PC GamerJoshua WolensSep 202483/100One part detective sim and one part chaos generator, Shadows of Doubt lives up to its influences as an immersive sim that actually makes good on its ambitions.

God is a GeekChris WhiteSep 20248/10Shadows of Doubt may have a few problems that hold it back, but it's easily one of the most ambitious and exciting games of the year so far.

Pro Game GuidesConnell WatsonSep 20244.5/5 starsAn extremely addictive and satisfying core gameplay loop combined with exceptional gameplay, immersion mechanics, an outstanding setting, and a strong, fitting visual style make this an indie title for the history books. There is nothing like this out there, and I'd be shocked if there's anything like this again.

Thumb CultureOct 2024Close your eyes for me. Now imagine you’re walking down a dimly lit alley, the cold, damp air clinging to your skin like a bad memory. A flickering streetlamp buzzes overhead, casting jagged shadows that dance in the mist. Out of the corner of your eye, you catch the movement of a figure in a nearby window, fleeing like a ghost. Before you can react, they vanish, leaving the alley in a tense silence. You sprint toward the building, your gut twisting in suspicion. As you push open the door, the smell hits you. Inside, sprawled across the floor in a pool of blood, lies a body. Lifeless. Now open your eyes. You’re now back in the real world where you didn’t experience any of that. And that’s a bit like what playing Shadows Of Doubt on PlayStation 5 is like. It’s genuinely heart-breaking to say this, but in its current state, I cannot recommend Shadows of Doubt on console. There’s an amazing game here, but the technical problems are simply too big to ignore. It’s not just a matter of a few bugs. It feels like the game was released in an unfinished state on consoles. These issues constantly get in the way of enjoying what could otherwise be one of the most immersive and addictive games of the year. As it stands, I have no choice but to award Shadows of Doubt the Broken Thumb Culture Award.

CGMagazineJustin WoodSep 20244/10Shadows of Doubt as an idea is incredible; even the PC version of the game is fantastic; the console version, however, is riddled with issues that make it almost unplayable in its current state.
