Great game with modern hardware issues

Its a good suvival horror classic, tank controls, punchy weapons, good sound and interesting puzzles, yet, when running in modern systems the cutscenes wont play properly, just a black screen with audio and it seems to be a known issue for quite some time, controller support is... mid, as only some buttons work properly but thats to be expected from such an old game, besides that, tis quite an enjoyable experience.

Good start, sloppy finish

Around midway the story for this game goes off the deep end; the ending feels very rushed and sloppy. It's a pity, because the game starts out pretty solid.

Best Alone In The Dark game!

The New Nightmare is decidedly the best game in the Alone In The Dark franchise and one of the greatest horror games ever made. Even after 25 years (soon to be celebrated) it still has a generations of players who love it. I sincerely think that a remaster or a true-to-the-original remake would be the next step in ensuring that the legacy of the AITD ftranchise will go on. The sooner, the better...

Controls? Lost, methinks.

Nice and atmospheric. But very predictable. The worst are in fact the lack of proper controls, and way of customizing them. It is almost as if the use of a mouse is superfluous because of Tomb Raider-ish auto-aim, and that's cool enough, but the damn flashlight, which again is imperative to see the monsters in time to shoot first, is dependent on use of the mouse. There you have it. Remember. This be my opinion. Try and judge thyself.
