Critic Reviews
- This newest update of The Mortuary Assistant is the best way to explore this narrative and we quite enjoyed it. The scares are top-notch, and the gameplay managed to keep us engaged enough without getting annoying due to the short runtime of a playthrough. Overall, a night well spent.
Jessica · Sep 27, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The Mortuary Assistant is far removed from the usual horror fare – and that should be applauded. The sim elements mixed with horror scares and a great story help, but you may find the controls and menus annoying; they certainly dampened my enthusiasm for the game a tad. But if you want to find out what all the streamers have been screaming about, then give The Mortuary Assistant a go.
Gareth Brierley · Aug 27, 2024 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - The Mortuary Assistant is a very well-crafted horror game. The gameplay is surprisingly addictive and its use of sound and randomized scares make it a nerve-wracking experience to play. A few confusing tutorials and clunky story moments aside, this is a horror game that does a lot of things right. It’s a tense time that will have you looking around every corner hoping and praying that the next thing you see won’t be the last.
Sam Flanagan · Aug 25, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Providing some high quality scares and morbidly curious gameplay, The Mortuary Assistant is a good horror game held back by an undercooked port to consoles that can create more frustration than fun.
Corvo Rohwer · Aug 16, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Not since P.T. has PlayStation seen such an effective single location horror experience. With its simple setup, looping story, and inventive scares, Mortuary Assistant is borderline essential for genre fans.
Ken Talbot · Aug 13, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - The Mortuary Assistant finally reaches home consoles, offering up a unique and tense work-horror scenario. Unfortunately, the controls implemented in this port hold back the console version a great deal. Inputs don't respond the way they should, and navigating menus proves cumbersome on practically all fronts. It's a game horror fans should check out, but maybe not on console.
Timothy Nunes · Aug 08, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - In the end, The Mortuary Assistant is a standout title in the horror genre. It excels at creating a genuinely frightening atmosphere and integrates its horror elements seamlessly into the gameplay. While the graphics aren’t revolutionary, the game’s strength lies in its sound design and its ability to deliver unpredictable scares.
Tom Henry · Aug 06, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Horror fans are likely to appreciate the brilliant premise of The Mortuary Assistant, and will enjoy the fact it's genuinely creepy and unpredictable. Preparing bodies is surprisingly engaging, and there are multiple endings to discover which will keep players returning for more, but unfortunately the PS5 version is very rough around the edges.
Richard Seagrave · Aug 05, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - The Mortuary Assistant's console re-release is the perfect excuse to dive into what's genuinely one of the scariest horror games in recent years.
Shubhankar Parijat · Aug 05, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Excelente jogo de terror, The Mortuary Assistant Definitive Edition é ótimo para quem espera partidas rápidas e sempre diferentes. Com uma impressionante quantidade de sustos, atualizações de lore e melhorias visuais, ele retorna em versão ainda melhor. Há alguns problemas visuais e o salto gráfico, no geral, não sofreu um grande salto em relação à versão original. Porém, ele certamente agradará bastante, em especial se você está esperando experiências criativas e totalmente adaptadas para consoles.
