Critic Reviews for Anglerfish
Anglerfish feels like it caters to a very specific patron and ends up poisoning the rest. The strange environments and peculiar denizens within the Anglerfish bar are a high note, but one that becomes drowned out by the frustrating design of its gameplay elements. After each death the game beckoned for another round, but I ultimately left feeling hungover.
Anglerfish is full of surprises. While its quirky sense of humor, strong horror elements, and high death rate will keep you on your toes, it won't be for everyone. If you like scary titles with a wicked sense of humor, Anglerfish is worth checking out.
Anglerfish is a great mix of dark humour, unsettling atmosphere, and death-based gameplay. It's worth the two to three hours it takes to finish your first playthrough, but the predictable ending and questionable in-game marketing, make this title fall short of being a seamless experience.
Anglerfish offers a curious premise, enriched by metalanguage elements in its narrative. Although the interesting mechanic of changing the path caused by death can occasionally lead to some monotonous runs due to the lack of significant variations, it is a game that is worth checking out.
