NoobFeed: 82 / 100 by Wasbir Sadat
Gloomy Eyes's open-world exploration and smart puzzles make it fun to play. It has a lovely yet creepy setting that makes it great for people who appreciate deep, interesting stories over violent ones.
Impulsegamer: 4.3 / 5
I had quite a bit of fun with Gloomy Eyes. There aren't any jump scares or frightening elements… it's all very "cutesy" "horror"… absolutely Tim Burton-esque… think The Corpse Bride or The Nightmare Before Christmas specifically. In fact I could easily imagine a line of toys of the characters and book nook versions of the dioramas… who wouldn't want a Gloomy or Nena plushie? But in all seriousness, Gloomy Eyes is a fun, low-risk game that provides a nice little bit of puzzle action with a captivating story told by a lovely voice (I believe the original narrator was Colin Farrell… I assume it is still him in the non-VR version… either way… lovely story-telling). It's certainly worth a play either for adults or children alike!
Gamer Social Club: 9.5 / 10 by Sean "KingOTheCask" Richards
Who would have thought that a little co-op puzzle platformer that I demo’ed at a gaming convention would truly deliver such a powerful punch in such a small package! Gloomy Eyes was a complete joy to experience and left me wanting to see more of this tiny little macabre world. If you like the concept of a spooky (yet cozy) solo-player co-op game, you owe it to yourself to add Gloomy Eyes to your game library.
