Impressions: Relics of the Old Faith adds unholy pleasures to Cult of the Lamb

destructoid.com:

Cult of the Lamb basically sold itself with art and concept, but the game mechanics delivered as well. It’s dark, adorable, and undeniably fun.

As much as I loved being a cult leader though, I plateaued before I could beat two of the Old Faith, located in Anchordeep and Silk Cradle. Once I had unlocked all of the buildings, I was milking coins from the housing, shrine, and even the graves. Money was meaningless, my flock self-sufficient, and so I moved on to another game. Thankfully, the latest major update, titled Relics of the Old Faith, has brought fresh air, breathing new life into one of my favorite games.

For a completely free update, there is a lot to enjoy here. The overview of the update spells out the truly generous amount of new content added, including bosses, follower forms, Relics, new structures, heavy attacks, a judgey jellyfish, and more. Post update, I’ve been playing for hours, finally beating Anchordeep and Silk Cradle as well as adding “The One Who Waits to my flock”. Of course, I have thoughts.

Seeing Devotion coming out of the Shrine again filled me with joy. It unlocks new buildings, and thankfully, the team at Massive Monster understood the assignment: save space. The cult is beautiful, but space is pretty limited. With a temple, beds, a kitchen, a growing farm, a shrine, a prison, graves, and more, some common space issues soon pop up.

Where do I put all of these dead people? I chose a combination of graves and Natural Burial, which turned dead followers into fertilizer. However, it was easy to run out of space placing graves because once someone was buried, you couldn’t actually get rid of it! The new update fixes this by allowing players to exhume bodies from the grave.

There’s also a Morgue,
