Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend it for its atmosphere, visuals and voice acting, but many find the stealth gameplay linear and puzzle-like rather than tactical.

Most reviewers recommend Eriksholm, and many praise its look, world building and voice acting, with the atmosphere of the industrial city and its rich-versus-poor divide drawing the most comment. The cutscenes and motion capture are often singled out, and the story is seen as compelling, especially the personal search for a missing brother. The main complaint is gameplay: many players expected a tactical stealth game in the style of Commandos or Desperados, and found that most levels have one intended solution, with little room for improvisation. Some also call the game short for its price and note limited replay value, so several advise buying it on sale. A few report crashes and control quirks, and some find the story weak or the characters forgettable. Recent reviews are more mixed on the story and length, though they still praise the presentation.

Praised

  • Atmosphere and world building

    Players describe the detailed, lived-in city and its grim industrial mood as the game's strongest element.

    Many players
  • Visuals and cutscenes

    Reviewers praise the graphics, art direction and motion-captured cutscenes, which run smoothly on most systems.

    Many players
  • Voice acting and story

    Players find the voice acting excellent and the personal story of a missing brother engaging, with characters they come to care about.

    Many players
  • Stealth with clear puzzles

    Players like the stealth mechanics that rely on hiding, noise and sleep darts, and find the puzzles engaging without being too hard.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Linear, one-solution levels

    Players say most levels have a single intended route, so there is little room for creative or tactical choices.

    Many players
  • Not a tactical stealth game

    Players who expected a Commandos or Desperados style game often feel let down by the puzzle focus and limited tools.

    Many players
  • Short for the price

    Reviewers say the game takes about 8 to 14 hours and has little replay value, so they advise waiting for a sale.

    Many players
  • Repetitive gameplay and weak story

    Players find the mechanics repetitive and the later story or characters predictable, with the plot losing momentum.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy atmospheric, story-driven games with light stealth and puzzles, and who want a short, polished experience best bought on sale.
Who should skip it
Players looking for a deep tactical stealth game with varied approaches, or anyone who wants a long game with replay value.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with longer playtimes more often find the mechanics repetitive and the linear design limiting, while shorter-session players tend to praise the checkpoints and compact chapters.
