PC Gamer: Alone in the Dark Review

The game, such as it is, descends in this clumsy, broken way all the way through to the end, saving the worst for last in a sequence that has you doing an hour's busywork while the screen warps as if you were on acid. It's no wonder that the game allows you to advance to the next "chapter" (also known as a "level") in the story at any time. Think about it: the developer built-in a level skip. PC Gamer recommend a cheaper alternative: the game skip.

You'll love:
- Brilliant ideas balance boring fetch quests
- Setting things on fire
- The first six hours of the game

You'll hate:
- The not-so-mysterious mystery of Central Park
- Setting yourself on fire
- The last six hours of the game
