PC Critic Reviews

Even though a glimmer of an intriguing concept lies at its design core and I don't doubt that the lads at Epiphany Games have the finest of intentions, this is neither The Secret World, nor Hotline Miami. The stealth and combat are simply atrocious when attempted with PC controls, and a host of bugs will often break the more interesting parts of the game. The excellent soundtrack and the sheer manic glee with which the developers tried to include every conspiracy theory ever pondered in two and a half hours of gameplay is admirable but Majestic Nights has a long way to go before it can even be considered for cult stardom.

The gameplay needs quite a bit of work, the visuals are in dire need of an upgrade, and the story could use some streamlining.

Majestic Nights is a classic case of a game promising far more than it can deliver.

Frustrating mechanics, bad interface, and an unbelievably bland, confusing, and uninteresting story make for a bad combination. There’s so much wrong here that I hardly even have time to mention things like the terrible mini-games and wild inconsistency of one-hit stealth killing.

The contents of the two available episodes extinguishes all hope that somehow, someday Majestic Nights will get better.
