PC GamerRobert JonesFeb 202479/100The Inquisitor is a grim yet strangely gripping dark fantasy story, memorable if a little rough around the edges.

IGNPhil HornshawFeb 20246/10Playing a medieval church cop hunting a vampire is a great concept, but blurry choices, weak combat, and a ton of handholding keep The Inquisitor from leading a compelling inquisition.

Movies Games and TechDaniel WaiteFeb 20247/10Unlike its peers, The Inquisitor isn’t an instant classic. Instead, this game does enough to make you smile. The blend of mechanics is enjoyable, and the setting is uncomfortable and interesting to explore. Moreover, I liked the seamless transition between realms and the challenging boss encounters. If you then consider the pleasant cinematic and interesting characters, this was a fun game to play. Accordingly, I enjoyed it and I recommend buying it here! Can you solve the Vampire problem? Question the locals, take down the bosses, and survive The Murk.

GamingTrendJackson LustbergFeb 202440/100The Inquisitor fumbles what could have been the premiere mystery game of 2024. Despite the strong setting and cast, the mystery rapidly unravels into nothing but noise, and the gameplay is bereft of difficulty. The never-ending stream of bugs means that whatever joy you can find in the game will most certainly be derailed.
