Hit or miss...
'Black Mirror' is entertaining enough, with beautiful, atmospheric settings and a story that is exciting and satisfying. Its merits are difficult to enjoy given the sometimes repetitive gameplay. The game is heavily reliant on items and environmental interactions. The challenge is that items or actions that make complete sense cannot be done until you've somehow triggered them, meaning that much of the game is spent going back to previous locations to try to interact with an object that is suddenly usable. Ah, and the waiting quests! There are a few "puzzles" that basically just require waiting, wandering back and forth between screens until the next action is triggered. There are many bits of information and backstory tucked into the game that are never answered or addressed again (e.g., Samuel's wife?), and the twist at the end is so obvious early in the game yet completely underwhelming in execution. The length and periodically genuinely challenging and fun puzzles make the last two chapters of the game feel lazy and rushed. The game had great potential, especially as it managed to use nuance to create a mysterious and creepy atmosphere, which is honestly pretty rare for even "horror"adventure games. Overall: as another reviewer said "this is no masterpiece". I enjoyed playing it and would recommend it to even inexperienced adventure game players, as it is accessible qua controls, the story pacing is excellent, and there is limited moon logic.
