Call of the Sea was a game that I loved when it first released over five years ago, and so I was hugely excited to see that a sequel was coming and have been looking forward to diving back in since. Serving as a direct continuation of the original’s story, Call of the Elder Gods definitely benefits from having played the first, but there is an effective summary available at the beginning of the game if you haven’t, and that game’s finale necessitated a new protagonist for this sequel anyway.

Call of the Elder Gods is smart, pretty, and, on occasion, satisfying, but it is also way too talky and too structurally obvious to become an absorbing experience. There are good puzzles here, and some will absolutely enjoy picking through its clues and strange story and lore. However, it lacks the confidence, elegance, and restraint needed to feel like an essential adventure-puzzle game.
