God is a GeekGary BaileyApr 20208/10The Shattering is a tough story to follow and has some uncomfortable moments, but it's an impressive spectacle at times and has a few tricks up its sleeve.

Hardcore GamerJordan HelmApr 20202/5That a game of such brief investment can't muster the strength or effort to get even the basics right is perhaps the most damaging thing you can say for a game like this.

Gamer EscapeTimothy HyldahlApr 20204/10It’s clear [Super Sexy Software] tried. I love the art direction, they tried to pull off something more original towards the end, and the little optional things you can interact with are fun and whimsical. I’d love to see where they go in the future, but I cannot deny that this is a fairly flawed title.
