TheSixthAxisSteve CAug 20268/10The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is a great addition to both the extraction genre and to Lovecraftian games in general. It isn't really a game for solo players, but there is an option to play it that way to practice in between multiplayer sessions. When teaming up with friends though there is a lot to love here, with even failed missions providing memorable moments. There are few multiplayer experiences that can live up to the thrills of running through a rainy forest whilst pursued by a host of unearthly creatures and suddenly seeing one of your companions turn into a pine tree.

PlayStation UniverseJohn-Paul JonesJul 20268/10suspect that despite its strides toward something a little more conventional, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu will still be something of an acquired taste for some, much like a great deal of ACE Team's back catalogue arguably has been. Sure enough it has a heap of jank and the combat isn't as satisfying as it should be, but The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu still represents the sort of resoundingly refreshing take on the extraction shooter that the genre continues to demand thanks to its brilliant use of madness mechanics that deftly elevate its online multiplayer experience.

Invision CommunityCraig EdwardsAug 20265/10The Mound Omen of Cthulhu has one genuinely excellent idea in its sanity system, delivering moments of paranoia and psychological horror that perfectly capture Lovecraft’s themes. Unfortunately, inconsistent performance on PS5, repetitive gameplay, clunky combat, and a general lack of polish prevent the rest of the experience from reaching the same standard.
