As Dusk Falls Review - IGN

As Dusk Falls' interactive crime drama is a masterwork of branching storytelling where decisions matter and repeated playthroughs are rewarded with even more revelations.

Did not expect this from IGN.
I will give it a shot asap.

You didn't expect a high score from IGN?

[monkey602]

Well it's not a 7

[Mobis-New-Nest]

For a company that gave The Masterpiece First Person Shooter known as Doom 2016 a 7.1 and then the insulting score of 5.9 to Alien Isolation, the greatest science fiction survival horror I have ever played. This comes as shock they gave this game a 9.

@Mobis

But you're just highlighting odd outliers. This seems like an easy crowd-pleaser that many were excited about, so it's practically a lock for a 8-9 from them imo.

[ABizzel1]

The general consensus is that it's a great story with good acting and characters, but almost ruined by awful pacing after Chapter 2 until the end of the game (which means it has awful pacing for most of the game). Still worth a play IMO.

I haven’t had a chance to play it yet but with kindafunny promoting it so heavily and a score this high with not high production values makes me think that this storyline is very woke to appeal to critics when most adults will find it takes them out of the story because it’s so obvious when a dev tries to push an agenda, regardless of which one.

[JayRyu]

Glad it's getting good reviews. 👍🏽
Looking forward to playing it.
Looks like it could be a sleeper hit

[Obscure_Observer]

Great review!

I can´t wait to play it co-op with friends and family.

[FanboysKiller]

Ign.

[Tedakin]

It got a 9 from Gamespot too.

[PrinceOfAnger]

Gamespot is ign too u know...

[monkey602]

I do find the art style jarring but I'll still give this a chance

[ichdich]

Great review!

I can´t wait to play it co-op with friends and family.

[Petebloodyonion]

Don't know why, but every time I see this game it gives me the feeling that this could be the spiritual sequel to Hotel Dusk on NDS.

[giovonni]

I have it loaded up ready to go just waiting for it to be release so I can start it

[wenaldy]

The art style is just poor man's A Scanner Darkly.

[Lightning77]

It was announced few years ago then went MIA for awhile. Tbh I didn't really care much for this game considering there were better games announced. It started gaining my attention when they announced the release date being tomorrow at the Xbox show.

Yes that's what it's coming down to folks. A simple release date for these games in order for me to gain I any sort of nterest at this point. Now that I see that it's actually good it makes me want to play it even more.

I'll definitely give this game a try.

Shout out to Stray as well for getting great reviews. There's hope for good games yet this year.

[Montrealien]

Suprised by all the reviews being so positive. Original I had written it off.
I will def give this one a look.

[TGGJustin]

I wouldn't say all of them when the game has a mid 70's average rating.

[Montrealien]

Well, the ones that matter for me then? Not a fan of revews averages, I prefer basing it on the reviewer which I know and in this case Gabriel Moss is someone I know we share the same tastes in gaming based on their other scores.

Also, if there is an average of 70%, that is and average of "positive reviews" I never claimed that the reviews where stellar across the board.

[thesoftware730]

I like what you did there...

Last I checked it was like 76%.

"Saying mid 70s" makes the number seem lower. It's like a good marketing trick as well, $2.99 looks better than $3.00.

[Nineball2112]

@thesoftware730

Uh, 74 - 76 is mid-70's. You think ONLY 75 is "mid 70's"?

[OmegaSoldati]

This seems to be a great game
