One of the key differences between the two games is how they handle their investigators. The voice acting is great and at times funny, especially the ghostly Professor Tillinghast, talking from beyond the grave.Just like it’s bigger board game brother, Arkham Horror: The Card Game (AH:TCG) has players taking on the role of investigators, digging into mysterious cases with supernatural twists. Aside from some basic walking mechanics issues, Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace feels smooth. Even the run is a bit slow but you also feel wild and wonky while turning. The controls to walk just feel off and you feel like you’re walking through syrup. I’d say the only downside would be the movement controls. The graphics are dark yet colorful and have a distinctly indie feel. It does the Lovecraftian world justice by including all of the delicious things that a Lovecraft story would have like otherworldly creatures, magic, madness and cults. Serial Cleaners review: We’re gonna need more bleachĪrkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace is based on the Arkham Horror board games and I think they did a great job at making a story-heavy board game and turning it into a story-heavy video game.S.W.A.N.: Chernobyl Unexplored review: Am I the Drama?.The Wardrobe – Even Better Edition review: Fun, old-school puzzler.Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleased review: Bustin’ doesn’t feel good.PGA TOUR 2K23 review: Bringing a new swagger to the course.You will visit places like an old mansion, the Miskatonic University, a mental institution, city streets, and a jungle all in the pursuit of Professor Wilhelmina Tillinghast’s killer and her connection to strange occurrences that keep happening. There is also turn-based combat similar to a JRPG format where you can move, attack or use items or magic. You move your chosen investigator around examining different items and unraveling the story. Each investigator has their own story, their own strengths and their own traumas. When you begin the game, you have the choice to play as one of seven possible investigators. This turn-based adventure RPG will take deep into the Lovecraft mythos and once you take the dive…there’s no turning back. On the flip side, COVID has really put a wrench into game night, but Asmodee has you covered with Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace. Because all of the action happens in your mind, there is much more story and atmosphere that is laid upon players…think excessive adjectives. There is something special about board games. In addition, I l/ove how many board games are turning into video games. I love how many Lovecraftian games are coming out lately. Platforms: Xbox One, PlayStation 4 (reviewed), PC
