"The One" gave the Amiga version of "Eye of the Beholder" an overall score of 92%, heavily comparing it to "Dungeon Master", stating that "Comparisons to the classic - "Dungeon Master" - are inevitable. When two games look this similar, even their programmers would have trouble telling them apart." "The One" praises "Eye of the Beholder's" gameplay, stating that "in contrast to previous AD&D titles, there's more emphasis on puzzle-solving than combat - a refreshing change ... Combat is also handled extremely well, the spells and 'ranged weapons' rules are all faithful to the original game ... The gameplay works wonderfully, conjuring up both the spirit and the atmosphere that you get from [tabletop AD&D." Despite this, "The One" expresses that "Eye of the Beholder" is on par with "Dungeon Master" and "Chaos Strikes Back", but states that "Eye of the Beholder" is still "an essential purchase for followers of the AD&D series".
