    Having an obsession with 2D games released in the past few years, I thought I'd give Deadlight a whirl. For the most part, I enjoyed it. However, it certainly hasn't become a favourite.

    Definitely not an outstanding game in any aspect. But it's really entertaining. Not bad if you can get a low price!

    Great-looking 2D platform game set in an extremely cinematic and atmospheric zombie-infested, post apocalyptic wasteland.

    A success. It’s as grueling and intense as dour puzzle-platformers come, and thanks to its striking visuals and deliberate pacing, it proves an interesting and unique take on the overstuffed ‘zombpocalypse’ genre. With its tight gameplay, (mostly) great level design, and troubling vision of America in collapse, Deadlight deserves to be recognized as a standout in the genre.

    Deadlight is, for the most part, a well-paced game that doesn’t linger very long in any one area or on one activity. It is also a rather short game, clocking in at about five hours, which is rather underwhelming for its price.

    If you’re a die-hard fan of Deadlight, then you probably don’t even need to read a review to know whether or not to buy it, you’ll just do it anyway. For everyone else, this is an average game that has been surpassed in the years since it came out. There are far better 2D platformers available. You can give this one a miss.
