enemigos. Cuando deja todo esto atrás y se convierte en un walking simulator puro y duro… digamos que lo hace bien, pero no nos ha terminado de convencer este cambio tan radical.
Juan Rubio · Feb 22, 2019 Reviewed on PCRead full review - À la croisée des chemins entre Silent Hill 2, P.T. et What Remains of Edith Finch, Devotion prend le joueur par surprise en se présentant comme une expérience complète dans son domaine - le Walking Simulator horrifique. Vous aimez vous faire peur ? Vous sentir seul, perdu et observé ? Découvrir petit à petit les volets d'une histoire folle et dérangeante écrite et mise en scène avec adresse pour vous laisser juste ce qu'il faut dans le flou ?
Gianni Molinaro · Feb 23, 2019 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Ovviamente se siete alla ricerca di un investimento di tempo o di un horror più tradizionale lasciatelo perdere, perché Devotion si finisce in circa tre ore e l'horror è soltanto un pretesto per mettere in scena la sua storia che, pur essendo perfettamente calata nella realtà taiwanese, ha dei risvolti che non esitiamo a definire universali.
