Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare

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.

First of all, works perfectly in Windows 10. And support Xinput controller too, at least. That said, the game is a classic fixed camera surival horror, just like old Resident Evil games. Pre-rendered backgrounds are awesome and the lighting system was incredible, for its age. Not really terrifying but a good survival experience, indeed.

Great game was happy to see this here to buy, but honestly does not work well no cutscenes work correctly other than that its grand

It's an underrated game, one of the few to use flashlights with pre-calculated 2D. What's more, it's clear that Resident Evil 4 beta 3.5 was inspired by Alone in the Dark The New Nightmare. In short, it's a good Survival Horror.

Unfortunately, as much as I really wanted to love this game from so long ago dating back to the Dreamcast and Playstation, this game is really bad Control and Mechanic Wise and I don't mean bad controls as in Tank Controls. You have to literally be Pixel Perfect to pick up anything or activate anything, Enemies Respawn and you have limited Ammo in which you NEED to save for bosses or you have to restart the WHOLE GAME OVER AGAIN. Well, you are thinking, just use a Melee Weapon and Save Ammo? There are no Melee Weapons in this game.... Yet in the earlier Alone In The Dark Series, they had Swords you could use?!?! Completely unacceptable. Just run past enemies in a Narrow hallway in an attempt to save ammo? They will get you 9 out of 10 Times. First Aid Kits are limited until about Half of the game and this is with Carnby, the easiest Character out of the 2. The Storyline and some of the Music and Sound Effects boost it to 2 Stars out of 5, but even though this is based off of a Resident Evil/Silent Hill Survival Horror Tank Controls game, it isn't the Tank Controls that ruin it, it's the Balance and Mechanics of Limited Ammo, No Melee Weapons to save Ammo and that you need this Ammo to Defeat Broken Bosses or you won't progress. Don't Believe me? Just read about the First Boss encounter with Carnby in the Library, that just might very well be the definition of a Bullet Sponge. Puzzles are tough but that's what Guides are for. Again, it's the Mechanics of the game of no Melee, limited Ammo and Broken Boss Fights along with Pixel Perfect searching that makes this really bad. This game makes Resident Evil 3 look like a masterpiece and I wish I was kidding. I really wanted to love this one, but it's beyond frustrating when it doesn't need to be.
