The setting is original and the social deception mechanics and possibilities are great. The gameplay is tense and perfect for a good night with some fellow crewmates. What we really did not like is the tough accessibility concerning the game and English-speaking players. Most of the entire game is flooded with Chinese people, and somehow the game is struggling greatly with providing English (solo) players with a good place.

Critic reviews
- Dread Hunger is marketed as far more… well, dreadful… than it actually is; instead of being forced into a psychologically tense situation with 7 other strangers, I found myself laughing at the ridiculous situations we consistently ended up in. White the Northwest Passage may be frigid, players can slowly warm up to Dread Hunger and all it has to offer with addicting gameplay that’ll make it hard to stop even after playing the day away.
- 6.0Dread Hunger isn’t a game that I think you should buy at full price, at least not in its current state. With a lack of story and player-purpose, it feels like the game is still in beta — and yet, here we are, at full release. The player-base may dry up before the game really, and truly, reaches its full potential. It’s such a shame, because, for what the game does do right it does quite well.
- 8.0Ultimately, Dread Hunger is truly a well-thought-out and brutal game that feels novel in its execution, but its difficulty and gameplay loop may not be for everyone.
- 7.0Dread Hunger has a solid premise, but whether it’s a good time depends almost entirely on the people you play with. The survival elements are fun, but the social deception mechanics are where it’s at. Dread Hunger has some built-in limitations, but its theme and setting help it stand out from other games in the genre. Whether you’re trying to maintain order or create chaos, Dread Hunger will put your ingenuity and acting skills to the test.
- 8.0Dread Hunger è un gioco di sopravvivenza davvero intrigante, un titolo che poggia tutto sull’esperimento sociale della fiducia oltre l’apparenza, che spinge quasi il giocatore a mettersi in gioco, anche quando è il gioco a scegliere per lui. Da esploratori o traditori, il titolo si lascia giocare con piacere, dando dimostrazione di poter toccare le corde di chiunque, anche chi non fosse particolarmente appassionato.
