Alone in the Dark

Bueno 7/10

Franchement, je m'amuse sur ce jeu et c'est la le plus important pour moi. Alors oui, les graphismes ne sont pas derniers cris mais pour ma part l'important n'est pas la. Je trouves que nous manquons de jeu d'enquêtes avec une histoire intéressante. Je ne l'ai pas finis et peut être que je serais déçus de la fin mais cela n'a pas d'importance si j'ai pris du plaisir à avancer. Question gameplay c'est pas au top du top également mais au risque de me répéter, cela n'a pas d'importance dans ce genre de jeux. Si vous aimer les enquêtes avec une histoire correct et l'univers de Lovecraft et bien ce jeu vous conviendra. Je recommande donc sur la base de tous ces critères. Je veux plus de jeux comme cela !

No

I just want a remake of Alone in the Dark (2008), not all this other stuff.

[h1]Лавкрафт без Ктулху[/h1] Еще одна игра по мотивам Лавкрафта, только без Ктулху, не считая ктулхоподобных монстров с щупальцами. Тут сюжет основан на таких древних как Ньярлатотеп и Шуб-Ниггурат. История интересная и в духе Лавкрафта, но при первом прохождении может показаться слишком упоротой и непонятной, что характерно. Для получения всех достижений игру придется пройти минимум 3 раза (я прошел 4), т.к. 2 раза точно за разных персонажей, тщательно обыскивая все углы и проговаривая диалоги и еще 1 раз для ачивки спидрана. Кстати, условия ачивки спидрана - пройти игру за 3 часа или меньше, а я прошел менее чем за 2 часа, это оказалось довольно не сложно, если подготовиться. Учитывая, что в игре нет ни одного достижения связанного с прохождением игры на высоком уровне сложности, то мой вам совет - играйте на легком. Ну правда, забейте на все это превозмогание и геройство, данная игра не для этого. Если вначале может быть и интересно поубивать монстрятину с какой-то тактикой уворотов и экономией патронов, то в конце со всей этой толпой врагов и персонажем с кисельным управлением бой превращается в пытку, которая ничем не окупается. Эта игра не про стрелялки, а про историю, исследование, решение головоломок и т.д.

I rarely drop a game, but i dropped this one, really boring, the gunplay sucks, the puzzles are not fun to solve at all and the worst of all is the voice acting, i just cant stand the bored voices of the protagonists.

Огонь! Доуайте 2-й и 3-й ремейки)

Graphiquement Correct ! J'ai eu des lag seulement sur certaines cinématique sinon le jeu en lui même et très fluide. L'histoire n'est pas trop mal, on cherche à suivre... Pour la difficulté je recommande fortement de mètre au max des le début car le jeu n'est vraiment pas difficile.... Ceux qui connaisse pas, c'est un genre de résident evil croisé avec silent hill en mode light. Maintenant je vais le refaire avec la nénette ;)

I understand that it’s a reimagining and not a remake and since Call of Cthulhu was intended to be used in the original, but as the agreement was revoked, they made it into their own thing and spawned the 3d survival horror genre, I think this game needed to be given a subname as to indicate that it’s not a remake of the original as if it was I would rather the story keep faithful, though I believe that a remake that brings the originals to this kind of gameplay and honors the original games should happen at some point. Another issue is that the difference in story between the two characters is so little as you go through the same things, just different or altered cutscenes with them slowly telling you the story in Edward’s version and straight up telling the main twist in Emily’s near the beginning and the only actual difference is chapter 4, I feel that they needed to make them actually do different things rather than the same, giving you the ability to see what either were doing throughout the whole story or combine them and swap between them per chapter, but as it is right now, beat one’s story and watch the other’s cutscenes. I would recommend Emily unless you’re actually going to do a second playthrough as the other character, I initially wanted to, but by the end I was just frustrated and decided not to do my second and that made me wish I chose Emily instead. It feels like they put less and less thought into the puzzles as you go through the game. For one case are Safe codes because they suck at having any actual clue on how to do them as the warehouse only tells you the direction and I had to search it up to find out that I need to count the bold letters for the numbers or later ones just tell you the numbers at that point might as well be key locks instead. Then that brain scan one was just trial and error with rotating the scans to get what you want with the only hint being one has text on it so it’’s the bottom, but I never felt like I actually figured it out it just happened and that frustrated me more as instead of giving me the “aha I figured it out” I went “Wow, that was just rotating the pictures until it magically worked.” Then there is the boat where if the item to your puzzle is literally 5 feet away then it doesn’t need to be a puzzle. Loading has the game act choppy and have no sound for a while. It’s a pretty short game though that lack of differences between characters may make you less inclined to do another. Maybe it’s just a standard difficulty and easier thing, but I was swamped in ammo and only was low post combat sections or the end of the boat, I got annoyed early when I saw how low the amount you could hold was, But I never had to actually stealth throughout the game since it just gave me too much ammo. Enemy health was finicky as one enemy will die to the shotgun in 1 shot, but at other times 3 or more and it was the same type of enemy. The controls prioritizes controller even if you don’t have one plugged in from the design and I had to go into my button layout to know how to heal or switch weapons as for some reason weapon 4 is hold 1 instead of being 4. Occasionally I will come across items that get highlighted when I focus but I can’t pick them up or something that looks like a healing items, but for some reason I can’t highlight or even pick them up, in chapter 3 an enemy spawned stuck in a box and some rooms don’t change from pink despite everything having been picked up. I have heard there is a bug when transferring to New Game + where your collectibles don’t transfer over for whatever reason and unfortunately if you want any of the secret endings or to 100% the game it requires you to play both stories, made harder due to what I remarked earlier about the little differences though on NG+ you move faster. I believe that the game starts out good, but half way though it drops in quality and it needed more work before release. That is why I struggled finding what rating to give, but I feel that not recommended suits it best as even though the first half is really good, I can’t recommend half a game. Unfortunately the company that made this was shut down by Embracer afterwards.
