    Still fresh, still creative, still atmospheric. Two chapters released earlier as DLCs and included in the Complete Edition are absolutely on par with the original content, but despite this addition the game remains quite short. [06/2021, p.68]

    Deep atmosphere, rare setting and cool puzzles are tied up with lackluster music, boring monster encounters, and a plot, that's a little way too obscure. There is a lot to like about DARQ, but be ready for many shortcomings.

I believe it can compete with most of the famous games in this genre like: Limbo, Inside, Little Nightmare and etc.
    As its name suggests, game takes place in dark and scary atmosphere with lots of jump scares. Environment design was really cool. And like almost every puzzle platformer games, reading different theories about the story and ending in forums was really fun.
    However, in my opinion, the biggest problem about game, is that puzzles are not as challenging as they should be; Particularly the first 4 chapters didn't demand a lot of time nor thought to solve puzzles. But I must admit that "The Crypt" DLC had really hard-to-solve puzzles. If only all of the chapters were as hard as The Crypt, the game would be a masterpiece.
    In summary, despite simple puzzles, it's really fun to play and as I said it is a 'MUST' for those who like puzzle platformer games.

Darq vous plonge direct dans une atmosphère sombre, on est vite aspiré par l'ambiance... bref j'ai kiffé Full Review »
