Bloody Disgusting says Call of Cthulhu is "…destined to gain a cult following, remembered as one of the best Lovecraft adaptations to date... Hopefully, more filmmakers, game designers, and writers, in general, will take note of Cyanide’s novel approach to translating eldritch horror to modern gaming, and we’ll see some more spiritually faithful Lovecraftian media in the future, before the Great Old Ones finally awaken and decide to consume us all."—[Best of 2018] What Lovecraft Adaptations Can Learn from Cyanide’s ‘Call of Cthulhu’.
