Push Square: 3 / 10 by Robert Ramsey

If you have a burning nostalgia for early 2000s action titles, you might be able to squeeze some semblance of enjoyment from Captain Blood, but even then, you've got to wade through tedious, weightless combat and bafflingly overlooked audio issues.

Game Rant: 4 / 10 by Max Borman

Captain Blood may seem like a nice throwback to hack and slash games of the past, but it really feels like an outdated experience in 2025.

Full Review

PlayStation LifeStyle: 7 / 10

Captain Blood is such an interesting release, a true time capsule from a different era of gaming. From the static camera angles to the way it treats quick-time events, it is clear that the team was inspired by Resident Evil 4 and the PS2 God of War games during development.
