    Bendy And The Ink Machine is a beautiful, dark tribute to old-school animation. Its explore and puzzle adventure surprises the player in every chapter with new mechanics based in hide & seek and stealth. Its compelling story is an allegory to workaholism.

    The vision behind Bendy and the Ink Machine is so absurdly coherent that soaking in the game’s atmosphere is pure pleasure. It’s a shame that the overall impression suffers from repetitive gameplay and – from time to time – boredom. [02/2019, p.52]

    great story, beautiful music, scary places and clever jumpscares. What is there more to say about this game then the great nostalgic artstylegreat story, beautiful music, scary places and clever jumpscares. What is there more to say about this game then the great nostalgic artstyle that gives it a unic look to the game. Most people complain about the lacking content in chapter 2, but that is not true. The 6 dollars are entirely worth it considering the great story and music that really fits the environment. In short, if you like a captivating horror game, then this game is for you Expand

    Visuals - 5/10 - (Average)
    When it comes to the game's visuals, Bendy and the ink machine can offer your absolutely great character design, but besides that, the game falls flat, pretty much every location of the game is made of wood and has that yellow filter to it, you rarely see a change in locations and everything looking the same can be pretty disorienting and you will probably get lost quite often.
    The game also doesn't support 21:9 monitors, leaving you with those annoying black bars.

    Gameplay - 5/10 - (Average)
    The gameplay is one of the game's biggest sins, the character speed is awfully slow, even when sprinting, which gets really annoying considering that you might get lost quite a bit. I would say that having combat in a horror game might make it less scary, which is true in this case, but besides having combat it is really slow and boring, you just go around bonking enemies until they die. The horror is based on loud noises and cheap jumpscares, at no moment you will feel scared, especially after knowing that you can just bonk whatever is trying to scare you.

    Story - 6/10 - (Fine)
    The Story is pretty simple and easy to follow until you get to the end and the game tries to make the ending open-ended. The main character's voice acting is abysmal, but memos and Alice have great voices and easily overshadows the mc. Just don't expect too much from it, the real stars of the game are the character (except the main character).

    Игра очень хорошая. Графика, сюжет, атмосфера, всё стоит своих денег. Это шедевр. Однако, Give_em_hell, если у тебя мало FPS, купи нормальныйИгра очень хорошая. Графика, сюжет, атмосфера, всё стоит своих денег. Это шедевр. Однако, Give_em_hell, если у тебя мало FPS, купи нормальный компьютер. У меня таких проблем нет. Сохранения там есть: это коробочки на стенах, рядом с которым висит плакат с ними, и всего лишь нужно нажать на эти коробки. Причём игра почти не содержит скримеров, тоесть при нападении чернильного демона появится чёрный экран. Да и также, Борис - отличный персонаж, и он волк. Expand
