So hard that it was easy to overlook some of the lighter features of the game. Enemies are mindless cult fanatics, sometimes with a gun, other times with an ax, and on occasion dressed in more than just robes. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that Cultic made me feel like I was sitting on a kitchen chair in my friend's house, taking turns trying to clear levels like I was ten years old. When I find something that gives me that goosebump feeling of nostalgia, I eat it up. Cultic made it feel like Thanksgiving; I can't wait to see what the solo developer, Jason Smith, cooks up for chapter two.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamingnexus.com\u002FArticle\u002F7716\u002FCultic\u002F","2022-10-28","8.8",88,{"id":100,"author":101,"outlet":104,"summary":110,"review_url":111,"review_date":112,"original_score":113,"normalized_score":114},1513942,{"id":102,"name":103},3285,"Ted Litchfield",{"id":105,"logo":106,"name":107,"website_url":108,"score_format":109},35,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FPCGamer-Logo.jpg","PC Gamer","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pcgamer.com\u002F","100","Cultic doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's a standout shooter.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pcgamer.com\u002Fgames\u002Ffps\u002Fcultic-review\u002F","2025-12-11","81",81,{"id":116,"author":117,"outlet":120,"summary":125,"review_url":126,"review_date":68,"original_score":127,"normalized_score":54},3350553,{"id":118,"name":119},6533,"",{"id":121,"logo":122,"name":123,"website_url":124,"score_format":49},41,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FXbox%20Era%20Logo.jpg","XboxEra","https:\u002F\u002Fxboxera.com\u002F","One modern cult classic of a PC cult-based boomer shooter is finally hitting consoles.
