- We hope that our In Sound Mind review has sparked your interest, at least. Rarely can you sit down with a horror game and watch it start out in one genre, jump to another, lounge in a third and then land with an amazing flourish. Even if you’re not a fan of “scary” games, give this one a chance. Step through the door and brave the mystery of Milton Haven.
Nick Nikolov · Jan 31, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - In a way, it’s a shame that In Sound Mind has the fundamentals of survival horror down so well I can’t help but imagine how much more compelling it would be if it weren’t let down by its heavy-handed writing and dull enemies.
Samuel Corey · Nov 03, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - This is one game that I recommend whole-heartedly for anyone looking for a good psychological horror game that focuses more on exploration and puzzles than full-on combat. Don’t sleep on this one. It’s pretty great.
Drew Leachman · Oct 29, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - It doesn’t provide an experience that’s free of frustration or hiccups, but that doesn’t stop In Sound Mind from being one of this year’s biggest surprises – an action-horror game that delivers not only scares, but also head-scratching puzzles and plenty of engaging combat encounters, all wrapped up in a story that makes you think.
Richard Seagrave · Oct 15, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - In Sound Mind is frustrating at first but will draw you in with dark themes, bright colors, engaging environments and some pretty awesome gameplay mechanics. It’s not the scariest game that will release this Halloween season, but it’s certainly a competitor.
Dev Crowley · Oct 07, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - In Sound Mind has every element that makes this game a great horror title. Once you get over the more cliché story choices and cringe-worthy voice acting, what you find is a unique experience with astounding detail to both the sound and visual design. These two aspects already make it worth your while, but In Sound Mind is also just a genuinely fun game in how it keeps changing things up for you.
Jessica · Oct 07, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The overall story is fine but lacks that punch to push it over the top. If it were a movie it would sit comfortably with in the B movie section next to Pooka! and The Babadook—which is damn good company, if you ask me. Depending on just how long it takes you to solve the various puzzles, In Sound Mind takes an average of 12-ish hours from start to finish.
Annette Polis · Oct 04, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - In Sound Mind does a good job in juggling both horror and mystery, even if it leans more towards the latter at the end. Although the story conclusion was a little lackluster, the phenomenal voice acting, the great level design and the creepy atmosphere make In Sound Mind a game worth playing.
Aarsal Masoodi · Sep 30, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - The juxtaposition between the monster trying to hurt you, but also expressed its doubt and fears, all while Desmond attempts to calm it and show that he wants to help, felt surprisingly fresh – and gave me much more reason to continue than a simple good versus evil fight would have. A sense of humor, large levels, and a variety of puzzles make In Sound Mind a game worth picking up for those looking for a new twist in an overdone genre.
Richard Allen · Sep 30, 2021 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Now, as I mentioned briefly at the start, the trailer didn’t quite sell to me the whole psychological horror tag that has been applied to In Sound Mind, and even now after having spent some enjoyable hours running through it, I wouldn’t quite point fully towards the horror genre for placement with In Sound Mind. Sure it has a few horror elements, however, should you be willing to accept it as a psychological thriller, then I for one would certainly assign that as amended tag, whilst also raising the expectation that In Sound Mind is a game we’ll likely see mentioned in the same breath as previously mentioned classic Condemned, in years to come.
