One of the best thought out FMV games by Wales Interactive, a must play for fans of the genre and good entry point for newcomers. This game was reviewed based on Xbox S|X review code, using an Xbox S|X console.

The Isle Tide Hotel is a visually striking, unsettling FMV game with a memorable cast. Its gameplay is generally par for the course, as are its settings, but its really the story and the variety of branching paths that make it memorable. It doesn’t feel like a chore to discover new paths. While I can’t spoil any of the story branches, it’s worth noting that I didn’t encounter a single unenjoyable one in six of seven playthroughs. The characters you encounter all seem a bit… off… in the best possible way, and some are more nuanced than others. I’ll definitely be revisiting the game soon.

Depending on the path players take and if they utilize the scene-skipping function, a run through of The Isle Tide Hotel will generally last about one and a half to two hours. The many ideas introduced in the game could've been explored more with a longer run time, but it's fairly satisfying to go back through multiple times to discover new endings and not have it take a huge amount of time. While it's not quite as creepy or deep as it intends to be, The Isle Tide Hotel offers an inspired environment to explore and engaging acting that make the title mostly worthwhile for the price. Source: Wales Interactive/YouTube The Isle Tide Hotel will release today, September 12 for PlayStation consoles, Xbox consoles, Nintendo Switch, PC, iOS and Android.

The Isle Tide Hotel is an uneven game. It delivers in its goal to tell some compelling stories about very interesting people and a cult that’s up to some incredibly odd behaviour, but the inarticulate efforts to gamify the experience may prove too frustrating for those not already enamored with the concept or the genre. Score: 3/5.

Described as “a British Twin Peaks” on its Steam page, The Isle Tide Hotel falls desperately short of its promises. It has some interesting moments, sure, but the overall storytelling just isn’t good enough to ever truly capture your attention. This certainly isn’t Wales Interactive’s worst game – there’s still a lot to like – but with its premise of a mysterious cult holding so much potential, it’s perhaps one of the most disappointing.

If you buy into the mystery and you can tolerate the obnoxious characters then you'll get more out of this than we did. But by the time we were lost in the maze, bamboozled, for what felt like an hour, we just didn't care anymore. We played it twice and got different endings and neither was worth it. Maybe there's an ending that's a banger and we just missed it. We suspect not.
