Rob Pitt writes: Certain genres I try and stay away from as they frustrate and annoy me to the point where I know for a fact that I won’t finish them and come to an honest conclusion for my reviews. However, every now and again I spot a game which I feel I have to play regardless of my preconceptions for the genre and gameplay mechanics.
Bendy and the Ink Machine is the latest game which had me step out of my comfort zone and take on two of the things I really don’t like in video gaming, horror and hiding in closets!
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "From the top of his sharpened horns to the soles of his feet, Bendy is an inspired analogue of Mickey Mouse with – ironically – a similar marketing function in mind; likewise, Ink Machine ultimately serves as a pastiche of other horror templates. The reason the former finds greater success than the latter comes down to one thing: focus. By hastily tracing so many personalities, and oftentimes whipping between them at Mach speed, there's less time (and less reason) to understand why that gimmick or design ethos made the experience so engaging to begin with. It's clear (real-life) Joey Drew Studios has the ambition to build on an intriguing concept; now it just needs better craftsmanship."
