"When Alone in the Dark hit the desks of game reviewers, the general consensus was that it was a great idea with an execution that lacked polish. The game clocks in at a 59 on Metacritic.com but reading through the review snippets, nearly everyone points out that the story and puzzles shine."
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "In one sense, it feels strange to even think Pieces Interactive had big shoes to fill with this series' legacy. Given what's come before, did it really? And yet, even when considering the last two flops over a two-decade span, there's still something about Alone in the Dark emblazoned on a title screen that carries a sense of revered history. In that respect, perhaps this reboot's best accomplishment is in honoring that spirit through its inventive world. It's also fair to emphasize knocks against its survival-horror design, some puzzle-solving, and so on; it certainly won't be considered a trendsetter like the 1992 classic. Still, the amount of goodwill wedded to its brighter qualities makes for something that dawdles the line between unfortunately-flawed and impressively-enticing."
The new Alone in the Dark remake doesn't do anything especially noteworthy, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's just... cromulent.
The original Alone in the Dark - hailing all the way back from 1992 - is re-imagined with Unreal Engine 4. The story and puzzle elements are dramatically overhauled, where PS5, Series X and S strive for 60fps gameplay in a decent performance mode. However there are technical rough points to this release which detract from what could be a much better game.
series S performance mode, 800x450p - 1600-900p
so NEVER hits 1080, and goes as low as a ps2.
this consoles dead to me
However, it would seem that Eden Games has made a substantial improvement over the original XBOX 360 version, therefore making this worth a second chance. I will rent the PS3 version to see if it's any better, and if it turns out that everything that GI has listed works out in the game's overall favor, I might consider a purchase.
day one for me cant wait
I will wait for the reviews.
