    Improved movement; Great graphics; Intriguing setting; Builds tension well.
    Bad- Silly story climaxes; Cast characterizations feel flat.

    While some of The Devil in Me’s characterizations feel a bit too flat to really make the cast pop, and the more extreme moments of the story didn’t quite work for me, it’s hard to deny that this Dark Pictures entry has more going for it than not. The new ideas it introduces into the formula might ultimately be too few and far between to totally make up for some of the lingering issues that have held back these games since this anthology began, but it’s still a solid horror adventure for fans of the series and the genre.    … Expand

    I just beat the game, and have no desire to play it again it was so boring. The other three I wanted to replay this one feels like I am out 40 dollars for something I will never play again. I achievement hunt but game play and story on this was dreadful, worst so far. I got stuck in a book case, not a trap but clipped into a book case. They somehow made a murder hotel boring.

    This might be the worst game of the year. Absolutely broken, with so many bugs, the controls are the worst, and the gameplay is so damn boring and uninspired. And the story is as bad or maybe worst than the last games in the series. Are more plot holes in this game than in any strainer, oh and the dialogue most of the time is braindead...

    I've played every choice game under the sun and i just can't be positive on this one... its sooo bland and boring. They keep trying to make horror games as if it was a horror movie but there is a difference... watching a movie of it is easy but making decisions just after the character has just gotten themselves in a stupid moronic situation is headache inducing.

    Приключение 5ерых людей в реальном истории ужаса серийного убийцы Генри Холмса, заставило держать интерес и напряжение в начальных уровнях. Со временем мне как то не зашло, в каких то моментах жутко надоело бегать и что то искать пути и решения. Сцены хороши и интересны за исключением геймплея чтобы найти какой то путь в полном тьме.

Со временем мне как то не зашло, в каких то моментах жутко надоело бегать и что то искать пути и решения. Сцены хороши и интересны за исключением геймплея чтобы найти какой то путь в полном тьме. Игра бы стала лучше если сделали этот отель под стилем паранормальных явлений на похожих основе от фильма "Искатели могил" это было тогда настолько страшно и думаю заняло топ 1 часть игр в этом антологии. Ужаса и напряжения в этом игре ощутил очень мало чем в остальных частях, так что могу сказать что эта часть хуже остальных, это мое мнение. Но все же задумка с реально история внедрить в игру это неплохо но мне в процессе игры к сожалению не зашло. Графика и вполне достойная анимация в этом игре хорошая.… Expand

    The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me is only disappointing. With this part, Supermassive Games have clearly taken a step back, or even clearly 2. Firstly, The Devil in Me is inferior to House of Ashes in everything, and secondly, it does not bring anything new to the series except for the appearance of inventory. The story itself surprisingly does not contain mysticism, so theThe Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me is only disappointing.

Firstly, The Devil in Me is inferior to House of Ashes in everything, and secondly, it does not bring anything new to the series except for the appearance of inventory. The story itself surprisingly does not contain mysticism, so the genre from horror turns into a thriller. And that's how the thriller The Devil in Me has nothing to surprise at all. Well, at least the beginning is not as long as in previous games of The Dark Pictures. The Devil in Me is so boring in the plot that you want to compare it to Man of Medan. That's not how they needed to finish the first season. I really hope that the quality of The Devil in Me is a consequence of the fact that Supermassive Games is busy with another more important sequel for season 2 of The Dark Pictures rather than the parallel development of The Quarry. Passing game, can only be recommended to fans of the series and genre.… Expand

    Баги, выбор без выбора, совершенно слитая история мотивации главного злодея, открытая концовка, которая намекает на сиквел (без сиквела). Тем не менее, спермамассиве гамес все еще дают нам неплохое кинцо, наполненное саспенсом (и скримерами). В целом, оценка 6 - не так плохо, те же ашеры получили меньше.Баги, выбор без выбора, совершенно слитая история мотивации главного злодея, открытая концовка, которая намекает на сиквел (без сиквела).

    The new mechanics are awful and disturbing, making the characters more dificult to control. The story of the game was a big deception after what the trailers suggested, appart from that, the same empty main characters as in the other games, that makes you not get interest, and, maybe the VO was better, but the spanish dubbing is simply AWFUL.

    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.
