It has not aged well
The atmosphere is very cool, graphics are dated, but as someone that has played the previous 3 games I got not much to complain on this front, the story looks interesting and the music sets the mood, unfortunately that doesn't save it from being infuriating, Tank controls were always bad, but I cpuld live with them, what I can't tolerate is that enemies seem to materialize in front of you, really, those dogs pop up right in the middle of the screen, inches away from me, leaving me miliseconds to aim and shoot, it's like if the game forgot to spawn the enemies up until the last second, it is obvious the devs wanted to go more action oriented with this title, but it appears that they also want you to take it slowly like in the previous games After I got too frustrated with Edward's campaign I decided to try Aline's and is much much worse, in the second room you are shown that the beasts can be disintegrated by light, but in the next room the game goes "just kidding, now you can only scare them a little", but them the lightbeam from the flashlight does not always "hit" at what you're aiming at, leaving you open for a free hit, you can try to run, but running endlessly is not the best way to set up a game where you need to explore small rooms infested with enemies I know I am biased because just a couple of weeks ago I finished Alan Wake so I probably was expecting too much from a game this old, but at the end of the day I only got one question "am I having fun?" if the answer is negative is time to stop, and this not happened to me while playing alone in the dark 1 and 2, 3 tho... is a story for another day
Is this helpful to you?
