Thumb CultureAug 20245/5 starsThere are things I would have liked to have seen, but there is no doubt what the team at BearBoneStudio have produced is incredible. Minds Beneath Us should absolutely be the next game you buy. It provides a fresh and interesting story. One you will not be disappointed with. And that is why I am awarding Minds Beneath Us a Thumb Culture Platinum Award!

ImpulsegamerDylan McCarthyJul 20244.5/5Minds Beneath Us requires your attention and patience to really land itself, but if it holds your investment, you may find yourself on the same emotional rollercoaster as I. It's hard to look past its incredibly slow pacing, but its strong character writing, animation and music at least keep it enjoyable during its downtime.

NoobFeedJennifer RahmanAug 202495/100Minds Beneath Us offers decent value for the money as you may return to explore all the paths and options you have not explored before. In around twelve hours, you may complete the game—or longer if you are as picky as I am and prefer to explore every inch. I am definitely putting this as one of my favorite indie games of all time, and I will keep an open mind for other projects that are of genres I usually do not invest in.

Cubed3Sandy Kirchner-WilsonAug 20248/10Minds Beneath Us is a truly interesting and cerebral adventure told with heart and, at times, prosaic writing. It is full of intimate character moments that make the people feel alive and fully rounded. It can be a little slow at times and sometimes quick time events come from nowhere but it's so satisfying and the story has some very well executed moments that really let it shine. If narrative adventure sounds like a delightful time then this game is the one, in a word; Recommended.
