Our Verdict
Decent
A qualified success; the positive aspects still outnumber the negative, but the weaknesses noticeably hinder the experience.
The Awakened is a very uneven game, ranging from very poor to rather good, and the only consistent quality is its creepiness. It’s worth considering if you need your horror fix, but Cthulhu will certainly forgive you if you decide to skip it.
