Pure NintendoJennifer SheffieldSep 20199.5/10Sagebrush pulls you into the life of a cult by forcing you to follow the story of someone who survived one. Perfect Heaven – and its impact on its members – feels organic and like cults that have lived in times before it. Its pixelated animation style gives you the feeling that you're exploring the ruins of someone's memory and the tragedy that followed.

FingerGunsRossko KenistonAug 20199/10The human experience of being drawn into a cult full of deep, dark secrets and the emotional toll it weighs upon you is front and centre in Sagebrush and that’s what made this two-hour experience stand out to me. The slow pace is entirely purposeful, allowing you to soak up each moment and learn more about those who believed in Father James room to be understood, to be heard and ultimately, to be mourned.

VGChartzLee MehrAug 20192/10Sagebrush seems spiritually fulfilled to use a fascinating premise for generic byways that do little in demonstrating the dynamics of faith and communal attachment.

AbsoluteXboxMike JenkinsAug 20191.4/5I really wanted to come away from Sagebrush having found a new little gem in the indie game scene. Instead I found a very short, predictable story, that I barely engaged with.
