    Worst game in the series. incredibly boring catacombs wandering is 90% of the gameplay. Uninteresting and ugly characters who simply do not want to empathize

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is a bunch of ideas mixed together with neither head nor feet. A type of game that seems impressive when you read or hear about it, but falls flat when you actually get down to playing it.… Expand

    After activating the game key on steam, instead of fully downloading the game, only 5 bytes are downloaded as a file "dummy.txt "that sounds like an insult.

    Hence I can't run the game due to the lack of 'exe.
    Checking the integrity of local files does not help.

    And this is a problem for many, people have bought the game, but they can't even download it.

    Very boring, very poor Playstation 2 level graphics. It looks like a game was made by students, not a famous company.

    It was an average game. Low excitement. A bit long and boring. Better action and horror numbers should be made

    Ugly unlikable characters, boring drawn out scenes, more trash from Dark pictures...Horror without the cute college girl and sex appeal is like steak with seasoning. In fact alot of the female characters are so ugly they don't even look human,the ugliness mixed with digital animation makes the uncanny Valley ruin the whole experience.

    You don't expect great animations or graphics from this series, or deep puzzles, or a captivating plot or a cast that's more than canon fodder for failed QTEs.

    But someone bought a set of old Lara Croft animations for this one, so the character can climb and crawl and leap now, and as a result the whole level design is mercilessly stretched out, to the point where locations don't make any sense anymore to include that as much as possible. And don't you think you are allowed to fail in any way by falling down or jumping to your death. You won't get off this slow, linear ride that easily, oh no Sir.

    But there still is horror to be found here, like the movement controls that make you feel like you are drunk and ate a pound of glue. And in case you aren't pissed of yet there are other mechanics that occasionally bug out so that you will walk in circles around those really small spaces because a hint decided to not show up, or a cut scene decided no to trigger, or the button prompts lied, or one of your endlessly boring sidekicks stands in your way, so that you will slowly die on the inside because at this point you should have known better than buying the next installment of this series.    … Expand

    После прохождения внезапно прекрасной "House of Ashes" в меня вселилась огромная надежда и хайп на следующую часть, которая к тому же, является финалом 1 сезона антологии хоррор-игр "Тёмные картины", до этого я относился очень холодно к первым 2 частям серии, но мне наглядно показали, что в оболочке достаточно интересной концепции, формула то рабочая.
    Но потом случился "The Quarry",    После прохождения внезапно прекрасной "House of Ashes" в меня вселилась огромная надежда и хайп на следующую часть, которая к тому же, является финалом 1 сезона антологии хоррор-игр "Тёмные картины", до этого я относился очень холодно к первым 2 частям серии, но мне наглядно показали, что в оболочке достаточно интересной концепции, формула то рабочая.
    Но потом случился "The Quarry", следующая игра студии, которую склепали чуть больше, чем за пол года. Это кинцо уже никак не относилось к бюджетненьким Dark Pictures, представляя из себя AAA "духовного наследника" Playstaion-эксклюзива Until Dawn (Дожить до рассвета) для ПК-бояр, и игра тоже оказалась относительно неплохой. После этого ждать уже третий качественный продукт, выпущенный в период всего 12-ти месяцев, было бы глупо, я надеялся хотя-бы на 6/10.. ну потому что просто физически невозможно каждые пол года клепать хорошее интерактивное кино. В итоге всё оказалось даже печальнее и Supermassive выдала новый худший проект в своём портфолио, который смог переплюнуть даже "Little Hope", у которого ещё можно было найти хоть какие-то плюсы, причём уже через пару месяцев кампания выпустит ещё один проект во вселенной для Playstation VR 2 - "The Dark Pictures: Switchback", копец работники там кранчат за копейки, наверное.
    Тут же я вообще не знаю о чём говорить, 10-часовой сон даже в компании, даже для любителей жанра, я никому не могу посоветовать эту игру. Концепция последователя реально существующего маньяка Генри Холмса, построившим отель, полный ловушек, использована максимально бездарно, всё ограничивается задвигающимся стенами, перегораживающими проход, большую часть времени вы бродите по абсолютно дефолтным комнатам, а умираете либо от ножа маньяка, либо от ножа двигающегося манекена, нет, тут, конечно, есть комнаты "смерти", но они максимально банальные и не запоминаются. Персонажи тоже худшие, характеры никакие, их ветки недописаны, не говоря уже о том, что они надоели юзать одни и те же лица из части в часть, а ещё раньше в каждой их игре был хоть 1 малоизвестный, но хоть где-то заметный актёр из фильмов, тут, конечно, денег или фантазии уже не хватило. Я ещё опущу ужасное техническое состояние с кучей багов и задниками на уровне Playstation 2, а также ужасно неудобную камеру, которая начинает двигаться только через секунду после того, как повернётся ваша мышка.
    Но, добавили и много новых механик.. Продолжение тут (тупой лимит слов): https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198045304461/recommended/1567020/    … Expand

    Mediocre story with clunky gameplay and terrible performance. Lets get one thing straight these games are low budget and thrown out way before they are ready and you can really tell with this game buggy audio, cutscenes not working right, T posing, and really bad ui. i really wish these devs could produce a game like until dawn again but it seems they are a one hit wonder.

    Le pire Dark Pictures et le meilleur !
    Points positifs :

Il y en a trop... - le jeu n'est pas fini : on achète un jeu incomplet, et complètement bugué ; - dialogues qui changent de langue soudainement (le budget voix était trop faible ?) ; - les personnages passent à travers des objets ; - pleins de    Le pire Dark Pictures et le meilleur !

    - dialogues qui changent de langue soudainement (le budget voix était trop faible ?) ;
    - les personnages passent à travers des objets ;
    - pleins de coupures de scène soudaines, ce qui tue l'immersion ;
    - il y a eu un ajout d'inventaire qui laisse pantois, l'utilité étant au final très limité.

    J'ai rarement été autant déçu par un jeu, vendre quelque chose n'étant pas fini étant inadmissible. Je ne recommande pas jusqu'à temps que le jeu soit patché (un jour peut-être).
    C'est dommage, de tout les Dark Pictures, c'était le plus prometteur niveau histoire et ambiance flippante, dommage que la pléthore de bugs soit présente pour gâcher l'expérience de jeu.    … Expand

    We've come to the worst and the last game of the series. It's always been a mediocre series in general, but this last game was much worse than the others. I hope they don't develop any sequels anymore, I'm really bored with these games.

    This game has a weak plot introduction. All the previous games had a good reason to end up in the game’s plot i.e town, ship, cave etc. But this game is like “Just trust me, bro, Let's go to that place” and everyone’s like “Ok”.
    In some places, it showed me to press the left mouse button but wanted me to push Space. The ESC button also does not work in some menus.

    In some places, it showed me to press the left mouse button but wanted me to push Space. The ESC button also does not work in some menus. And don't even get me started on the electrical Numpad. I have never seen anything worse than that. Typical port issues like these hamper the game.
    Now about the story. Which should be the heart of this type of game. But where is the story? WHERE? **** Where? This game has no story at all. I kid you not you just get to run around the **** hotel the whole game. No plot. Running around being scared (the killer is not scary) of the killer is the plot. Characters have no depth to them. You won't even care what happens to them. **** I even enjoyed some of the brutal deaths I gave them intentionally, just because of how **** **** their character is.
    And this ****ty story goes on for how long? It's **** forever. This game has no right to be this long. What this game achieved is that you learn to torture yourself by playing this game. As if this game is the psychopath killer. Bravo devs, you did it.
    I am not wasting my time in their next game unless it gets fricking 8/10 in user scores.    … Expand

    The Devil In Me is a brutal, harrowing experience. The killer is monstrous, the choices to be made are nail-biters, and the story, when finally revealed, offers all the satisfaction of a opened puzzle box. The new gameplay mechanics fit seamlessly into the experience, and the additional player agency encourages investment in the story, rather than distracting from it. While nothing in the plot reaches the audacious heights of House of Ashes‘ finale and technical issues prevent co-op here from being the series’ best to date, it’s still a great experience, and the developers can be satisfied that they’ve ended the first phase of this series on extremely solid footing.

    If you expect a revolution in terms of gameplay, you’ll be disappointed. The developers still experiment in search of the perfect interactive cinematic experience formula, but their attempts are too modest to really make a difference. The Devil in Me is not only derivative, but also squanders the potential of its story and setting, and compared to The Quarry, looks like an unpolished project developed on a tight budget.

    The Devil In Me is one of Supermassive Games' most interesting title to date. It's an entry that expands on their classic horror formula while never straying far from the decisions that made these games so fun. Unfortunately the plethora of bugs made getting through this title a nightmare. While there is still fun to have in the story and gameplay, it's a title that's recommended to play through in a few months when these issues are fixed.
