    a love letter to a classic survival horror

    alone in the dark is an excellent game for retro enthusiasts and newcomers to the genre, alike. for fans of this series, there's a lot to love about this modern take on the original pc survival horror classic, you can even purchase extra character skins to make yourself look like the polygonal characters reminiscent of the ps1 era. the graphics are excellent and there's a lot of detail beathing life (or unlife) into the derceto estate as you search for a missing madman and uncover dark secrets. the voice acting is amazing and adds to the eerie atmosphere created by the scenery; the performances of david harbour and jodie comer are complimented by the lesser known actors involved, the story which is so important to creating an immersive experience in this genre, has received a lot of good attention. newcomers to survival horror will be pleased to find puzzles, item management, and combat are all simple but not so much that fans would be turned off. alone in the dark doesn't break ground in any sense, but it does an amazing job of bringing a dated classic up to par for modern gamers.

    Not a Bad Experience

    Had a great time with this game. The story telling, atmosphere, and vibe are great. Is it a bit janky, yes. Combat and enemy AI could be better but if you are a horror game fan, I recommend giving this a chance.

    Alone in the dark is back!

    This game is awesome(at least for me as a old school survival horror fan and fan of tge ps1 classic)this game does so much right and keeps you on your toes with surprises(though it is not perfect it is alot of fun)i would say it's an 8 out of 10 graphics are good but not fully ps5(next gen)more like agood ps4 game. I dig it and think it fits the vibe well. Voice acting is great and gameplay interesting and fun for puzzles and such. Combat a luttle clunky but still good and you can adapt to it. All in all i am enjoying it and actually put down other games to play it.

    Awesome game

    I truly loved this game. I highly recommend a play through. There are lots of puzzles and a very great atmosphere. Its not super scary. Survival horror is probably an inacurate genre description. But it is thrilling. Highly recommend.
