Watch on YouTube The release date trailer for Martha is Dead.įor the record, I played an uncensored version of Martha is Dead on Xbox Series X, so it's possible the version I experienced will be very different to the one you do, but know that while I am easily spooked, I am not easily grossed out.
There are several sequences, in fact, that may spark the outrage of pearl clutchers everywhere, scenes that are so gratuitously obscene that even I - a card-carrying lover of deliciously dark stories with a penchant for psychological horror - struggle to justify, and that some may struggle to stomach. I don't think it's the scene we will be talking about. The scene everyone's talking about right now - a scene at the beginning of the game where a girl deftly slices off the face of her twin sister's corpse - is not the scene from Martha is Dead that we should be talking about. Availability: Out now on PC, PS4/PS5 (censored version), Xbox One and Series S/X.Consequently, though I promise to minimise them, it's unlikely this review will be entirely without spoilers. Whilst I do my best to keep my reviews spoiler-free, it's incredibly difficult to critique Martha Is Dead without reflecting, in part, on some of its more problematic story beats.
A good premise and gripping start is undermined by a second half of bugs, bad writing, and grossly overused clichés of mental ill-health.
