I just want to make this absolutely clear that the three star rating is for the Switch version alone, and not Cult of the Lamb itself.
I have over 80 hours on COTL on Steam. The game itself is fantastic in every sense of the word. The art style is fantastic, the gameplay can be challenging but rewarding, the cult building aspect is extremely well thought out with resource management. Its fun, sometimes creepy and bloody, and honestly is one of my top 5 games of the past few years.
However, there are glaring flaws with the switch version that cannot be ignored.
- There is obvious input lag, both from regular joy cons and third party controllers. I am used to the game being EXTREMELY responsive, but there is about half a second of input lag no matter what controller/input I use. If this is the first console/version you play it might not be as noticable, but it's very plain to see if you've played it on another playform.
- The LAG during extremely populated rooms, particularly the Bishops room, could definitely cause a new player to lose their run. The more you play and the better you get it would have less of an impact, but I definitely found myself panic rolling because of lag quite a lot even just fighting Leshy.
- The time it takes to load into/out of crusades (runs). This isn't a huge issue, but I was honestly expecting the Switch to load something like this a bit faster given some of the other games that run on it.
Again, COTL is a 10/10 game. It's hard for me to give the Switch port anything more than a 6 or 7 because of performance issues. If you have the option, I would look into getting it on a different console or platform to get a smoother and much more enjoyable experience. My rating is for the Switch port and the Switch port alone, PC version (and I'm assuming PS5 as well) would be 5/5.

This is Animal Crossing if Tom Nook craved power instead of money. It is, much like football, a game of two halves. The first half involves growing, caring for, and—of course—indoctrinating your cult. You’ll need to take care of the basics before getting too ambitious, though. Your adorable little cultists need food to eat, places to sleep, and somewhere to poop. Don’t give them that last one, and they’ll just do it wherever they feel like it in the field you’re developing. Well, they are animals, after all.

The packaging for this Collector's edition is great. The artbook is fun to look through and it's nice to have access to the soundtrack as well. A great display piece along with my other Switch games.

Great game! I love the art book and soundtrack that came with it! It's a game a interesting but fun concept. If you like management games mixed in with a dungeon crawler (like Hades) you'll really enjoy this game!

Cult of the Lamb is one of the greatest titles to come out in the last few years. Gameplay, graphics, and music is all top notch. It’s a ton of fun and totally worth it.

Cult of the Lamb is a great game! It has everything from battles, farming, cooking and upgrading your weapons and cult. They just had an update which is great. You’ll lose track of time when playing this game. Plus you can change your cult member’s name so you don’t have to be stuck with the default name which is another + for me. Give it a try if you’re looking for a game with variety in it
