    2Dark
    More frustrating than fun.
    In 2dark you play as a father who’s kids are kidnapped while camping... you spend the game searching for them… This is a top down survival adventure stealth game… you search the environment for clues and items to proceed through the levels.. Find keys and weapons... take out enemies... take their weapons... rescue children in the levels and deal with    2Dark

    In 2dark you play as a father who’s kids are kidnapped while camping...
    you spend the game searching for them…
    This is a top down survival adventure stealth game…
    you search the environment for clues and items to proceed through the levels..
    Find keys and weapons... take out enemies... take their weapons... rescue children in the levels
    and deal with a boss at the end…
    Its decently fun trying to figure everything, set things up and look for the items you need and just set up a domino effect of figuring the levels out…
    you have guns and melee weapons…
    you can even sneak up behind enemies for an insta kill…
    but if they see you you’re practically dead…. The melee is slow and beyond level 1 they usually have guns that kill you in one hit despite enemies needing around 3 to die...
    and ammo is scarce here, so you can’t just run through and shoot everyone…
    The stealth play is very difficult and rewarding once you finally pull a section off…
    and you can save at any time to make sure you don’t lose progress of a tough section…
    I spent around 3 and a half hrs. with this game but I never beat… and that’s because I’m almost certain its bugged…
    I ran into a bug at the end of level 2 where the buttons in the elevator completely disappeared… so I had to reload my save to get them back…
    after I got them back I ran into a frustrating decision that stopped all progression for me…
    Not only do you have to save the children in these levels by grabbing them or luring them away with candy… you also have to find clues…
    which I was doing pretty naturally.. I had no issue with it…
    but level 2 either has a ridiculously hidden clue or there’s a game stopping and game breaking bug much like the elevator glitch in the same level…
    I covered every inch of every floor of this level multiple times…
    every room telling me there was nothing else here…
    and the game would not let me progress because I didn’t have enough clues…
    so this is where it stopped for me…
    After the 5th sweep of the level… I was done.
    Any ounce of fun I was having was gone, all because of the idea of having mandatory collectables and making them nearly impossible to find... unless this was indeed a bug…
    This is a frustrating game…
    once I suggest you stay away from unless looking for stuff while things shoot at your is your favorite thing to do
    I give 2Dark
    a 5/10    … Expand

    In order to improve the experience, 2Dark needs a complete rewrite and significant work on its mechanics. There are way too many distractions in the game for it to stand out. Currently it’s poorly designed, narratively shallow, and relies upon cheap shocks instead of crafting a truly compelling game. It’s a shame that a game with so much potential is let down by gimmicks.

    Simple stealth with a theme you're not likely to forget, but it lacks cohesion and polish. [May 2017, p.90]

    2Dark seems to suffer from an identity crisis, unsure if it’s trying to be more of a stealth game or lean towards horror roots. I was impressed by the very dark and mature subject matter, especially since 2Dark holds nothing back, adding to its atmosphere, but certain design choices seem odd or simply in bad taste. It’s a gritty tale surrounded by average gameplay, and even though it has some serious hindrances, I think that some will find the stealth gameplay engaging and fun, but for the average gamer many of the mechanics behind 2Dark are 2Difficult to deal with.
