    Great art style with a great atmosphere but unfortunately thats the only positive thing I can say about this game. The Three current chapters are all extremely short (if you don´t count the really annoying puzzles that aren`t fun at all and only makes the game worse) which really makes you wonder why both episode Two and Three cost 6€ each when they should cost about 2 or 3€. Chapter OneGreat art style with a great atmosphere but unfortunately thats the only positive thing I can say about this game. The Three current chapters are all extremely short (if you don´t count the really annoying puzzles that aren`t fun at all and only makes the game worse) which really makes you wonder why both episode Two and Three cost 6€ each when they should cost about 2 or 3€. Chapter One was great (and free) but it seems like after that each chapter has just gotten worse. Episode Two introduced the unnecessary and boring combat system which removes a big part of the games "scare factor" and episode Three was just completely awful since the only thing you really do is completing some really annoying quests by searching the same floors over and over again. In the end Bendy and the Ink machine has great potential but it seems like the developers don´t really know what they want to do with the game… Expand

    It is a videogame that surprises me because of its design that is very charming but it is worth the graphics history designs and many more things in these 4 chapters

    I really like this game, the atmosphere is great the style, I can tell this "could" have a bright future. However the second chapter was a big disappointment, It's worth 6 dollar and only has 15-20 minutes of content. After completing 2 or 3 objectives you think that the chapter is just getting started but that's it, you are left reading the credits and wondering did I just spent 6 dollarsI really like this game, the atmosphere is great the style, I can tell this "could" have a bright future.

I hope they amend this mistake on future chapters.… Expand

    Take a survival horror game (in the loosest terms), use nostalgia from a bygone era of animation and then charge around $6.00 a chapter (which runs roughly around twenty minutes long) and you have Bendy and the Ink Machine.

    The game relies on the same old tired horror tropes like so many other games, which is atmosphere and jump scares, none of which it does well enough to warrant    Take a survival horror game (in the loosest terms), use nostalgia from a bygone era of animation and then charge around $6.00 a chapter (which runs roughly around twenty minutes long) and you have Bendy and the Ink Machine.

    I have enough of these games without saves and that you can't change controls ! Also very poorly optimized with huge FPS problems. Have some respect for PC gamers !

    Игра 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.

    This was an incredibly tedious experience only to be rewarded with an alright ending that ties some loose ends but not the entire story. The chapters were around 30-60 minutes long but they were so boring and slow that it felt like an eternity before you advance the story. Game play is a mediocre walking simulator with a very bad combat system and idiotic puzzles (you also can't even die].This was an incredibly tedious experience only to be rewarded with an alright ending that ties some loose ends but not the entire story.

    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]

    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.
