Strengths

Weaknesses

  • UI stirs mild frustration: half the 8 UI mentions praise, half grumble

Who is it for?

Psychological horror fans chasing atmosphere over length will feel at home here. Retro dread enthusiasts hungry for a Silent Hill whisper will find solace.

Is Among Ashes worth it in 2026?

Yes, without reservation for most players: 95% of 472 Steam reviews are positive (player score 94/100). Most-praised strength: The story casts the longest shadow of all. Current price: 8,13€ (45% off).
