GamestyleBradley MarshJun 20159/10An amazing story based on actual events. KHOLAT is a standout game in a genre that often fails to deliver.

FextralifeApr 20168/10Enormously atmospheric, highly intriguing, but falls just a little short of its narrative ambition. A compelling real life historical mystery. Well told, though the pay-off may frustrate some. A great control innovation effectively supports the overall atmosphere of isolation and exposure.

TwinfiniteChaz MillerJul 20154/5While much of Kholat can feel repetitive as players roam aimlessly through the barren landscape, the spine-creeping sense of dread that accompanies the rest of the game more than makes up for it. There were a few times that I began to feel a bit bored with winding through the same rocky paths, but they were offset by the time spent struggling to survive against encroaching threats and the strangely threatening narration of Game of Thrones' Sean Bean.

GameSpotKevin VanOrdJun 20154/10Kholat's poor attempts to creep and confound you fail to capitalize on its terrific premise.

God is a GeekGreg HillMar 20164/10Grievously weighed down by its unforgiving orienteering mechanic, tedious gameplay and frame-rate issues, Kholat is more likely to leave you with your head aching rather than your head spinning.
