The reviews of Martha is Dead highlight its ambitious exploration of dark themes and psychological depth, with many critics praising its atmospheric storytelling and thematic richness. The narrative’s focus on trauma, identity, and the horrors of World War II resonates strongly, as noted by TheXboxHub, which praised its "socially dramatic and terrifying" atmosphere enhanced by Italian language immersion. Push Square commended its unique premise and episodic structure, while IGN Adria and Jeuxvideo.com highlighted its psychological horror elements and exploration of family trauma. The game’s willingness to tackle unsettling topics like abuse, self-harm, and wartime atrocities was seen as a strength by GamesRadar+ and Screen Rant, who acknowledged its capacity to provoke emotional engagement despite its disturbing content. Additionally, Multiplayer.it and SpazioGames praised the intricate plot twists and character development, emphasizing how the story challenges players to interpret rather than passively consume. However, several critics pointed to significant flaws in execution, particularly around narrative coherence and pacing. Checkpoint Gaming and BaziCenter criticized the game for feeling disjointed and lacking cohesion, with WellPlayed noting its failure to deliver a "coherent and engaging story." The second half of the plot was frequently described as predictable or confusing, with Riot Pixels and GameSkinny pointing to clichéd storytelling and abrupt twists. Adventure Gamers and God is a Geek highlighted issues like excessive exposition, inconsistent character actions, and an unsatisfying ending that undermined earlier promise. The game’s slow pacing and heavy reliance on psychological horror also drew mixed reactions, with IGN Adria calling it "slow and tedious" and TheXboxHub noting the potential for the narrative to feel "overly emotional." These critiques suggest that while the game’s themes were compelling, its execution often fell short of delivering a seamless experience. Despite these criticisms, there is a general consensus that Martha is Dead is a bold, if uneven, entry in psychological horror. While some reviewers like TheXboxHub and Push Square found it entertaining and well-told, others such as Checkpoint Gaming and BaziCenter felt it struggled with its own ambitions. The game’s strengths—its atmospheric storytelling, thematic depth, and willingness to confront difficult subjects—are frequently acknowledged, even as its narrative flaws, such as pacing issues and unresolved plot threads, left some critics frustrated. Overall, the reviews reflect a polarizing experience: a game that succeeds in creating an immersive, emotionally charged world but falters in maintaining consistency and clarity throughout its story. As Game Informer noted, it starts strong but ultimately "loses sight of its focus," leaving players divided between admiration for its ambition and disappointment in its execution.

The gameplay of Martha is Dead receives mixed praise, with several critics highlighting its unique narrative-driven approach and atmospheric elements. Many reviewers, such as IGN Adria and Push Square, acknowledge the game’s focus on psychological horror and first-person exploration, emphasizing the photography mechanic as a standout feature that adds depth to storytelling. Adventure Gamers and App Trigger commend the game’s emphasis on narrative immersion, noting how the camera mechanic enhances the experience by allowing players to engage with the environment in meaningful ways. Additionally, SECTOR.sk and MondoXbox praise the integration of photography and Morse code puzzles, which contribute to a sense of immersion and creativity. The game’s slow-paced, introspective design is seen as a strength by some, offering a reflective experience that prioritizes emotional engagement over traditional gameplay mechanics. However, the majority of critics criticize Martha is Dead for its repetitive, sluggish gameplay and lack of challenge. Gaming Nexus and Game Informer describe it as a "walking simulator" with uneventful objectives, while Riot Pixels and EGM note that the simplistic mechanics—such as fetch quests and minimal interaction—lead to a sense of futility. Issues like cumbersome controls, progress-stopping bugs, and poorly explained puzzles are frequently mentioned, with IGN Adria and Push Square pointing out the clunky pacing and disjointed narrative threads. VGC and XBLA Fans highlight the frustration caused by sparse exploration in the forest and technical flaws, such as invisible walls and broken mechanics. The game’s reliance on photography as a core mechanic is also seen as underdeveloped, with GamesRadar+ and JeuxActu noting that it often feels like an afterthought rather than a meaningful gameplay element. Overall, critics agree that Martha is Dead is a polarizing experience, balancing atmospheric storytelling with significant gameplay shortcomings. While Adventure Gamers, App Trigger, and SECTOR.sk appreciate its narrative depth and unique mechanics, the consensus leans toward frustration with its slow pacing, repetitive tasks, and technical issues. IGN Adria and Push Square encapsulate this divide, calling the game “disjointed” yet acknowledging its potential. Despite mixed reactions, many reviewers, including GamesRadar+ and Eurogamer Italy, recognize that the story and emotional engagement can mitigate some of the gameplay’s flaws, though the lack of polish and focus ultimately hinders its impact. The game’s ambition is evident, but its execution falls short of delivering a cohesive or satisfying interactive experience.

Based on analyzing reviews that specifically scored or critiqued the graphics and visual design.

The graphics and visual design of Martha is Dead are widely praised for their atmospheric depth and attention to historical detail, with many reviewers highlighting the game’s ability to evoke the 1940s Italian setting. Critics like IGN France and TheXboxHub lauded the “stunning photorealistic art direction” and “gorgeous visuals” that immerse players in the Tuscan countryside, while Adventure Gamers commended the meticulous recreation of 1940s technology, such as the Rolleicord camera and film development process. The game’s environments—particularly the house, forests, and lake—are frequently noted for their vivid detail and emotional resonance. KeenGamer and COGconnected emphasized the photorealistic quality of the settings, with Push Square praising the “visually arresting landscapes” and Jeuxvideo.com highlighting the striking contrast between serene Tuscan vistas and darker narrative elements. The art direction effectively balances beauty with unease, as noted by GamesRadar+, which praised the game’s ability to create a “sinister atmosphere” through its visual storytelling. However, several critics pointed out technical limitations that detract from the experience. Issues like texture pop-in, frame rate instability, and performance hiccups were recurring complaints. Shindig and New Game Network cited severe texture pop-in and frame skips, while SpazioGames described the visual design as “basic” with “polygonal models” that lack polish. Cultured Vultures and GamingBolt mentioned crashes, freezes, and “potato mode” performance, which undermined immersion. GameSkinny noted muddy textures up close and uncanny facial animations, while TheSixthAxis criticized dark interiors for clashing with the game’s otherwise vibrant visuals. Xbox Tavern and Finger Guns highlighted visible slowdown and texture loading issues, suggesting that technical flaws occasionally disrupted the game’s atmospheric cohesion despite its strong visual foundations. Overall, the consensus among critics is that Martha is Dead excels in creating a hauntingly beautiful 1940s Italian setting, with its art direction and environmental design being standout strengths. While indie development constraints led to technical shortcomings—such as texture issues and performance hiccups—many reviewers acknowledged these as minor drawbacks compared to the game’s immersive visual storytelling. IGN France and Jeuxvideo.com emphasized the “immersive experience” despite minor graphical flaws, while BaziCenter and MondoXbox praised the detailed environments that effectively capture the era’s atmosphere. Though not without its technical challenges, the game’s visuals are generally seen as a critical component of its narrative power, with many critics agreeing that its artistic vision outweighs its imperfections.

The sound design and music of Martha is Dead have been widely praised for their immersive and atmospheric contributions to the game’s narrative and horror elements. Critics consistently highlight the effective use of ambient sounds, period-appropriate music, and emotional voice acting to create a tense, eerie atmosphere. For instance, COGconnected and Jeuxvideo.com commend the “immersive score” and “haunting soundtrack,” while Cultured Vultures lauds the blend of folk ballads, choirs, and strings that enhance the game’s macabre tone. The inclusion of Italian classics and authentic period music, as noted by MondoXbox and Jeuxvideo.com, adds historical depth, while Finger Guns’ observation about “disjointed violin notes” underscores how sound design amplifies psychological horror. Additionally, Gaming Nexus and PlayStation Universe praise the emotional dialogue and musical ambience, which deepen player engagement with the story’s emotional core. Despite these strengths, some critics point to minor flaws in the audio design. Push Square mentions that “some tunes are considered generic,” while WellPlayed critiques the “average” voice acting that fails to convey emotional weight, detracting from immersion. Subtitle issues also arise as a concern: GameCritics notes discrepancies between Italian voiceovers and English subtitles, and Press Start Australia criticizes the English dub for obscuring dialogue during intense moments. Additionally, Softpedia points out that the music can feel “heavy-handed at times,” suggesting it occasionally overshadows other elements. While these critiques are relatively minor, they highlight areas where the audio design could have been more nuanced or polished to better align with the game’s narrative and emotional beats. Overall, the consensus among critics is overwhelmingly positive, with most agreeing that the sound design and music significantly enhance Martha is Dead’s atmosphere and storytelling. The use of Italian voice acting, period-accurate music, and immersive ambient effects creates a cohesive and haunting experience, as emphasized by reviewers like Jeuxvideo.com, Malditos Nerds, and IGN France. While some critiques about generic compositions or subtitle inconsistencies exist, these are overshadowed by the general acclaim for the audio’s ability to elevate the game’s psychological horror and historical authenticity. The mixed platform reception (PS5, Xbox, PC) further underscores the broad appeal of the sound design, which consistently contributes to a memorable and immersive gameplay experience.

The voice acting in Martha is Dead receives widespread acclaim, particularly for its Italian performances, which are consistently praised for their authenticity, emotional depth, and immersion. Critics like COGconnected highlight Katie McGovern’s work as emotionally resonant, while Games.cz and Gaming Nexus note the Italian voice acting enhances the game’s atmosphere. KeenGamer specifically commends Giulia’s sincerity, and Push Square calls it “authentic,” emphasizing its role in grounding the narrative. PlayStation Universe and MondoXbox praise both Italian and English dubs as top-notch, though many critics stress that the Italian version is the preferred choice for its cultural authenticity. Jeuxvideo.com, Eurogamer Italy, and PC Invasion all highlight the Italian voice acting’s ability to convey emotional nuance, with some noting it as a deliberate design choice to reflect the game’s Tuscan setting. The consensus here is that the original Italian performances elevate the storytelling, creating a more immersive experience. However, several critics point out flaws in the English dub and translation issues that detract from the overall quality. Finger Guns criticizes the English dub as “some of the worst since Resident Evil,” while WellPlayed calls the voice acting “subpar” for lacking emotional depth. Generación Xbox and Movies Games and Tech mention translation discrepancies, with the latter noting subtitle issues that hinder understanding. Press Start Australia adds that dialogue can be obscured by achievements, and Jeuxvideo.com (again) notes translation problems that disrupt immersion. While some critics like Gamers’ Temple acknowledge the English dub’s quality, others argue it fails to match the emotional weight of the Italian version. These critiques suggest that while the original voice acting excels, the English adaptation and technical execution fall short in key areas. Overall, the critical reception leans heavily toward admiration for the Italian voice acting, with most reviewers agreeing it is a standout element of the game’s presentation. The majority of critics—such as Jeuxvideo.com, Malditos Nerds, and SECTOR.sk—emphasize its authenticity and emotional impact, while acknowledging minor issues like translation errors or subtitle inconsistencies. However, the English dub and technical flaws in some translations create a split in opinions, with several reviewers (e.g., Finger Guns, WellPlayed) expressing dissatisfaction. Despite these drawbacks, the consensus is that Martha is Dead’s voice acting, particularly in Italian, significantly enhances its narrative and atmosphere, making it a defining strength of the game.

The technical performance of Martha is Dead varies across platforms, with some positive aspects noted despite widespread issues. On PS5, critics like Games.cz acknowledged frequent autosaves that mitigate frustrations, while Jeuxvideo.com highlighted that the game runs well on recommended hardware despite minor texture and freezing problems. For Xbox Series X|S, MondoXbox praised its smooth performance with stable frame rates (30-40fps), and Metro GameCentral commended its "technically impressive" visuals. On PC, SECTOR.sk noted good optimization and support for high graphical settings, while IGN France mentioned solid performance despite ray tracing demands. Even on Xbox One, some reviewers like Checkpoint Gaming acknowledged the game’s visual appeal, though it was plagued by technical flaws. These positives suggest that, in ideal conditions, Martha is Dead can deliver a stable and visually engaging experience. However, the negatives across platforms are more pronounced, with numerous critics highlighting significant technical shortcomings. On PS5, App Trigger, COGconnected, and KeenGamer all criticized freezes, crashes, and bugs that disrupted gameplay, while PlayStation Universe lamented unreliable auto-saves and repeated dialogue issues. For Xbox Series X|S, BaziCenter and GameGrin described "insanely buggy" performance with frame drops and game-breaking glitches, and Jeuxvideo.com noted frame rate inconsistencies. On PC, critics like Adventure Gamers and VGC mentioned crashes and bugs that required patches, while New Game Network and TrueGaming highlighted extreme frame skips and stuttering. Even on Xbox One, Shindig and XBLA Fans criticized frame rate issues, corrupted saves, and navigation problems. These recurring issues suggest a lack of polish across all platforms, with many reviewers advising patience for fixes. The overall consensus among critics is that Martha is Dead suffers from inconsistent technical performance, with platform-specific challenges compounding its flaws. While some reviews, like those from MondoXbox (Xbox Series X) and SECTOR.sk (PC), praised stability or optimization under certain conditions, the majority of critiques—spanning PS5 (Games.cz’s minor issues to Push Square’s "game-breaking bugs"), Xbox (BaziCenter’s frame drops, GameGrin’s infinite loading screens), PC (Adventure Gamers’ crashes, TrueGaming’s stuttering), and even Xbox One (Shindig’s corrupted saves)—highlight a game plagued by instability. Despite occasional praise for visuals or minor fixes, the technical issues appear to overshadow the experience, leaving many critics divided between acknowledging its artistic merits and lamenting its lack of polish. The disparity in reports suggests that while some players might enjoy a smoother experience, others face significant hurdles, reflecting broader optimization challenges across platforms.

The reviewers generally acknowledge some positive aspects of Martha is Dead’s replay value, particularly its narrative-driven elements and optional content. Critics like Gaming Nexus highlight the presence of multiple endings, which could encourage players to revisit the game for different outcomes, while Gamers’ Temple points to side quests and hidden features that add depth. God is a Geek notes unique touches such as tarot cards, camera skins, and newspaper readings, which enhance immersion and provide minor incentives for replayability. Additionally, Malditos Nerds suggests the game’s engaging narrative and themes might leave players wanting more, even if the core experience is brief. These elements, though limited, offer a few reasons to return, particularly for those drawn to the story’s emotional weight or curiosity about alternative paths. However, the majority of critics emphasize significant limitations in replay value, primarily due to the game’s linear structure and lack of gameplay variety. COGconnected, Finger Guns, and Games.cz all criticize the straightforward nature of the narrative, which restricts player agency and reduces incentives for multiple playthroughs. Jeuxvideo.com and PSX Brasil stress that the focus on story over mechanics makes the experience feel one-dimensional, while TheSixthAxis expresses regret over the time spent due to aimless exploration and technical issues. Even TrueAchievements, which notes a 15-hour playtime, acknowledges the game’s short duration and lack of post-completion content. The repetitive gameplay and minimal branching paths further diminish replayability, as highlighted by Twinfinite and TrueGaming, who point to a lack of diverse tasks and unengaging mechanics. Overall, the consensus among critics is that Martha is Dead has limited replay value due to its linear storytelling, short runtime, and reliance on narrative over interactive gameplay. While some reviewers like Gaming Nexus and Gamers’ Temple recognize minor positives such as multiple endings or side quests, these are often overshadowed by the game’s shortcomings. The majority agree that the experience is best suited for a single playthrough, with IGN Italia and Metro GameCentral noting that the heavy themes and guided narrative may deter repeated engagement. Despite occasional praise for its atmospheric storytelling, the lack of meaningful choices or post-game content leaves most critics unconvinced of its long-term appeal.

The overall verdict of Martha is Dead highlights its ambitious narrative and artistic strengths, with many critics praising its psychological depth, haunting atmosphere, and thematic boldness. Shindig lauds the game as a "remarkable game with a powerful story and themes," while IGN Adria notes its "psychological depth" despite its tedious nature. The visual design and soundscapes are frequently celebrated, with Jeuxvideo.com describing it as a "disturbing yet captivating experience" and Wccftech calling it a "beautiful, contemporary work of visual art." Critics like GameGrin acknowledge its controversial nature and "interesting mechanics," while others, such as IGN France, praise it as a "near-perfect indie title" with a compelling narrative that challenges perceptions of reality. The game’s exploration of trauma, identity, and morality resonates strongly, even if its execution is uneven. However, the negatives are equally prominent, with technical flaws, gameplay issues, and narrative inconsistencies frequently cited. GameGrin calls it "unenjoyable and lacking integrity," while Checkpoint Gaming criticizes it as a "mediocre horror game" weighed down by "excessive mechanics and shock value." Many reviewers highlight performance problems across platforms: Shindig notes "technical issues on Xbox One severely limit accessibility," and GamingBolt points to "frustrating gameplay and pacing issues." The story’s ambiguity and lack of clarity also draw criticism, with IGN describing the "broadly ambiguous storytelling" as underwhelming. Others, like God is a Geek, mention the narrative "loses its way toward the end," while GameSkinny laments its failure to "stick the landing." These flaws often overshadow the game’s strengths, leaving players frustrated despite its artistic ambitions. The overall consensus among critics is mixed but leans toward acknowledging Martha is Dead as a bold, if flawed, entry in the psychological horror genre. While many praise its narrative courage and atmospheric design—such as IGN Italia’s call for "ambitious and thought-provoking indie title"—others find it inaccessible due to technical issues and uneven gameplay. Critics like LevelUp and XBLA Fans argue that fans of the genre may still find value in its unique approach, even if it falls short of greatness. Meanwhile, titles like IGN France and Wccftech highlight its near-perfect execution in certain aspects, while others, such as GameGrin and Checkpoint Gaming, remain critical of its shortcomings. Ultimately, the game is seen as a polarizing but memorable experience that prioritizes thematic ambition over polished mechanics, leaving players divided between admiration for its vision and frustration with its implementation.

TL;DR

Bold yet flawed, Martha is Dead dazzles with atmospheric depth and thematic courage but falters under technical hiccups, uneven gameplay, and a story that loses focus, leaving players divided between admiration and frustration.
