"Atari dusted off another of its classics and the result is a bit scary, but at the same time cute and mostly interesting. Both younger and older players will have fun with ghosts."

"Haunted House is a good way to reinvent a 1980s classic, with a cool diversity of elements. However, it is in a middle ground of not being a roguelike that captures the attention of fans of the genre, but also …"

"The Haunted House remake is a true successor to the 1982 original. This roguelite replaces large battles with sneaking and puzzling and this works wonderfully well. The rooms are randomly generated each time, making each attempt different and surprising. The …"

"The latest incarnation of Haunted House is fine. The roguelike nature is done well enough, but the relentless enemies and your own fragility mean that some deaths can feel unfair. The same complaint can apply to your inconsistent weapons and …"

"Haunted House&s;s task-based exploration and emphasis on stealth offer promising foundations for a compelling gameplay loop. However, challenges with enemy interactions, inconsistent stealth cues, and the occasional lack of reliable hiding options detracts from the overall experience. Refining these aspects …"
