Deadlight: Director's Cut

Kaspersky detects "TrojanWin32.Reconyc.hvxj". As by the last commends, this issue seems to exist since some weeks, but unfortunately I have found no reaction from GOG side. :(

I'm not really a big fan of platform games, but I found this surprisingly enjoyable. At least for a while. It's pretty atmospheric, and the overall look, sound effects, and music combine together to make for a genuinely bleak and gloomy experience that really sells the post-apocalyptic storyline and makes you feel more engaged. Far more so than in games such as Left4Dead. Which pretty much just move you from jump scare to jump scare by means of a hoard of monsters. It's also refreshing that this game give you plenty of options to avoid your enemies or to trap them, rather than just being a hack and slash ghoul slaying adventure where your main aim in the game is simply to pick up an increasingly powerful set of weapons to blast an increasingly large hoard of enemies. So far, so good. If you're into survival horror and platforms then this is a fun game. But for me the novelty wore off quite quickly and I soon found myself simply running and jumping through levels, and calling zombies into traps. The game still looks and plays beautifully , but the environments got stale and didn't hold my attention for long. I also found it frustrating that most of the scenery was little more than a matte background that couldn't be interacted with. If you're into this type of game then it's probably going to be enjoyable, if not, you might get bored quickly. Some people say that it's too short. I got bored before finishing it so I can't comment on that.

Deadlight had a lot of potential but fell short mostly due to technical issues. Clunky animations and a lot bugs including game breaking ones. And this is in Director's cut version published 4 years after initial release. Cutscenes are fine, but the plot itself is terrible, full of deus ex machina and situations that just do not make any sense. Visuals are good, backgrounds are even great. Action felt really satisfying from time to time despite poor animation.

Fun cinematic platformer with atmosferic visuals but way too many bugs (especially considering this is Director's Cut) drag experience down.

I don't know why, but everytime I died, the GOG Launcher close on it's own and doesn't track my Time of Play & Progress. It says 11 Minutes, but I played this game for STRAIGHT TWO HOURS! And odd theory, is that if I died, the game won't track my progress, which is funny. Still, It's a decent game, but this issue is just weird.
