Let's make one thing clear. Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace is not the digital version of the famous board game, nor was it much beloved card game. Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace is more in spirit with JRPG than TTRPG. Was the game good? No, it is not as good as it should have been, but it could be way worst than what we got. What you love/hate about Arkham Horror is here. The colorful character roster, the Sanity check, the Mythos penalties and so on. The graphic is decent, the soundtrack is fine, and surprisingly, the dialogues are fully voiced. So would i recommend Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace? It's depend how much you love Arkham Horror as a franchise. If you do, yeah, go ahead. Not like there is other option. If not, you would not miss anything.

If you like the Arkham Horror Games (especially Mansions of Madness): Take a look, you might like this game! Otherwise: Don't bother, there are better options. That being said: I liked it. Primarily because I like the Arkham Horror Franchise and its characters.

It is a nice touch. Not quite terrifying, but interesting, especially, if you like the tabletop games with the same characters.

If you like Lovecraft's stories and setting this is worth a play if you can buy it on a LARGE discount. It is somewhat atmospheric, and is well narrated (other voice acting is hit and miss). Graphics and music are better than expected. Game play is very simple, almost walking simulator simple, if that makes sense (but it isn't a walking simulator). What are you getting? A weird combo b/w a very simple adventure game, and a poor xcom style tactical battle system. However, as I said, if you like Lovecraftian stuff the adventure components are ok and the combat is tolerable for brief periods. It isn't a hard game and is a good one to play if you just want to turn off your brain and chill. I'd give it.... 5/10? Really only worth it if you like the subject matter and are feeling a bit starved.
