Reception

Clive Barker's Jericho received a 5.6/10 from IGN and a 60 from Metacritic, which averages multiple reviews from both online and print media. The game follows Captain Ross as he journies to defeat an ancient evil. He leads a squad consisting of seven members, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, the squad's AI is not that sharp, causing team members to die frequently and fire on inappropriate targets. Other problems are the linear levels, weak storyline and frustrating puzzles. IGN praised the game for having decent graphics and audio.⁵
