PC InvasionAndrew FarrellOct 20208/10The Signifier is an intriguing adventure game/ walking simulator with a compelling story and unique design aspects. The presentation can be a bit janky, but the game has definitely stuck in my mind since finishing it.

The Digital FixDavid CarcasoleOct 20208/10The Signifier is an intriguing and enjoyable narrative-driven game that benefits from proper pacing and discovery mixed with a very interesting setting and environments.

Critical HitNoelle AdamsOct 20207.5/10It's clearly well thought out, but in execution The Signifer doesn't quite match up to its intriguing concept and utterly convincing setting. The latter are so strong, though, that they keep you engaged even as you grapple with clunkier gameplay aspects and an abrupt ending. Ambitious, cerebral, worth investigating.

Jump Dash RollShaun McHughOct 20205/10The Signifier promises a lot, but doesn't deliver. However, you can't deny Playmestudio have made something unique and I look forward to seeing future titles from the studio.

Checkpoint GamingEdie W-KOct 20205/10The great ideas within The Signifier make it all the more frustrating when the overall experience doesn’t leave you with anything memorable. If it were expanded upon, the sum of its parts could make an amazing experience. The game has some shining moments in the memory sequences, but its ending does nothing with the fascinating threads offered up by its middle.
