"Moons of Madness combines two of the best settings for any horror title, Mars and Lovecraftian Horror. During the calm, Moons of Madness plays like an excellent exploration game while during the horror bits, nothing will stop the madness from tearing you from limb to limb."
"[...]Moons of Madness‘ story is very strong. The writing and dialogue are both excellent, and the plot kept me invested for its entire runtime."
8/10
