More about Cult of the Lamb
Critics scored it 82. Players sit 14 points higher at 96 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 17 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written January 2026 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,176 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 957 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 3,336 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, finite spend); the score docks it lightly for that.

What players say
The game starts with you being sacrificed. Then an ancient god resurrects you. Then you start a cult. Then you build houses. Then you farm berries. Then you fish. Then you marry someone. Then you sacrifice them. Then you resurrect them. Then you go fishing again. Perfectly normal Tuesday. 10/10 : Animal Crossing + Hades + a lot of cute atrocities

sacrificing Steve because he wouldn't stop pooping on the floor. 10/10 The gameplay is ridiculously addictive. Build your cult by day, commit unspeakable crimes against nature by night. The art style is adorable, the combat is fun, and the management mechanics have no business being this entertaining.
This game is so good I can't stop playing it, I reccomend this game to people who force themselves to play gacha slop, actually I would reccomend any game to those people that's not gacha slop, but this one is especially good.
