Cult of the Lamb was undoubtedly one of the most pleasant surprises 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 out as soon as it became available. just to confirm that the title signed by Massive Monster and added to the Devolver Digital catalog was as fun and adorable a proposition as it promised since its first progress.

Even if it’s not a triple A, the truth is from its early days it began to gain considerable notoriety, which led to an overwhelming number of overwhelmingly positive reviews from both experts and the public. If we check out its Steam page, we’ll see that all of the latest reviews are extremely positive by Valve’s usual yardstick. In terms of history, i.e. the total number of reviews received by the game, Steam evaluates them very positively.

There are more than enough reasons for this. In my case, while I haven’t been able to spend as much time with it as I’d like, the taste in my mouth left in the less than four hours I’ve played it matches the aftertaste of recent reviews. games because it is extremely positive. It should be noted that the developers They have handled this game with great care in all aspectsensuring that each of its elements fulfills the given task.

One never knows if these things are expressed sincerely or if they are an exercise in humility, but Massive Monster and Devolver Digital were surprised and logically very happy about the success achieved and in response to it, as we can see on their Steam page, Cult of the Lamb will receive a huge update, completely free, on April 24th. This is its content, according to the developer:

• New story after the game
• Deeper combat with relics and heavy attacks
• Improved 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 parts 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 upgrades, so it seems that those who have already completed it in the original version they will be able to enjoy it again for a few hours.

Updates like this are usually in the format of paid DLC, so this is surprising and very happy Relics of the old faith, which is the name of this first Cult of the Lamb update, is completely free. It seems unlikely that this is the case, but it would be great if developers and distributors took a cue from cases like this one or like the Stardew Valley we talked about yesterday.
