Should you purchase Lazaretto? Well, if you enjoy Michael Bay-style summer popcorn flicks that involve highly technical special effects and explosions every couple of minutes, then no. If you’re more of an independent film buff that prefers story over substance, and don’t mind a few rough edges, I say go for it. The scares coupled with the excellent sound design provided me an experience that I plan on enjoying again in another playthrough. Considering that Lazaretto is being planned as a trilogy, I’m tremendously excited for what the franchise’s future holds.

Critic reviews
- 7.0There's a great story and atmosphere here, and they push you through some of the game's problems all the way to the bitter end.
- 4.0Playing The Lazaretto is a llot like playing through a lot of different haunted house games mashed together. With more supporting details and tension built up around these individual concepts, the creators may have had something actually scary, but blended all together the game feels unfocused, as if they thought just adding in this particular thing here mixed with a few jump scares would make an instant horror game. Good horror thankfully, is not that simple.
- 7.5Même si le jeu est assez court, l'intensité de Jeu d’horreur Lazaretto est présente et saura se faire apprécier des fans de jeux d'aventure effrayant. Le studio Iron Monkey propose un bon portage, et malgré la perte de qualité notable par rapport à la version PC, vraiment très intéressant bien que subsistent quelques bugs dans la manipulation des contrôles. Un premier chapitre efficace qui laisse présager un deuxième encore plus tranchant... mais attention, à ne pas mettre entre les mains des plus jeunes !
