MADiSON

"While it&s;s built around an interesting mechanic and features tense, sometimes terrifying moments, MADiSON is frequently derailed by tedious puzzles and an irritating amount of backtracking."

"It takes the visual quality and puzzle solving of Visage and mixes in its own themes of old technology and the marching on of time."

"Many Scares To Be Had, But Far Too Formulaic"

"A fun game and concept with a specific audience. The issues with the brightness and layout knocked it down a few points. But the overall graphics and uniqueness still made MADiSON a fairly enjoyable experience."

"By far, the game that has made us spend the most in a long time. As an adventure it offers very interesting puzzles, despite certain obstacles in the control."

"MADiSON is a brilliant psichological horror about possession, paranormal events and a terrible ritual gone wrong. If you loved Visage, MADiSON is the next horror to play."

"Bloodious Games has been developing MADiSON since 2016, and it&s;s incredible to see a project of this magnitude come to fruition from a team of only two people. MADiSON creates a harrowing experience for fans to feast on, with its …"

"‎MADiSON has an oppressive atmosphere and ingenious puzzles that keep the player in tension from start to finish. However, the Bloodious Games game abuses jumpscares and has technical problems that weigh down the experience.‎"

"MADiSON is simultaneously one of the most tantalizing, yet enraging horror experiences I’ve ever played. The atmosphere and story are rich and engaging, and the scares are turned up to 11. But the puzzles are so baffling that it’s tough …"

"Undoubtedly dark and creepy, the survival horror of MADiSON can grab you but isn&s;t perfect by any means"

"Imagine MADiSON akin to liking a nice picture that&s;s out of focus: there&s;s still a special attribute for genre fans to appreciate, but others will be put-off by the inconsistent craftsmanship."

"Maybe you&s;ll find something to like if you&s;ve never played a horror game like this before, but for anyone well-versed in the genre, the ground MADiSON covers is very well-worn."

"Despite my misgivings, Madison still offers a respectable evening of frights and is worth a look for fans of psychological horror. It succeeds in building tension and puzzle variety, stumbling when it becomes obsessed with bamboozling players with head-tilting solutions …"

"Although the inspiration to P.T. was even obvious, which certainly could raise doubts about the personality of the title, MADiSON qualifies as a proud exponent of its category."

"If compared to top survival horror games, MADiSON really doesn&s;t have much to offer to even fit in the genre, let alone making any challenges, but as an action adventure game it offers some engaging puzzles and a great atmosphere."

"If you&s;re a fan of horror games that focus more on atmosphere and scares rather than combat, then MADiSON is a no-brainer. It&s;s not the most original game and it mostly follows the lead of pioneers like the aforementioned Outlast …"

"It&s;s been almost nine years since P.T.&s;s debut, but thanks to (or because of, depending on the case) productions like Madison, this time lapse seems much shorter. The title&s;s clear inspiration from the famous playable teaser is evident, but Bloodious …"

"MADiSON is a genuinely terrifying psychological horror game and does its job very well, making it stand out in the genre on Nintendo&s;s hybrid platform. Unfortunately, this is dragged down by the poor inventory system and unclear puzzle direction, causing …"

"Madison does so much well that it makes genre tropes succeed. From atmosphere to execution, this short horror romp takes you and doesn&s;t let go. It&s;s not without issues, with one progression point halfway through the game lacking the kind …"

"Although the story doesn&s;t deliver anything fresh, it serves the game well and provides a platform for the game&s;s excellent design and well-crafted horror. Go into MADiSON without any pretense of a groundbreaking story to find a terrifying journey through …"

"Madison VR is derivative, some of the puzzles have annoyingly obscure solutions and there really should be more VR comfort options, but the foreboding atmosphere and genuine frights more than make up for this. Put on your PSVR 2, plug …"

"Although MADiSON is a good proposal that ends up drowned by its flaws, it is not a horror game that you should avoid either, since it has moments that are very worthwhile."

"Madison is a welcome addition to the psychological horror genre and in fact a needed refresher in a tired genre, there are many well-timed and well-executed jump scares, and the overall art, ambiance, graphics, and music help a lot with …"
