IGN Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss Still Needs More Danger in its Undersea Horror | IGN P
My biggest fear for Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss was assuaged pretty early - this game does a great job setting Lovecraft’s well-worn mythos in a time and place that feels unique among its many, many contemporaries. It also leans into problem solving in a way maybe other games like it don’t, focusing more on the finding out parts of diligent detective work than the effing around parts of attempting to gun fight a bog monster. And though the puzzles you’ll encounter throughout tend to balance feeling rewarding to solve while being approachable, the tense and slow-burning pace is great for the process of discovery but doesn't pay off the patience with many scares or really any pushback at all from anything that isn’t a puzzle.
