Apsulov: End of Gods is not the best horror game on the market, but it does try to create an original experience and it does a fairly good job at that. While the gameplay remains quite simple, and the beginning of the game is quite vague, the game does manage to pull you in, and before you know it, the end credits start rolling. We liked the concept, and the execution was decently handled. Nonetheless, we do have to mention that this is not really a next-gen game at all, and you can easily enjoy it on a last-gen console as well, or simply pick it up at a lower price on PC.

- 7.0Apsulov: End of Gods isn’t likely to set anyone’s world on fire – there’s nothing here that’s going to truly wow you. It is a well-constructed horror-adventure, however, and once it’s sucked you in it doesn’t let go until the credits roll. If you have a love of Norse mythology and want to see it successfully blended with a futuristic sci-fi setting to good effect, Apsulov: End of Gods comes highly recommended.
- 6.0As a design doc, a game that combines horror, sci-fi and Norse mythology sounds intriguing but in actually, Apsulov just seems uncertain of its identity. With too much clunky action for a narrative driven walking simulator, and not enough combat to excel as an action game, it’s a lot of bits and pieces that don’t quite connect. The game has some ideas floating around but they’re too often drowned in a sea of over-used cliches, tired gaming tropes and creative cul de sacs that lead nowhere in particular.
- 7.0Aspulov: End of Gods is a decent playthrough. It’s a game that does feel a bit dark – perhaps because of the size of the budget – but the essence of the game and the heart of its content is excellent. It’s something which neatly tells a worthwhile story, one that takes a well-trodden path but does something completely new with it.
- 7.0Apsulov: End of Gods is a worthy counterpart to other great Norse games of recent years. With only a small development team, it can't match the presentation of some of the games that inspired it, but it makes up for this with a distinctive character. Taking the ideas of Doom 3 and Dead Space and mixing them up with Norse mythology, this is a really interesting and enjoyable horror experience.
- 7.9Schöner Tapetenwechsel für Horrorfans mit toller Musik und irren Gegnern, der zu wenig aus seiner Story-Prämisse macht.
