Games FreezerCasey RobertsJul 20255/10This feels like a game with lots of unrealised potential, weightless combat and an over-reliance on jump scares - it doesn't hit the mark, but being the first game by Salient games, I think they have potential and I am going to keep an eye out for what they do next. 5/10

MKAU GamingKevin LalMay 20255/10For horror fans, it has some new ideas but not too many and uses some old cliches with the story and jump scares. You will want to check it out as an experience, but unless updates are made it will put off the majority in the gaming space.

ImpulsegamerJun 20252/5Gore Doctor offers a compact horror experience with flashes of effective atmosphere and a premise that could have gone further. Its strongest feature is its environmental design, which succeeds in creating tension and curiosity as you explore the grim institute. However, weak combat, inconsistent writing, and a lack of polish prevent it from reaching its full potential. For players who enjoy short, gritty horror games with a hint of narrative intrigue and are willing to overlook technical roughness, Gore Doctor may be worth exploring, ideally at a discount.

GameGrinBennett PerryJul 20253/10Gore Doctor is an example of when a developer just makes a lazy, bad game. Be warned.
