Bloodshore

"Bloodshore finds itself stuck in a cruel circle, as a bland game adaptation of a roughly cut movie, which in turn is a bad adaptation of a game genre."

"Bloodshore is a short and sweet FMV game with good acting and characters, let down by a lack of branching narrative and a sometimes passive gameplay experience."

"Bloodshore ridicules many problematic areas such as the gaming world, broadcasters, social media, classic media, television shows, and makes us spend a few hours of fun."

"Bloodshore continues Wales Interactive&s;s streak of entertaining interactive genre films, this time in the exploitation late-night action arena. With a fun battle royale plot, a few twists and turns, and some gnarly violence, Bloodshore provides several runs worth of solid …"

"Ultimately, Bloodshore is a title capable of offering some jolts of nostalgia to fans of the old FMV productions, with a proposal that is however far from memorable."

"Bloodshore is the game that just keeps on giving when it comes to replayability. While the longevity of a single playthrough is roughly around two hours. The number of choices that the game has to offer will always give you …"

"While the narrative might be a little predictable, for its low price, great acting, and endless replayability, Bloodshore is a must-play for those interested in FMV."

"The story is slight, the acting is rubbish, and the special effects are merely effects. The synthwave soundtrack is actually really good. It lasts an hour and change which, like most Wales Interactive movie-games, is absolutely perfect. You probably already …"

"It has been fascinating in the last generation or so to watch the FMV genre not only return to the fold, but really make a stab at legitimacy as well..."

"Unfortunately, Bloodshore is Wales Interactive and Good Gate Media’s most disappointing collaboration yet. We thought very highly of The Complex and Five Dates, and the recent Night Book weaved an enjoyable narrative, too. But Bloodshore never quite hits the mark. …"

"Bloodshore is a comedic battle royale without any particular flair. As a person who likes niche films, I find that there are few things worth paying attention to here, although I did not have a very bad time. The advantage …"

"Featuring characters it&s;s difficult to give a shit about, as well as an entirely throwaway narrative that you&s;ll immediately forget as soon as the credits roll, Bloodshore is mildly entertaining, but only in a “look at how bad this is” …"

"Overall, though, Bloodshore is still one of the better examples of the FMV revolution. It&s;s a lot of fun to experience, and leans into the cheese that both successfully works with a lot of FMV games, and for examples of …"

"You’ll feel the pain of betrayal and probably laugh a few times along the way in Bloodshore, an FMV game about a dystopian, televised battle royale tournament. The acting throughout is of a high quality, offsetting some very cheesy lines …"

"Eschewing its blatantly campy potential in favour of an effort-devoid mess of ideas and tones, Bloodshore is as disappointing as it is utterly forgettable."
