TrueAchievementsMark DelaneyMar 20184.5/5 starsFor most players, Mulaka will be a familiar gameplay experience structured around something wholly new and enriching in every other way.

Cubed3Feb 20189/10From thrilling boss fights to elegant environments, coupled with a comprehensive control scheme and a well laid out progression system, Mulaka is a joy to play from start to finish.

PS4Blog.netFeb 20189/10The developers have clearly put a lot of love, time and research into the game and that shows very clearly as you play. A few minor issues, aside, this is a PS4 gem that is a must-have and which you should check out right now.

PlayStation LifeStyleTyler TreeseFeb 20184.5/10Mulaka has some neat ideas and a sometimes gorgeous look to it, but little else to offer. The individual locations fail to stand out, and the game quickly becomes overly formulaic. The combat is too sloppy to impress, the platforming is plagued by a stiff moving character, and the puzzles are never captivating. It's a completely forgettable experience with a few really nice sights that are better experienced as screenshots.

Push SquareJacob HullMar 20185/10Ultimately, Mulaka succeeds in the story it wishes to tell, but it falls short in two of its primary gameplay tenets: action and adventure. Controls are fiddly, environments a little sparse, and combat inadequate. It excels in using the video game format to widen knowledge of a culture that admittedly many around the world will know very little about, but as a game to interact with, its deficiencies outshine its ideas and make it somewhat forgettable.
