Alone in the Dark

It has an interesting story, with some good voice-actors, beautiful environments and lots of Lovecraft lore to tickle my fancy.

In terms of gameplay, the combat is serviceable, while the puzzles, with a few exceptions discussed below, are really excellent, being both challenging but not impossible, and with an absence of moon logic.

It had a recognisable name with pedigree, great looking graphics with tons of atmosphere, a story by the writer of SOMA, and two pretty major hollywood starts, Jodie Comer and David Harbour, headlining as it’s leads.

Voice-acting is pretty good though, although it becomes clear that they all were reading their lines alone in a booth, and never actually recorded dialogue between 2 real people.
