"Code Violet is an ambitious sci-fi horror shooter with a surprisingly strong story at its core. Unfortunately, weak execution in key areas like voice acting, combat, and visual presentation constantly undermines that ambition."

"Code Violet is not the Dino Crisis successor you may have hoped for, and doesn&s;t even clear the bar of being a successful clone of the various other third-person shooters it cribs most of its ideas from."

"Code Violet is a mess. Crummy combat, tedious exploration, technical problems. The sexy costumes and horny camerawork seem at odds with both Violet as a character and the tone of the writing. Even at six hours long it&s;s tough to …"

"Code Violet is a game that is made up of contradictions. There&s;s no doubt that the people who made it love classic survival horror movies, and the mood, sound design, and main loop sometimes work together to make really scary …"

"Code Violet is not worth recommending to survival horror fans. None of its elements work to make it stand out in a crowded space, and this one is going to be forgotten quite easily. You&s;d be wise to save your …"
