Cult of the Lamb was, without a doubt, one of the most pleasant surprises that the gaming world had in store for us in 2022. Announced at Gamescom 2021 and released last summer, we didn’t hesitate to try it once it was available, just to confirm that the title signed by Massive Monster and added to the Devolver Digital catalog was as fun and adorable a proposal as it already promised from its first advance.
Thus, despite not being a triple A, the truth is that since its first days it began to gain considerable notoriety, which in turn resulted in an enormous amount of tremendously positive reviews, both from professionals and the public. If we review its page on Steam, we will see that all the latest reviews are, according to the usual scale of the Valve store, extremely positive. Regarding the history, that is, the total number of reviews obtained by the game, Steam values them as very positive.
There are more than enough reasons for this. In my case, although I have not been able to dedicate as much time to it as I would have liked, the taste in my mouth that it has left in the less than four hours that I have played it coincides with that of the recent reviews of the game, since it is extremely positive . It is noted that the developers They have treated this game with great care in all aspectsensuring that each and every one of its elements is up to the task.
One never knows if these things are sincerely stated or if they are an exercise in humility, but Massive Monster and Devolver Digital have been surprised and very happy, logically, by the success achieved, and in response to it, as we can see on their page. from Steam, Cult of the Lamb will receive a huge update, totally free, on April 24. This is the content of it, according to the developer:
- New post-game story
- Deeper combat with Relics and Heavy Attacks
- Revamped bosses and enemies
- Challenge Races, Boss Rush and Permadeath
- New missions, progression systems and secrets.
- Improved cult management
- photo mode
- Added accessibility options
As you can see, we are talking about an update that will add new content to the game, both to the part of it that we can already play in the original version, as well as an expansion of the plot that will extend its journey. We also found new game modes, missions and improvements, so it seems that those who have already finished it in its initial version they will be able to enjoy it again for a few more hours.
Updates like this usually have, as a general rule, the format of paid DLC, so it is surprising and very happy that Relics of the Old Faith, which is the name of this first update of Cult of the Lamb, is totally free. It seems unlikely that this is the case, but it would be great if developers and distributors took an example from cases like this, or like Stardew Valley, which we talked about yesterday.
