    I suffered through it laddie, aye, that I did. Armed only with me wits, I battled through all them QTEs, all till the bitter end, with me wild, trusty psychiatric sidekick lassie, faced things beyond the human ken, and met fair share of them spooks along the way.

    An absolutely dreadful reboot to a venerable game series. The game looks and plays like it was made some 10 years ago. The camera is awful and so are the controls, even though I was using a gamepad. The story is incredibly bland and the only good thing about it is that it's short (around 4-5 hours of rather lazy gameplay). The inventory is broken on so many levels.

And most of all the game is very poorly optimized for PC (at times it feels like a poor console port). Black Mirror reboot will most probably be a huge disappointment for all Black Mirror fans like myself. I strongly advise you to stay away for this one.… Expand

    Blasphemy -
    Showing hatred against the cross, abusing a cross as a mere tool like a hammer: Even pagans must be disgusted by those blasphemies.
    And even if you do not care about morality: This "game" is rather an interactive movie. A normally boring, at times annoying and frustrating "puzzle" design. Avoid.

    Игра короткая что несомненно плюс т.к. она скучная. Графика из 2012, под загрузки везде. Сюжет в оригинальной серии лучше.

    What made a great story and atmosphere of Black Mirror series it's now gone. Instead of embracing the foundation of that rich story and enhance it with the new technologies nowadays, they decided to "reboot" it with entirely different characters and vision. I was looking forward so much to seeing another game with great feeling that previous ones left in me, playing them over and overWhat made a great story and atmosphere of Black Mirror series it's now gone. Instead of embracing the foundation of that rich story and enhance it with the new technologies nowadays, they decided to "reboot" it with entirely different characters and vision. I was looking forward so much to seeing another game with great feeling that previous ones left in me, playing them over and over again trough the years just to sense that nice feeling of playing good story line game. Today, everything is about money and 3D or VR. Point and click is considered as old-fashioned obsolete technique, but I am still wondering how it gave me so much more enjoyment and still does...That's why there are rarely good games now, everything is about big fancy realistic graphics and motion methods, reality enchanters - like VR or other, but they fail in my opinion big time whilst simple 3rd point and click can feel so much more alive..even in 2018. Hope to see a game one day related to Black Mirror as we all fans knew it, remade, remastered without killing the reach story and atmosphere which the 3 games managed to build.… Expand

    I really loved the first Black Mirror game, also quite liked the second one. Third one was just okay. But this... I'm going to be honest I only played for about two hours because I couldn't stand how clumsy it felt how the story felt. It feels like a terrible fan fiction. They removed everything that made the originals so good. Now it's just a generic gloomy game with ghosts and a castle.I really loved the first Black Mirror game, also quite liked the second one.

They removed everything that made the originals so good. Now it's just a generic gloomy game with ghosts and a castle. The old spirit is away. If you haven't played the trilogy go and play it. It's old but it's still amazing and the mood will fascinate you. Stay away from this unless you really like this kind of console influenced wannabe advanture games.… Expand

    Was excited to play it, but after completing I'm kinda disappointed. It's not what I expected, but still not very bad.

    The puzzles are decent sometimes and David has a very nice coat, but that’s about all Black Mirror’s advantages I can think of. [02/2018, p.38]

    Black Mirror has potential to be a decent horror puzzle adventure, but its technical limitations and pacing issues prevents that from ever becoming apparent. Its £25 entry fee is steep for the short experience you’ll be getting, and the end product feels like a shadow of its former self.

    The original game was akin to an epic novel. The remaster feels like an abrupt, kitschy fanfic.
