Deadlight: Director’s Cut Review | Xbox One UK

You'd assume that a Director’s Cut of a video game would add a lot more significant content than a vastly underwhelming survival mode, but Deadlight developers Tequila Works seemed to miss that memo. Apparently, some concept art, the aforementioned survival mode and a higher difficulty level are enough to suffice. Actually, that does sound significant on paper, but in reality it’s not, and that’s especially true if you’ve already played Deadlight before.

So is Deadlight worth your hard earned cash? If this is a return journey, probably not, but new players can find a lot to love here. The story, characters and world are subtly told via diary entries and collectibles, making this game ideal for completionists. The gameplay is solid, the graphics are good, and whilst it’s a short game, it doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s just a shame that veteran players aren’t given a little more.
