VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "All said, Headware Games’ latest is another retro-horror title I’m more inclined to respect at a distance than thoroughly recommend. Like Paratopic, Glitchhikers, and a glut of other contemporaries capturing this tantalizing vibe on limited budgets, it’s a sub-genre I hope continues long into the future. Chasing Static is a more interesting example, especially in how some of its design quirks marry with the aesthetic, while still missing a crucial “x quality” in its design and storytelling. But for horror fans, perhaps there’s still enough to appreciate in spite of the fuzzy picture."

Josh @ FG: Lo-fi first-person psychological horror Chasing Static is out now on consoles, but does it get a hi-fi(ve)? The Finger Guns review.
From PSU: "Chasing Static creates a strong sense of nostalgia as the appreciation of late 90's era horror games shines through. The game works well as a throwback, but it doesn't work as well as a horror game in its own right. More than that however it is ultimately let down by an abundance of overly familiar narrative choices. Minding that, fans of PlayStation 1 style horror should still find something to love."
