If you can get this game on one of it's many sales go for it, it's much more refined than the original version that came out in 2012.
The controls are a little slippery but there's something so awesome about the zombies charging towards you from the background in a horde, really thrilling. The game definitely has some flaws and the story is really weird with an absolutely demendted ending if you beat it on "Nightmare" mode but it's an fun little game you can finish on a spooky night in October.
Weak Premise and Janky Gameplay, but at least the story is bad, but at least the checkpoints are annoying, but at least it's mostly trial and error, but at least it's entirely unoriginal.
Really well made and fun but very short, it would have been waaaaay better if you continued the story as stella and got her to safety & have her with some kind of handicap as a twist for gameplay.
Don't get me wrong this game is worth a few quid, but left me feeling like it should have kept going.
Plus no achievements on GOG, same as always on steam but not bothered here which is a shame.
Deadlight: Director's Cut was released in 2016. And it's about a grizzly survivor type guy, with a woodsman beard and rough voice, avoiding zombies. In 2016.
The voice acting is sub-par. The game comes with the usual cliches, looking for friends, then family, hallucinations and Joel wannabe machismo. The animations are sluggish. Joel-- I mean Randall, snaps to ledges and interrupts whatever animation he was doing if you press the jump button. Cutscenes are static images moving slightly in one direction or another. They're okay. The dialogue doesn't help though. I wonder if it would have been a more intriguing game if the protagonist was deaf so he wouldn't have to listen to himself or others talking.
The puzzles are aim this at that and make sure to jump properly. Nothing mind bending. And the secrets are highlighted so you can't really miss them unless you go the right way because you thought there was a secret that way.
There is combat but it's rarely a good choice. You can outrun and trap zombies, because they can't climb or get out of holes, which I think it's a good thing.
It's an okay game if you want to waste a few (very few) hours or you're really into zombies. It has its cliches though, and the atmosphere isn't that compelling, to me at least. I had fun, albeit at making my own challenges, like a no-zombie-kill run or all-zombie-kill run. It has nice extras though.
TL:DR
The experience of the game's story is good, the actual gameplay is clunky with keyboard and mouse (I don't have a controller to test it) if you want to buy it wait for it to go on sale
The Good
-The game looks really good when it didn't need to be since it's a side scroller platformer
-The characters have fairly good voice acting and the character art in the cutscenes are amazing
The Bad
-The controls are pretty clunky and somewhat unresponsive when doing the wall jump mechanic which becomes very important later on
-The game has a bunch of cheap deaths from falling debris thats happens when you don't jump or run fast enough due to the clunky controls
